Students meeting the eligibility criteria can apply for these seats after submitting an application individually to the college. Admission will be granted subject to availability and merit at the discretion of the Management. College might charge application fees for the Institute level seats will be the same as fixed by Shikshan Shulka Saimti for the given year. Candidates who had appeared for CAP rounds, but could not secure admission through earlier merit lists, can apply for Institute Level Seats. Other candidates who had not appeared for CAP may also apply with valid scores of national level test (CAT, XAT, ATMA, MAT, CMAT) along with copies of relevant certificates but this rule changes from college to college.
All applications for Institute Level Seats must be received by the institute on or before the deadline date decided by the college. Applications may be sent through email or courier or submitted in person at the colleges. All candidates applying for Institute Level Seats might have to appear for GD/PI to be held at the college.
