MLSU Udaipur Admission Process

UG Programmes (BA, B.Sc, B.Com, BCA, BBA)

For UG courses in the constituent departments, MLSU gives admission mainly through Class 12 marks. BA, B.Sc, B.Com, and BCA applicants do not need a national entrance test. Students apply through the MLSU online portal.

  • Eligibility: Class 12 pass from any recognised board in the relevant stream
  • Minimum marks: 45% for General category and 40% for reserved categories
  • SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwD reservation is followed as per Rajasthan government rules
  • Rajasthan domicile preference is used for state category seats

B.Tech and B.Arch

B.Tech seats are filled through JEE Main scores and REAP, which is the Rajasthan Engineering Admission Process. For B.Arch, students need a valid NATA score or JEE Paper 2 score. The MLSU B.Tech CSE closing rank through REAP is usually in the 30,000 to 1,00,000 range for the General category.

MBA

For MBA admission, applicants need a valid CAT, MAT, CMAT, or RMAT score. A bachelor degree in any stream with at least 50% aggregate is required. The Management Faculty shortlists students by score and then conducts group discussion and personal interview rounds.

Law (BA.LLB and LLB)

MLSU admits students to the 5-year BA.LLB and 3-year LLB through CLAT scores or a university-level law entrance test. BA.LLB applicants must have passed Class 12 with at least 45%. For the 3-year LLB, students need a bachelor degree with at least 45%.

MLSU Udaipur Placements

MLSU Udaipur has a placement cell for students from its constituent departments. Recruiters come from areas such as IT services, BFSI, hospitality, legal services, and public sector fields. In the 2025 placement season, 945 UG graduates were placed from a graduating batch of 2,672, making the UG placement rate 35%.

The median package for UG programmes in the 2025 batch was INR 3 LPA. Since many Arts and Science students also prepare for government jobs, civil services, and academic careers, the corporate placement figure does not show every career path. BBA, B.Tech, and MBA students usually receive higher packages.

Note: MLSU placement data covers constituent department placements. Many students choose government jobs, civil services, and academic paths, which are not fully counted in placement statistics. The 35% placement rate and INR 3 LPA median package should be read with this point in mind.
