GGSIPU will conduct a Special Entrance Test 2026 for BEd, BA JMC and BEd Special Education programmes for the 2026-27 session. Registrations are open on the official portal at ipu.admissions.nic.in.

GGSIPU SET 2026 Registration Open for BEd, BA JMC, BEd SE

The Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) has announced a Special Entrance Test 2026. The Special Entrance Test (SET) covers three programmes for the 2026-27 session. These are BEd, BA JMC, and BEd Special Education. The notification was issued on September 2, 2026.

Candidates can access the notification at ipu.ac.in. Registration will happen online through ipu.admissions.nic.in. GGSIPU is a Delhi state university that admits most students through the annual IPU CET.

SET is a fresh window for those who missed regular admissions. It targets seats that remain vacant after the main counselling rounds. The move helps fill unoccupied seats in teacher-training and media courses.

Who Should Apply for GGSIPU SET 2026?

SET 2026 is meant for candidates seeking a second chance. It is useful for those who missed the main IPU CET rounds. It also helps applicants who missed the earlier counselling deadlines.

For BA JMC, applicants need to have cleared Class 12. For BEd programmes, a bachelor's degree is the base requirement. BEd Special Education carries a similar academic base as BEd. Candidates must verify the exact eligibility from the official notification.

The programme is open to both fresh and repeat applicants. Reservation rules for Delhi and outside Delhi seats will apply. These are the standard GGSIPU rules laid out in the admission brochure.

How to Register for GGSIPU SET 2026?

The registration process is fully online. Candidates need to complete each step carefully on the admission portal. Documents and payment details must be ready before starting the form.

Follow the steps below to apply for the Special Entrance Test 2026:

  • Visit the official admission portal at ipu.admissions.nic.in.

  • Submit the form and download the confirmation page.

Documents Required for GGSIPU SET 2026

Candidates should keep the required documents ready in advance. Uploading clear scans during the form-filling stage saves time. Poor-quality scans are a common reason for form rejection.

  • A valid photo ID such as Aadhaar or PAN card.

GGSIPU SET 2026 Important Points

The Special Entrance Test is separate from the regular IPU CET. It follows a distinct application and counselling schedule. Seats offered through SET are limited to programmes with vacancies.

Candidates can apply only for the programmes listed in the SET notification. Applications for other GGSIPU courses will not be accepted under this window. All communication regarding SET 2026 will be shared on the official portal.

Why This Matters

Fresh SET rounds are rare at GGSIPU. This gives students a second shot at BEd and BA JMC seats. It also opens rare vacancies in the BEd Special Education programme.

Action Plan for Candidates

  1. Download and read the SET 2026 notification from ipu.ac.in.
  2. Check the eligibility rules for your chosen programme code carefully.
  3. Keep Class 12 and graduation marksheets, ID proof, and photographs ready.
  4. Note the last date of registration and set personal reminders.
  5. Register on ipu.admissions.nic.in and pay the fee on time.
  6. Save the confirmation page and track updates on the official portal.
