NEW DELHI : Starting the academic year 2025-26, the South Asian University (SAU) has decided to adopt the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) and Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) for admission to its degree and engineering programmes respectively. The university will continue to conduct its own entrance examinations too for admissions.
SAU started its operations in India in the academic year 2010. The university is based in New Delhi and is sponsored by the eight member states of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). It offers postgraduate and doctoral programmes across various disciplines, including economics, computer science, biotechnology, mathematics, sociology, international relations, and law.
Last year, the university introduced BTech in Computer Science programme which is the only undergraduate programme at SAU. Students will be admitted to the BTech programme through the JEE Main 2025 scores.
CUET for Indian students, entrance test for international
"We thought from this year our university could also be part of the CUET pool as it will provide options to larger number of students to choose SAU. However, as students from foreign nations cannnot take CUET we will be conducting our own entrance as well, " a senior university official told Careers360.
The university reserves 40% of the seats for students from SAARC countries, 50% for Indian students and the remaining 10% is for aspirants from other nations.
