CUET Score Accepted as Secondary Channel for B.Tech Admissions (Code 131)

Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) has announced that CUET scores will be used as a secondary channel for admission to the B.Tech programme (Code 131) from the academic session 2025–26 onwards.

Earlier, admissions were mainly based on the JEE Main merit list. Now, after all seats are filled through JEE Main merit, the remaining seats will be offered based on the merit/score of the Common University Entrance Test (CUET).

Students who want to take admission in B.Tech programmes at GGSIPU are therefore advised to also apply for and appear in the CUET exam. Details about the required subjects and other admission information are available in the UG Admission Brochure 2026–27 on the university website.
