Important Information for Candidates about Admissions:

Flexibility of the Undergraduate Programs & Interdisciplinary Studies

At Ahmedabad University, a student-centric model informs the structure of the undergraduate programs. Given this, students are able to major in any of the programs at the faculties of engineering, humanities, or commerce and can select minors from completely unrelated disciplines. An important example of this is the selection of a minor in Heritage Studies by a student majoring in Computer Science.

The School of Engineering and Applied Science offers a major in the following branches of BTech. Aspirants to the following branches are encouraged to apply:

• Computer Science and Engineering
• Electrical and Electronics Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Chemical and Environmental Engineering

For aspiring business students, specialised pathways such as the Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) and a new, highly customised Bachelor of Science in Management (Honours), which focuses on contemporary analytics and entrepreneurship, are available.

Postgraduate and Doctoral Pathways

Applications for both master's and doctoral levels are open simultaneously. The postgraduate division includes master's degrees in management (MBA), economics, finance, technology, and analytics. In this flagship MBA program, the selection combines national test scores (CAT/XAT/GMAT) and a unique profile, which includes a short video statement as a selection criterion.

There are Doctoral (PhD) programs in biological sciences, physics, humanities, social sciences, and engineering for students who wish to pursue research and an academic career. Currently, the university is conducting online open houses, webinars, and regional information sessions for potential applicants to clarify eligibility criteria, financial aid, and major selection. Interested candidates should check the online portal and submit applications before mid-June.
