Admissions are provided by Dravidian University on both merit and entrance examination basis, based on the course. For undergraduate (UG) courses, candidates can be directly admitted based on their marks in 10+2, particularly for courses having vacant seats. For postgraduate (PG) courses, admissions are mostly based on DUCET (Dravidian University Common Entrance Test) or other state/national-level entrance tests.

Dravidian University provides an MBA programme at a low cost structure but has poor placement options when compared with elite business schools. Specializations in Finance, Marketing, and HR are available from the university, and also career development and training schemes.

Dravidian University has good placements in Arts, Science, and Management courses, but it is not very well placed for corporate placements. Most placements are in academia, research, and government organizations than in high-paying private firms. The university has career guidance, training camps, and campus recruitment, but top companies hardly visit.
