B.Tech Engineering

  • Applicants need Class 12 with PCM and an aggregate of at least 45%.
  • Selection routes include JEE Main, the Rajasthan Pre-Engineering Test (RPET), REAP counselling and the Poornima Admission Test (PAT).
  • JEE Main percentile can qualify students for merit scholarships covering up to 40% of tuition fees.
  • To complete admission, submit the online form, scorecard and supporting documents, then pay the semester fee after receiving the admission letter.

B.Arch and B.Des

  • For B.Arch, students need at least 50% in Class 12 with PCM or PCB, along with a valid NATA score or JEE Main Paper 2 score.
  • B.Des applicants may come from any Class 12 stream. Selection can use a valid NATA score or a portfolio review.
  • A NATA score of 120 or more qualifies applicants for a merit award.

BBA, B.Com and BCA

Class 12 results form the main basis for admission to these courses. Specialised streams may also use the Poornima Aptitude Test (PAT), so there is no single entrance examination for the whole group. BBA and BA accept students from Arts, Science and Commerce. BCA applicants must have studied Mathematics in Class 12; the B.Com course requirement is Class 12 in Commerce.

MBA

A graduate from any discipline can apply with at least 50% marks. PU considers CAT, MAT, CMAT and the Rajasthan Management Aptitude Test (RMAT). Applicants without a valid score in these tests may take the Poornima Management Aptitude Test (PMAT). Each year's MBA programme begins in July.

The MBA in International Finance with ACCA combines two qualifications. Students study for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) programme alongside their MBA, preparing them for global finance roles after graduation.

M.Tech

Applicants must hold a B.Tech or B.E. in the relevant branch with at least 50%. GATE-qualified students receive preference and can access merit scholarships. Those applying without GATE may take PU's M.Tech entrance examination.

B.Tech Lateral Entry

An Engineering diploma allows students to enter the second year of B.Tech through Rajasthan's Lateral Entry scheme. Available branches include CSE, AI and Data Science, Cloud Technology, Cyber Security, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering. For the remaining three years, total fees range from INR 3,30,000 to INR 5,70,000. Selection takes place through REAP Lateral Entry counselling or a university test.

Poornima University Placements

The placement cell brings more than 350 companies to campus each year for jobs and internships. In the latest B.Tech placement cycle, 83 of 112 eligible students secured jobs. Salary figures are expressed in LPA, meaning lakh rupees per year.

Morgan Stanley, Infosys and Byju's are among the campus recruiters. The highest engineering offers go to students in CSE, AI/ML and Cyber Security. MBA graduates find marketing, HR and analytics roles with regional and national employers.

B.Tech and MBA students must complete an industry internship lasting one semester. These internships often lead to job offers before campus placements. Through the Poornima Industry Interface Programme, students also undertake live projects with industry partners before graduation to prepare for recruitment.

For architecture and design graduates, portfolios play a major role in hiring. PU's design industry contacts in Jaipur and Delhi also support these placements.
