Getting In
Admission rests primarily on the university's proprietary ACET (Ajeenkya D Y Patil Common Entrance Test) score, combined with portfolio reviews for design applicants. The university compiles a consolidated merit list based on these evaluations, publishing program-wise cutoff percentages on its official notice boards and portal.
Once the cutoff lists are declared, eligible applicants must verify their original documentation in person to lock in their seat allocations. Failure to submit academic credentials or pay the baseline semester fee within the designated registration window results in the seat automatically transferring to the next candidate on the waiting list.
