This year, admissions to the university will be done through the Central Universities Common Entrance Test (CUCET). Till last year, the admissions were held based on cut-offs for a majority of the undergraduate courses, barring a few, while entrance exams were held for postgraduate courses.

In a notification on January 27, the university said that a committee for admissions of foreign nationals has been formed with immediate effect for the academic session 2022-2023. The panel, consisting of seven members, was formed under the chairmanship of Joint Dean (Foreign Students) Prof Amarjiva Lochan.
