About Institute of Advanced Research
Gujarat’s capital, Gandhinagar, is designed as a structured, low-density city where public administration blocks transition quietly into research corridors. Lab work is central here. In the institutional sector of this green city, the Institute of Advanced Research functions as a university focused on scientific inquiry and technical education. The curriculum operates with an emphasis on biological sciences, a focus driven by its association with the Puri Foundation for Education in India.

Admissions Overview
Admission to undergraduate and postgraduate programs depends on a merit list prepared using qualifying examination scores. For engineering courses, ACPC guidelines govern the distribution of seats, while direct applicants are ranked according to their 10+2 aggregate marks. The university publishes these cutoff ranks online for each round of allocation.
Once your name appears on the published merit list, secure the position by presenting original certificates for verification at the Gandhinagar campus. The final step involves paying the semester fee within the deadline specified in the allotment letter, failing which the seat goes to the next applicant on the waiting list.
