Admission for half of these is based on the national level test such as Joint Entrance Test (JEE), Common Law Admission Test (CLAT), Common Admission Test(cat), National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test (NEET), National Aptitude Test In Architecture (NATA).

For this, they are following the same, for the course for which they provide the Common Entrance Test (CET), they are exploring that like other universities, to do these entrance exams on the basis of qualification marks.
