Questions
Asked a lot.
Can I apply to more than one programme?+
Yes. One application covers up to three programmes, ranked in order of preference.
Do you accept JEE, CUET, CAT, CLAT and NATA scores?+
Yes. You can apply with a national score instead of the AAKAAR entrance test, except for design programmes, which need the ADAT studio round.
When are scholarship decisions made?+
Together with your offer letter. You don't need a separate application for merit or Maker's Grant scholarships. Need-based aid needs income documents.
Is hostel accommodation guaranteed?+
Yes, for all first-year students who confirm by 30 June. Hostel and mess fees are separate from tuition.
Can I pay fees in instalments?+
Yes. Tuition can be paid in two instalments a year, and we work with partner banks for education loans.
Is there a refund if I change my mind?+
The seat deposit is refundable in full until 30 June. After that, refunds follow the UGC refund policy.
Do international students apply differently?+
International and NRI applicants apply through the same form and can submit SAT, A-level or IB scores. Write to us for the visa letter.
