GLAET 2027, the GLA University Entrance Test, is conducted by GLA University, Mathura for admission to undergraduate, postgraduate, and diploma programs including B.Tech, MBA, MCA, BCA, B.Pharm, and more. The exam runs in online Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode through a flexible slot-booking window — typically from April to July each year — so you can choose your own exam date and centre. As of today, the GLAET 2027 cycle has not officially started; registration is expected to open in January 2027, following the same pattern as 2026.
- Registration: GLAET 2027 registration is expected to open around January 1, 2027. In 2026, the window opened on January 1 and stayed open through July 2026 — a window of over six months.
- Exam Window: The GLAET 2027 exam is expected to run from April to July 2027 in online CBT mode. After applying, you book your preferred date, shift, and exam centre through slot booking in the candidate portal.
- Admit Card: The GLAET 2027 admit card will be available for download immediately after you complete slot booking at gla.ac.in. In 2026, candidates could print their hall ticket right after booking — no separate wait for a release date.
- Result & Counselling: The GLAET 2027 result is expected in early July 2027, with merit list and counselling following in the second and third weeks of July. In 2026, the result was declared on July 2, with seat allotment completing in the third week of July 2026.
What is GLAET 2027?
GLAET stands for GLA University Entrance Test, also known as the Ganeshi Lal Agarwal University Entrance Test. It is a university-level entrance examination conducted by GLA University, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh. GLA University holds this exam every year to select candidates for undergraduate, postgraduate, lateral entry, and diploma programs.
The exam covers a wide range of programs — from B.Tech in Computer Science, Electronics, and Mechanical Engineering to MBA, MCA, BCA, BBA, B.Pharm, D.Pharm, M.Tech, and B.Ed. This makes GLAET one of the more versatile university entrance tests in North India, covering engineering, management, pharmacy, and education programs under a single umbrella.
GLAET is held in online Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode. Unlike national-level exams such as JEE Main or NEET that have fixed exam dates, GLAET runs a slot-booking model. You register, book a slot on your preferred date and at your preferred centre within a defined exam window (typically April to July), and appear on that day. This flexibility is one of GLAET’s biggest practical advantages for candidates.
GLA University also accepts JEE Main scores for B.Tech admissions and CAT, MAT, or CMAT scores for MBA admissions. If you have already sat JEE Main or CAT, you do not need to take GLAET separately — GLA University picks whichever score (GLAET or national exam) is higher when building the merit list.
GLA University, Mathura is accredited by NAAC with an A+ grade and ranked in the 101–150 band in NIRF 2025 among Indian universities. The university also has a Noida campus in Greater Noida. More than 20,000 students are enrolled across its programs, and the campus sees consistent placement activity from more than 550 national and multinational companies each year.

GLAET 2027 Slot Booking
Slot booking is a step unique to GLAET and is done as part of the application process itself. Unlike most entrance exams with a single fixed date for all candidates, GLAET lets you choose when you appear. This is the slot-booking step that makes it possible.
Once you pay the application fee, the ’Book Now’ button activates in your candidate portal. You then choose your preferred:
- Exam date — from available dates in the April–July 2027 window
- Exam shift — morning or afternoon, where both are available at your chosen centre
- Exam centre city and specific centre location
What You Should Know About Slot Booking
- Slots are available on a first-come, first-served basis — once a slot fills up, you cannot select it
- After confirming your slot, the admit card becomes available for download immediately from the same portal
- Appearing earlier in the April–July window means your result comes in sooner, giving you more time to plan counselling
- The slot booking window is expected to remain open from January to June/July 2027, closing when registration closes
- GLA University does not send the admit card by email or post — you must download it from gla.ac.in after slot booking
You should register and book a slot early in January 2027 to secure a date in April or May, which gives you maximum lead time before the July counselling season.
GLAET 2027 Exam Pattern
The GLAET 2027 exam pattern is expected to remain the same as the 2026 pattern. The entire exam is objective — all questions are Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) with four options and one correct answer. There is negative marking, so random guessing will hurt your score.
