Harcourt Butler Technical University, Kanpur Admission Process

HBTU Kanpur offers admission to most of the programmes based on entrance exam scores of the candidates. The university accepts scores in NIMCET, CUET, CAT, GATE, CUET-PG, etc. for admission to specific programmes. Aspirants also need to pass the GDPI round for MBA admission. Hence, direct admission is usually not possible at HBTU Kanpur.

Indeed, HBTU accepts applicants for its BBA programme without a CUET score. Only if there are still seats available after applicants with a CUET score have been assigned seats does this option become available. The Non-CUET candidates have to further take an entrance examination conducted by the university. Additionally, it is, however, necessary that the aspirant fulfil the minimum eligibility requirements.
