Thousands of students apply every year. Due to limited seats, selection is done on the basis of the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE Main) rank. A few seats are reserved for Non-Residential Indians (NRIs) and Foreign Nationals (FNs), who are admitted through the Direct Admission of Foreign Student (DAFS) channel.
