The 2027 application, Indus-MAT, Indus-DAT and ACPC schedules are not announced. The current admission cycle is 2026–27. Engineering, MBA, MCA, architecture and design use different selection processes.
For engineering through ACPC, the prescribed Class 12 subjects require 45% marks, or 40% for reserved categories. The 2026 Gujarat merit calculation combines 50% board theory-subject percentile and 50% GUJCET subject percentile. JEE Main and institute admissions follow their own permitted seat categories.
The MBA and MCA ACPC route requires CMAT for the 2026–27 cycle. The university’s institutional MBA route also describes CAT, MAT, CMAT and Indus-MAT or institutional assessment. A test accepted for institutional selection does not replace CMAT in the ACPC route.
2026 counselling dates and 2027 application status
ACPC engineering registration for 2026 closed on 31 May. The provisional merit list was scheduled for 12 June, mock choices for 12–15 June and the final merit list for 17 June. Round 1 allotment was scheduled for 25 June, followed by token tuition payment from 25–30 June.
The later engineering allotments were scheduled for 15 July and 25 July 2026, with institute reporting and remaining-fee payment on 28 July. MBA/MCA registration had a separate 25 May–30 June 2026 window. None of these dates establishes a 2027 deadline.

Applying through ACPC or the institutional route
- Choose the degree and identify whether the seat is offered through ACPC or institutional selection.
- For ACPC, register for the correct course group, pay its registration charge and upload the required academic and eligibility documents.
- Complete verification, review the merit position and submit course and institute choices.
- After allotment, pay the token tuition by the deadline and complete university reporting and the balance payment.
- For an institutional application, submit the university form and complete the stated test, interview or portfolio stages for that programme.
CSE, Computer Engineering, MBA and B.Des are therefore not covered by one common entrance procedure. The admission category determines which score, merit list and payment process applies.
Choose the course and admission route
Select the exact degree, branch and duration. B.Tech, B.Arch, B.Pharm, MBA and MCA have ACPC routes as well as separately regulated university seats; BCA and design follow their own selection processes.
Register on the correct portal
For a university application, use admissions.indusuni.ac.in. For an ACPC seat, complete the separate ACPC registration and counselling fee payment. Creating one application does not complete the other process.
Enter marks and upload the required documents
Use the same name and exam details shown on your marksheets and scorecard. Enter the qualifying subjects, board or degree, category and relevant entrance result. Upload clear, complete documents.
Complete the test, interview or choice filling
ACPC applicants fill college and branch choices in order of preference. Design applicants complete the design test, portfolio review and interview. MBA institutional applicants follow the assessment and interview stated for their route.
Check the offer and resolve document queries
Read the allotted course, category and fee demand. Answer any document discrepancy in the same registered account. Save the allotment or offer letter before the deadline.
Pay the stated amount and complete reporting
Pay the amount shown in the admission demand or ACPC token-fee instruction, retain the receipt and finish university reporting. Keep academic fees, refundable deposits, hostel charges and counselling/application costs separate.
Engineering, applications and management eligibility
B.Tech CSE requires Class 12 Science with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics, subject to the applicable ACPC marks, category and merit rules. CSE and Computer Engineering remain separate branch choices during counselling.
BCA accepts Science, Commerce or Arts applicants with 45% aggregate, English and at least one of Mathematics, Statistics, Accountancy, Physics or Computer Science; the programme FAQ allows a five-point reserved-category relaxation.
The ACPC MBA route requires a recognised degree of at least three years with 50%, or 45% for SC, ST, SEBC and EWS categories, and CMAT. MCA has route-specific qualifying-degree and Mathematics conditions: the university’s institutional page specifies eligible computing degrees and Mathematics, while ACPC rules allow broader qualifications with required bridge study.

ACPC charges and separate university payments
ACPC engineering registration cost ₹350 in 2026. MBA or MCA registration cost ₹500 for one course, or ₹750 for a combined MBA and MCA application. These are counselling-registration charges.
The Indus direct-application amount is separate and is not established as one universal UG/PG price. The university Ph.D. page lists a ₹2,000 application charge for research entry. After an allotment, token tuition and the remaining academic payment cover the seat’s fee demand rather than another application.
| Route | Published registration payment | Year and scope |
|---|---|---|
| ACPC engineering | ₹350 | 2026–27 · non-refundable |
| ACPC MBA or MCA | ₹500 per course | 2026 counselling |
| ACPC MBA and MCA together | ₹750 | 2026 combined registration |
| Indus Ph.D. application | ₹2,000 | Published doctoral application instructions |
| Direct university application for other courses | Not verified as one common amount | Use the programme’s own offer / form |
Counselling notices and programme documents
The ACPC engineering advertisement, engineering calendar and MBA/MCA notices set out different eligibility, registration and allotment processes. Their 2026–27 academic-year labels are part of the applicable rules.
Indus Design School gives the separate entrance-test, portfolio and interview sequence. Programme syllabi and examination resources serve an academic purpose and do not replace the admission notice for the relevant intake.
