Admission to most UG and PG programmes uses IUET, the university's own entrance test, but candidates who already hold a JEE Main, JEE Advanced, UPSEE, CMAT, UPCATET, AMUEEE, or Uni-GAUGE score, among other recognised exams, are exempted from sitting IUET and admitted on that external score instead. MBBS admission follows the national mechanism: NEET-UG score through counselling, with no separate university test.
