Alliance offers undergraduate programmes including BBA (Hons), B.Com (Hons), B.A. LLB (Hons), BBA LLB (Hons), B.Tech (Regular), UG Liberal Arts, B.Des, BA (Hons), and B.Sc (Hons), largely through its own Alliance University Scholastic Aptitude Test (AUSAT), a 90-minute, 100-question test across English Language, Language Comprehension, Numerical Ability and Data Interpretation, General Awareness, and Logical Reasoning. Whether AUSAT is a mandatory entrance requirement for every UG programme, or primarily a scholarship-qualification test, is not stated clearly on the university's own admission pages, so this page does not assert it as the sole admission route for every UG programme.
At the postgraduate level, MBA admission accepts CAT, XAT, GMAT, NMAT, MAT, KMAT, CMAT, or the university's own Alliance Management Aptitude Test (AMAT), followed by an academic-record review, an oral extempore presentation, an essay, and a personal interview. Law programmes accept CLAT and LSAT-India scores alongside AUSAT, plus a personal interview.
| Route | Programmes | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| AUSAT (university's own test) | BBA, B.Com, UG Liberal Arts, B.Des, BA, B.Sc, and law/business dual programmes | Own test score, academic record, extracurricular record |
| CAT / XAT / GMAT / NMAT / MAT / KMAT / CMAT / AMAT | MBA | National test score or AMAT, plus presentation, essay, and interview |
| CLAT / LSAT-India / AUSAT | B.A. LLB, BBA LLB | National law test score or AUSAT, plus personal interview |
Whether Alliance accepts JEE Main, KCET, or COMEDK scores for its B.Tech programme is not stated on the university's own B.Tech admission page; Alliance does appear in COMEDK's participating-institution listing under its earlier engineering-college name, but this page does not assert a specific national admission route for B.Tech given the lack of a direct official statement.
Application tracks for the 2026-27 cycle are open for Undergraduate, AU-QUASAR, Postgraduate, Doctoral, Post-Doctoral Fellowship, and Diploma programmes, including the MBA July 2026 intake, through the university's own online application portal. No specific application deadlines, AMAT or AUSAT test dates, or programme-wise intake numbers are published on the university's site as of this writing, and this page does not state a specific 2026 date given that gap. The university-wide selection process is described as a full-day evaluation combining entrance exam or national test performance, academic record, and extracurricular involvement, with same-day outcomes for some tracks.
