IP University Adds CUET Scores for BTech Admissions from 2026-27

Admissions to B.Tech programmes at IP University will now also be conducted through CUET scores, with the university assigning them second priority in the admission process. The first preference for B.Tech admissions will continue to be given to National Level Tests, specifically JEE Main Paper One.

The university already considers CUET scores for admission to more than three dozen undergraduate programmes. However, in such cases, priority is accorded either to National Level Tests or to entrance examinations conducted directly by the university.

CUET application deadline extended by NTA

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has announced that the final date for submitting the CUET UG application has been extended to February 26. In light of this extension, IP University has directed students who wish to gain admission into any of the undergraduate courses through CUET scores to ensure that their CUET UG applications are completed within the given timeframe.

The university has enabled the online application system for undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD programmes for the academic year 2026, 27 starting February 2. Candidates seeking admission into various streams can now create accounts through the provided portal.
