PDUSU Admission Process

Applications are handled through the university’s online portal at shekhauni.ac.in. The selection method changes by course: some programmes use qualifying-examination marks, while others consider CUET, PTET, CLAT PG or research entrance scores.

UG Admission for BA, B.Sc and B.Com

Class 12 aggregate marks determine merit admission to BA, B.Sc and B.Com. Applicants must have completed 10+2 through a recognised board. Most subjects accept students from any stream, but B.Sc normally requires PCM or PCB according to the chosen specialisation. Supported programmes also allow applicants to use CUET UG scores.

Professional UG Admission for BCA, BBA, BJMC and B.Ed

Students applying for BCA or BBA need a recognised 10+2 qualification, and Mathematics is compulsory for BCA. Selection may be through merit or CUET UG. BJMC admission uses Class 12 marks. For B.Ed and integrated B.Ed courses, applicants must qualify through the Pre-Teacher Education Test conducted by the Government of Rajasthan.

PG Admission for MA, M.Sc, M.Com, MBA and MCA

Graduation marks in the relevant subject are used for MA, M.Com and most M.Sc admissions. Depending on the year’s intake, MBA and MCA selection may be based on CUET PG or direct merit. These programmes generally require at least 50% in graduation. LLM applicants are considered through LLB marks or CLAT PG scores.

PhD Admission

A PhD applicant needs a postgraduate degree with at least 55% aggregate. The minimum is 50% for SC and ST applicants. A valid UGC-NET, CSIR-NET or Rajasthan Pre-Entrance Test score is also required. PDUSU releases PhD notices twice each year, and shortlisted applicants attend a research aptitude interview on campus.

PDUSU Scholarships

Students at PDUSU may apply for state and central government scholarships. Depending on the scheme and the applicant’s eligibility, support may pay the full tuition fee, provide a maintenance allowance or offer a fixed annual or monthly amount.

Applications for National Scholarship Portal and Rajasthan government schemes usually open between October and November each year and finish by January. State scholarship forms are submitted through the Rajasthan government’s SSO, or Single Sign-On, portal.

PDUSU Campus and Infrastructure

The permanent PDUSU campus stands on State Highway 8 at Katrathal village, 15 km from Sikar city. It became operational in 2021 after the university had worked from temporary premises in Sikar during its early years. Spread over 61 acres, the campus contains 14 PG teaching departments, a central library, an auditorium, a cafeteria and a sports complex.

PDUSU combines direct teaching with responsibility for more than 75 affiliated undergraduate colleges in Sikar, Jhunjhunu and Churu. Affiliated-college students study the university syllabus and take PDUSU examinations, while direct teaching at the main campus is limited to postgraduate students and research scholars.

Hostel facilities are under development at the permanent campus. Sikar has road and rail connections with Delhi and Jaipur, which is 110 km away, giving students access from Rajasthan and the NCR region.

PDUSU vs MDSU Ajmer vs University of Rajasthan

Students considering a state-university affiliation or postgraduate course in northern Rajasthan may compare PDUSU with Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati University in Ajmer and the University of Rajasthan in Jaipur. The institutions differ in age, location, accreditation, fees and the areas they serve.

With its A+ NAAC grade and broadest range of programmes, the University of Rajasthan has the strongest research position among the three. MDSU is a medium-sized state university known for its arts and science faculties. PDUSU is the newest institution in the comparison and serves a separate part of northern Rajasthan. Its location makes it the nearest state-university choice for many Shekhawati students, while its fees remain comparable with the other two Rajasthan universities.
