BTech Admissions
Our Philosophy
Plaksha University strives to bring together curious
tinkerers and problem-solvers with a natural tendency to ask questions, explore concepts,
and an openness to learning, wired with a risk-taking attitude. At Plaksha University, we
are committed to admitting the brightest minds coming from all walks of life.
A student at Plaksha University will be encouraged to wear multiple hats which will be
facilitated by the interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum. This warrants an incoming
student to demonstrate strong academic rigor along with the ability to communicate their
thoughts and ideas effectively. We understand that these intrinsic qualities cannot be
measured through marks alone and therefore believe in going beyond the mark sheet with our
holistic selection process.

Testimonial
"I chose Plaksha over offers from NYU, Purdue, and UBC. I wanted a place where I could write, publish ideas, work on research, and learn by building things. Plaksha offered exactly that; a chance to create my path instead of following a predefined one."
Tanveer Singh
BTech Class of 2029 | Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence
"I got offers from UBC and University of Toronto with good merit scholarships. But I could never choose between computers and medicine – I really love both. So, when I saw that Plaksha is offering an interdisciplinary engineering degree that mixes both, I jumped at the opportunity."
Anagha Vasista
BTech Class of 2026 | Biological Systems Engineering
"Faculty have the vision to foster innovation as a mindset and as a skill, which is much more important than learning theoretical concepts alone. This is something that truly stands out for Plaksha."
Prerit Rathi
BTech Class of 2026 | Data Science, Economics & Business
"I had offers from UCSD and King's College London. But Plaksha was the only university in India I could see myself at. What drew me in was the Freshmore curriculum which offered the flexibility to explore before locking into a major. Being from the IBDP, I did not want to rush into a fixed path. That space to figure out my interests has been one of the most valuable things about my first year."

Frequently asked questions
All scores are reviewed in conjunction with the overall profile of the applicant. No single standardized, predicted, or board score qualifies an applicant for shortlisting or firm offer.
Tuition waivers of 25% to 100% may apply through merit scholarship or financial aid.
There is no separate application needed for merit scholarships – all firm offer holders are automatically considered. Need-based financial aid works differently: applicants must indicate their intent to apply during the initial application, and the financial aid application is accessible once they have qualified for an offer of admission.
