Ans. Goa University held GU-CLAT-I on 22 April 2026 as a 100-question multiple-choice test. Merit gives equal weight to the test score and Class 12 marks, and the Directorate of Higher Education, Goa allots the seats.

Ans. It depends on the stream. BITS Goa holds the highest CD Score on this page at 913 out of 1000, with IIT Goa on 859 and NIT Goa on 819. GIM Goa leads management on 696 and ranks 43rd in NIRF Management 2025, GMC Goa leads medical on 770, and VMSCL Panaji leads law on 342.

Ans. The CD Score is Collegedunia's rating of a college out of 1000, made up of an academic score and a placement score. The academic score draws on state or all-India entrance exam cutoffs, student reviews, NAAC grades, and agency rankings. The placement score draws on the average package, the median package, and the number of students placed.

Ans. Collegedunia lists 63 colleges in Goa, including 37 private and 23 government colleges. By stream the largest counts are 26 arts, 24 science, 23 management, 19 commerce, and 16 engineering colleges.

By degree, Collegedunia lists 8 MBA and PGDM colleges, 10 BE and B.Tech colleges, 4 BA LLB colleges, and 2 MBBS listings in Goa.

Ans. IIT Goa leads at 113.63% for its B.Tech, the highest on this page, from a 12.67 LPA median against an 11.15 Lakh fee. NIT Goa follows at 93.64%.

ROI here is the median package as a percentage of the total course fee, worked out for the B.Tech, where four colleges publish both a median and a fee.

Ans. Each stream has its own route. GIM Goa admits on CAT, XAT, and GMAT, Goa University's MBA on CMAT or ATMA, and IITTM Goa on its own IIAT or national scores. Engineering runs on JEE Advanced at IIT Goa, BITSAT at BITS Goa, and JEE Main at NIT Goa and through DTE Goa.

Law runs on GU-CLAT-I at VMSCL Panaji and GRKCL Margao and on CLAT UG at IIULER Goa, and MBBS on NEET UG alone.

Ans. Fees vary widely by stream. The MBA runs from 84.58 K at Dempo College Panaji to 23.98 Lakh at GIM Goa, and engineering from 3.08 Lakh at Goa University to 30.50 Lakh at WPU Goa.

The BA LLB runs from 82.10 K at GRKCL Margao to 29.89 Lakh at IIULER Goa, and GMC Goa charges 8.47 Lakh for the MBBS.

Ans. GIM Goa records the highest median on this page at 14.64 LPA for its PGDM, followed by IIT Goa at 12.67 LPA and NIT Goa at 8.10 LPA for the B.Tech.

Ans. Each package comes from the college's NIRF 2026 Data Capturing System filing for the 2024-25 graduating batch, published on its own site, for GIM Goa, IIT Goa, NIT Goa, GEC Goa, PCCE Goa, and SRIEIT Goa.

Where no programme-specific figure exists, the cell carries a dash and the college is left out of the return-on-investment ordering. This covers BITS Goa, whose figures sit in the Pilani filing, Goa University, whose filings mix programmes, and the new Goa campuses of Parul University, Ganpat University, and WPU.

Ans. Not for MBBS, law, or the national institutes. Every MBBS seat is filled from the NEET UG merit list, the BA LLB colleges use GU-CLAT-I or CLAT UG, and IIT Goa, NIT Goa, and BITS Goa admit only on their entrance exams. GIM Goa, Goa University, and IITTM Goa also need a test score for the MBA.

Parul University Goa is the exception: its eligibility table lists no entrance test for the B.Tech, which admits on Class 12 marks, though it also accepts PUCET and national scores.
