School of Technology, Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gandhinagar: Admission 2025, Courses, Fees, Cutoff, Placements, Ranking

A state-of-the-art, comprehensive, and merit-based admission procedure is offered with all its varied programmes in engineering and technology under the School of Technology at Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU) in Gandhinagar, Gujarat. The modern facilities offered for its undergraduate and postgraduate courses also pursue an admission procedure for selecting the most meritorious and deserving candidates from India and the world. Usually, PDEU initiates its admission cycle between April and ends with July. Undergraduate programs admit applicants who qualify using JEE Main scores for All India and NRI seats, while government seats use GUJCET scores. The predominant postgraduate admissions are conducted through GATE.

To be eligible for undergraduate programs, the candidate must have had a higher secondary (10+2) education with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics as compulsory subjects. A few courses further specify that the candidate must obtain a minimum of 50% (aggregate) marks in the qualifying examination. Most postgraduates require a bachelor's degree in the relevant discipline from an Indian university or equivalent, usually with 55-60% marks or an equivalent CGPA. Some programs such as the admissions for Ph.D. have a written aptitude test and personal interview conducted by PDEU. Moreover, PDEU considers scores from some other national-level entrance exams like JEE Main, GATE, or GUJCET depending on course/program and category of seats.
