While the entrance exams for all graduate and integrated five-year courses, such as B A Liberal Arts and B Tech Aviation, will be conducted on July 21, those for all post-graduate and integrated PhD courses will be held between July 22 and 24.

The exam will have two sections, A and B. Section A will be of 20 marks, consisting of MCQs based on general knowledge, aptitude and logical reasoning, while Section B, of 80 marks, will contain questions specific to the subject. One-fourth of the allotted marks for each question will be deducted in case of a wrong answer.