GLAET B.Tech Exam Pattern 2027
The B.Tech paper has four sections: Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and English. Mathematics carries the highest weightage — 45 questions worth 180 marks, which is 50% of the total B.Tech score. This makes Mathematics the most important section for B.Tech aspirants.
| Section | Number of Questions | Maximum Marks |
|---|---|---|
| Mathematics | 45 | 180 |
| Physics | ~20 | ~80 |
| Chemistry | ~15 | ~60 |
| English | ~10 | ~40 |
| Total | 90 | 360 |
Note: The confirmed figure from official sources is Mathematics — 45 questions, 50% weightage (180 marks). The exact question count for Physics, Chemistry, and English is based on the overall 90-question total; check the official GLAET 2027 notification at gla.ac.in for the final section-wise breakup.
GLAET MBA Exam Pattern 2027
The MBA paper is shorter at 75 questions in 90 minutes. It covers verbal ability, quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, and general awareness.
| Section | No. of Questions (Approx.) | Maximum Marks (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension | ~20 | ~80 |
| Quantitative Aptitude | ~20 | ~80 |
| Logical Reasoning | ~20 | ~80 |
| General Awareness | ~15 | ~60 |
| Total | 75 | 300 |
GLAET 2027 Marking Scheme
| Answer Type | Marks |
|---|---|
| Correct Answer | +4 |
| Wrong Answer | −1 (negative marking) |
| Unattempted Question | 0 |
There is negative marking of 1 mark for every wrong answer. Avoid guessing randomly. If you are not sure about an answer, leave it unattempted — that way you lose nothing rather than losing a mark.

GLAET 2027 Merit List
After the exam window closes (expected July 2027), GLA University publishes a final program-wise merit list at gla.ac.in. The merit list ranks candidates based on their GLAET score or national exam score — whichever is higher. This means:
- For B.Tech: your GLAET score and JEE Main 2027 score are both considered; the higher one determines your merit rank
- For MBA: your GLAET score and CAT / MAT / CMAT score are both considered; the higher one counts
GLA University does not publish a fixed qualifying cutoff. All candidates who appear for GLAET are eligible to participate in counselling, with seat allotment based on merit rank within total available seats.
GLAET 2027 Counselling and Seat Allotment
The GLAET 2027 counselling process is expected to begin in the second week of July 2027, soon after the merit list is published. In 2026, seat allotment completed in the third week of July, with the Freeze/Float deadline on July 13 and document verification on July 14. The full process is conducted online through the GLA University candidate portal.
GLAET 2027 Counselling Process — Step by Step
- Step 1 — Merit List Published: GLA University publishes the final program-wise merit list at gla.ac.in after the exam window closes
- Step 2 — Counselling Registration: Eligible candidates log in and register for counselling using their GLAET credentials
- Step 3 — Choice Filling: Fill in preferred programs and branches in order of preference — your first choice is filled first if your rank qualifies
- Step 4 — Seat Allotment: Seats are allotted based on merit rank and filled choices. GLA University has more than 5,000 seats across all programs
- Step 5 — Freeze or Float Decision: After first allotment, choose to Freeze (accept current seat) or Float (wait for a potentially better seat in the next round based on vacancies). In 2026, the deadline was July 13
- Step 6 — Counselling Fee Payment: Pay the counselling fee and seat security deposit by the deadline to hold your allotment. Missing the deadline means losing the seat
- Step 7 — Document Verification: Submit documents online or in person to verify eligibility for the allotted program. In 2026, document verification was July 14
- Step 8 — Admission Confirmation: Pay the remaining first-year fee and complete all formalities to secure admission
Documents Required for GLAET 2027 Counselling
- Class 10 mark sheet and passing certificate
- Class 12 mark sheet and passing certificate (or provisional if results pending)
- Transfer certificate (TC) from the last institution attended
- Character certificate from the last institution
- 4 recent passport-size photographs
- Valid government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar, PAN, Passport, or Voter ID
- Migration certificate if you are from a board outside Uttar Pradesh
- GLAET 2027 scorecard printout
- Category certificate if applicable (for 5% marks relaxation for SC/ST)
Keep all documents ready well before counselling starts in July 2027. Missing or incorrect documents can delay or cancel your seat allotment.
GLA University is a private university and does not follow state-mandated reservation quotas for SC/ST/OBC categories in admission. SC/ST candidates do receive a 5% relaxation in minimum qualifying marks for eligibility across most programs.
