IPU Admission 2025: Key Updates for 2025-26 Admissions
On Tuesday, the Vice-Chancellor of IPU, Prof. Dr. Mahesh Verma, released the admission brochure (prospectus) for the upcoming session.
For the first time, the university will introduce new benefits for students, including a reservation for single-girl candidates and the addition of a sports quota. This move is aimed at encouraging more female students to pursue higher education and supporting students who excel in sports.
To further enhance educational opportunities, IPU is introducing several new programs at both the UG and PG levels. These new offerings include a three-year LLB program, MSc in Molecular Diagnostics, MSc in Microbiology, Bachelor of Physiotherapy (BPT), PG programs in Applied Geo-Informatics, and a PG Diploma course in Radiological Physics.
As a result of these new programs, IPU expects to increase the total number of seats by approximately 250. This is a part of the university’s ongoing efforts to expand its academic offerings. Last year, nearly 1,600 new seats were added to various programs.
IPU Admission 2025: Reservations and Quotas
To promote education for women, the university has announced that one seat in each program will be reserved for single-girl candidates. This initiative is aimed at encouraging more girls to pursue higher education, particularly in fields where female participation has been low.
In addition to the single-girl reservation, IPU will also provide admissions through the sports quota, with up to 2% of seats in a specific program allocated to students with outstanding achievements in sports.
IPU Admission 2025: Multiple Admission Pathways
IPU offers several routes for admission to its programs. National-level entrance exams such as JEE Mains, NEET, UG, PG, CAT, CMAT, NIMCET, CLAT (UG-PG), and NATA will be considered for various programs.
In addition, candidates can also gain admission through IPU’s Common Entrance Test (CET), the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) for UG and PG, and merit-based eligibility exams for certain programs.
If seats remain unfilled after the initial rounds of admission, CUET will be used for admissions to 20 undergraduate and 18 postgraduate programs.
CET Schedule: April 26 to May 18
The Common Entrance Test (CET) for IPU will be held between April 26 and May 18, 2025. The university will set up exam centers across various cities, with a center being established in any city where more than 50 applications are received. This ensures a widespread reach, making the exam accessible to candidates from all regions.
IPU Admission 2025: Counseling and Admission Dates
For MBA admissions, candidates will need to take the CAT exam. Similarly, LLB and LLM admissions will be based on the CLAT (UG-PG) results. The online counseling for MBA admissions will begin on May 1, 2025. For other programs, both online and offline counseling will commence on June 2, 2025.
