GGSIPU Admission 2026

Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (IP University)

The university offers two primary pathways for admission: the Common Entrance Test (IPU CET) conducted by the university itself, and National Level Tests (like JEE Main, NEET, CLAT, etc.). For many UG courses, IPU gives preference to its own CET scores; CUET scores are typically used only for filling "leftover" seats.

Pro-Tip for 2026: Since the deadline is March 31, do not wait until the last minute. The portal often experiences high traffic in the final 48 hours. Also, if you are applying for B.Tech via JEE Main, you still need to register on the IPU portal to participate in the counseling.
