Many universities run their own entrance test alongside or instead of the national examinations — deemed and private universities in particular. Formats, syllabi and calendars differ from one institution to the next, so the university's own admission page is the authority on dates and eligibility.
Set by each university and each programme. Undergraduate programmes generally require 10+2; postgraduate programmes a relevant bachelor's degree.
Usually a single aptitude or subject paper, sometimes followed by an interview or portfolio review for design, architecture and management programmes.
These are the usual months, not this year's dates. Always confirm on the official notification.
