Transfer students
We welcome transfer students
At Plaksha, we believe that learning should be flexible, interdisciplinary, and future-focused. Students who began their undergraduate studies at another recognized institution can join Plaksha without restarting their degree.
The credits earned in the other institution or degree are recognized. Transfer students can seek admissions in the majors given below only:
- BTech in Biological Systems Engineering (BSE)
- BTech in Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence (CSAI)
- BTech in Data Science, Economics and Business (DSEB)
- BTech in Robotics & Autonomous Systems (RAS)

- A strong academic background in core subjects (e.g., Math, Physics, Programming, Life Sciences, or Engineering Fundamentals) relevant to the chosen major.
Other Requirements
- The first three semesters at Plaksha equip all students with foundational knowledge across disciplines.
