You need a science degree with 50% marks and Physics, Chemistry or Maths as a subject. The 50% rule is the same for every category. An Honours degree in Maths gets preference. If you are in the final year, you can still apply and get a provisional seat. You must show your degree within three months of classes starting.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Degree | Graduation in Science with Physics, Chemistry or Maths as a subject |
| Marks | 50% aggregate, same for every category |
| Preference | Honours in Maths |
| Final-year students | Provisional seat, degree proof within three months |
| Entrance | ADBU test and personal interview, no national exam |
You pay the INR 600 form fee online, then sit the test and interview on one day. You pay the admission fee by 5 pm that day and the rest within 7 days. ADBU decides the seat on your marks, the test and the interview. If you miss the 5 pm time, ADBU gives the seat to another student.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Apply online | Register on the ADBU portal, fill the form and pay the INR 600 form fee |
| 2. Test and interview | Attend on the day the Admission Office gives you |
| 3. Pay the admission fee | Pay by 5 pm on the day of admission |
| 4. Pay the balance | Pay the rest of the first semester fee within 7 days |
The cutoff is 50% in graduation for every category, with no relaxed mark. ADBU publishes no closing rank, because there is no national exam for this course. Among students who clear 50%, the test, the interview and an Honours degree in Maths decide who gets the seat.
| Category | Minimum graduation marks | Rule year |
|---|---|---|
| General | 50% | 2026 |
| OBC | 50% | 2026 |
| SC | 50% | 2026 |
| ST | 50% | 2026 |
