BTech Pre-registration
An interdisciplinary undergraduate education that blends engineering, technology, and leadership to prepare students for real-world impact.
About the program
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.
