PAU Ludhiana admission is done on the basis of clearance of the preset admission criteria. As admissions to most of the courses are entrance-based, students have to clear the accepted exam. Students are shortlisted based on multiple factors, such as entrance exam scores, past academic performance, and more. For UG, PG, and PhD admissions, students are selected based on entrance exam scores. The university accepts BSET, AAT, ICAR AIEEA, and other national-level entrance exams. Seat allotment is done through university's counselling process. For final confirmation, admission fees need to be paid.

The major concerns about the PAU admissions is the seat intake and the fee. The university has recently increased the seat intake for many courses but still the competition for the available seats is too high. The other concerns include fee. For some courses, the fee can be high. For that, the university provides scholarships to students.
