Admissions to these programs will be conducted through two primary modes: JEE (Advanced) 2025, and Combined Admission Entrance Test (CAET) 2025. One-third of the total seats are allocated through JEE (Advanced) 2025 and two-thirds of seats are allocated through CAET 2025.
What is the Combined Admission Entrance Test (CAET) 2025?
The CAET 2025, a key component of the admission process, will be held in two sessions: Session 1 on February 16, 2025, and Session 2 on April 13, 2025. This dual-session format provides candidates with two opportunities to showcase their abilities, with the higher score from the two sessions being considered for the final selection process.
CAET 2025 will be a 3-hour pen and paper-based test, conducted in English, comprising 60 questions equally distributed among Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.
Test centers for CAET 2025 will be located in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah in the UAE, as well as in New Delhi in India. Additional venues may be made available in different cities and countries for Session 2, depending on received applications.
The CAET 2025 seats are open to UAE nationals, as well as international students (including Indian expatriates who have completed their high school and five previous years of education in the UAE).

Applicants have the flexibility to apply for either one session or both sessions, with the higher score being considered for those appearing in both.
A portion of the seats will be allocated to the top performers in CAET Session 1, as “early admission”. The final seat allocation will be made on the basis of the combined merit list and the candidates’ preference of disciplines, after the Session 2 examination.