GLAET 2027 Cutoff
GLA University does not publish a fixed qualifying cutoff score for GLAET. There is no minimum score to achieve to become eligible for counselling — all candidates who appear are included in the merit list. The practical admission cutoff depends on how many candidates applied, their score distribution, and the total seats available in each program and branch.
How the Effective Cutoff Works
Because admission is merit-based and seats fill from the top of the merit list downward, the effective cutoff is the score of the last candidate who receives a seat. This shifts every year with demand. Here is how it plays out across programs:
- B.Tech CSE and AI/ML: The most sought-after branches — highest effective cutoff among all B.Tech options
- B.Tech ECE and IT: Moderate competition — effective cutoff lower than CSE but higher than core branches
- B.Tech Mechanical, Civil: Lower competition, resulting in a lower effective cutoff
- MBA: Effective cutoff shaped by CAT/MAT/CMAT scores entering the same merit pool
How to Maximise Your GLAET 2027 Score
Since admission is purely by merit, your goal is to score as high as possible — especially in Mathematics for B.Tech, which contributes 180 out of 360 total marks. A candidate who scores 160+ in Mathematics and performs reasonably in Physics, Chemistry, and English will be competitive for most B.Tech branches, including CSE.
If you have a JEE Main score (B.Tech) or a CAT/MAT score (MBA), that score enters the same merit pool. A strong national exam score can lift your rank even if your GLAET score is moderate — making it worth appearing for both.

GLAET 2027 Preparation Tips
With registration expected in January 2027 and the exam window from April to July, you have around six months from registration to your exam date. Here is how to use that time well.
For B.Tech Aspirants
- Mathematics is worth 50% — start here: With 45 questions contributing 180 of the total 360 marks, Mathematics is the single highest-leverage section in GLAET B.Tech. Focus on Coordinate Geometry, Calculus, Algebra, and Trigonometry. A strong score in Mathematics can compensate for a moderate performance in the other three sections.
- NCERT is your base for Physics and Chemistry: GLAET follows the CBSE Class 11 and 12 curriculum closely. Revise both NCERT textbooks thoroughly before moving to extra problem sets. Most GLAET questions on Physics and Chemistry can be answered directly from NCERT understanding.
- English is quick marks: The English section has the fewest questions but is easy to score in if you prepare the basics. Focus on synonym and antonym vocabulary lists, subject-verb agreement, tenses, and practice reading comprehension passages for about 20–30 minutes a day.
- Practise in CBT format: Since GLAET is a Computer-Based Test, practise on screen. Time yourself strictly at 120 minutes. Being comfortable with digital reading and navigation matters more than candidates usually expect.
- Negative marking discipline: With −1 for wrong answers, aim to attempt 70–75 questions with high accuracy rather than attempting all 90 with many guesses. Targeted, confident attempts score better than rushed, speculative ones.
For MBA Aspirants
- Daily newspaper reading builds GK: Read The Hindu, Economic Times, or Business Standard for 30 minutes daily. Focus on Indian economy, government policy, business news, and sports events from the last six months before your exam date.
- Arithmetic is the core of Quant: For a university-level MBA paper, basic arithmetic topics — percentages, profit-loss, time-work, time-speed-distance, and interest calculations — carry the most questions. Get these right before tackling more complex topics.
- Solve puzzles daily for Reasoning: Seating arrangement puzzles and syllogisms are highly scorable once you develop a systematic approach. Spend 20–30 minutes on Logical Reasoning puzzles every day from January 2027.
- Leverage your CAT/MAT preparation: GLA University will use your CAT, MAT, or CMAT score if it is higher than your GLAET score. Preparing for these exams simultaneously means GLAET preparation requires minimal additional effort.
General Tips for All Candidates
- Register as early as possible in January 2027 to book a preferred slot in April or May. Appearing early means your result comes faster and you can plan counselling with more lead time.
- Keep your Class 12 documents and scanned photographs ready so registration is quick and smooth the moment the portal opens.
- If you are appearing for JEE Main 2027 (for B.Tech), your JEE preparation and GLAET preparation overlap almost completely — do both together.
- Check gla.ac.in regularly from January 2027 for official updates on the notification, revised syllabus, and exam centres for GLAET 2027.

Ans. GLAET 2027 registration is expected to open around January 1, 2027, based on the 2026 pattern (which opened on January 1, 2026 and stayed open through July). The official notification has not been released as of September 2026. Keep checking gla.ac.in for the official announcement.
Ques. What is the GLAET 2027 application fee?
Ans. The GLAET 2027 application fee is Rs 700 for most programs including B.Tech, MBA, MCA, BCA, and BBA. For D.Pharm, B.Ed., and Diploma programs, the fee is Rs 500. Payment can be made online (credit card, debit card, net banking) or offline (demand draft, cash at the university campus). The fee is non-refundable.
Ques. What is the eligibility for GLAET 2027 B.Tech?
Ans. For B.Tech through GLAET 2027, you must have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM) from a recognized board. The minimum required score is 60% in PCM. SC/ST candidates need a minimum of 50% in PCM. There is no upper age limit. Candidates with a valid JEE Main 2027 score can also apply — GLA University uses the higher of your GLAET and JEE Main scores for merit ranking.
Ques. Is there negative marking in GLAET 2027?
Ans. Yes, GLAET 2027 has negative marking. Each correct answer gives +4 marks. Each wrong answer deducts 1 mark (−1). Questions left unattempted carry 0 marks. Avoid random guessing — if you are not confident about an answer, it is safer to skip it.
Ques. Can I use my JEE Main score for GLA University B.Tech admission instead of GLAET?
Ans. Yes. GLA University accepts JEE Main scores for B.Tech admissions. If you have a valid JEE Main 2027 score, you can use it instead of GLAET — the university considers the higher of the two scores for merit list ranking. You still need to register on gla.ac.in to apply for admission. For MBA, CAT, MAT, and CMAT scores are similarly accepted in place of or alongside GLAET.
Ques. What is the total duration and number of questions in GLAET 2027?
Ans. The GLAET 2027 B.Tech exam has 90 questions for 360 marks in 120 minutes (2 hours). Mathematics alone accounts for 45 questions and 180 marks — exactly 50% of the paper. The MBA exam has 75 questions for 300 marks in 90 minutes. Both exams are in online CBT mode with MCQ questions and negative marking (−1 per wrong answer).
Ques. How do I download the GLAET 2027 admit card?
Ans. The GLAET 2027 admit card becomes available immediately after slot booking. Log in to your account at gla.ac.in, go to ’My Applications’, and click ’Download Admit Card’. GLA University does not send the admit card by email or post. Carry a printed copy along with a valid original photo ID on exam day — photocopies of the ID are not accepted.
Ques. What is the GLAET 2027 cutoff?
Ans. GLA University does not publish a fixed minimum qualifying cutoff for GLAET. Admission is entirely merit-based — seats are filled from the top of the merit list downward. The practical cutoff (score of the last admitted candidate) varies by program and branch each year. B.Tech CSE has the highest effective cutoff among all branches due to higher demand; core engineering branches like Mechanical and Civil have lower effective cutoffs.
Ques. What documents do I need for GLAET 2027 counselling?
Ans. For GLAET 2027 counselling, you will need: Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates, transfer certificate, character certificate, 4 passport-size photographs, a government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport), migration certificate if from outside Uttar Pradesh, your GLAET 2027 scorecard, and a category certificate if applicable. Keep these ready before counselling begins in July 2027.
Ques. How does GLAET slot booking work?
Ans. GLAET slot booking is done as part of the application process itself. After you submit the form and pay the fee, the ’Book Now’ option activates in your candidate portal at gla.ac.in. You select your preferred exam date (from the April–July 2027 window), shift (morning or afternoon), and exam centre city. Slots are available first-come, first-served — registering early in January 2027 gives you the best choice of dates and centres.

No, as of now, GLA University, Mathura, does not offer direct admission for BA L.L.B under its general quota. Admission to BA?LLB at GLA is entrance-based: applicants must take the GLAET (or a recognized equivalent) and meet eligibility criteria.
The registration schedule for the GLAET entrance test has not been released for 2023 session but you can expect it to be out very soon. The fee for the registration form is INR 700 for some of the courses and for the rest it is INR 500.
