Admission to the B.Tech (Computer Science and Engineering) program at Gurukul Kangri Vishwavidyalaya is primarily through JEE Main scores. Eligible candidates must participate in the Joint Seat Allocation Authority (JOSAA) and Central Seat Allocation Board (CSAB) counselling sessions. The cutoff is generally accessible, with students having lower JEE Main ranks or scores often admitted during the CSAB rounds. The university also provides a direct admission option based on a minimum 60%-75% in Class 12, though the prevailing method remains through the JEE Mains and subsequent counselling.

The entrance exam application fees are around INR 800 to INR 1500, administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA), and the form is released twice yearly around January and April. The eligibility requires a minimum of 75% in Class 12 for JOSAA applicants. Those who do not get seats through CSAB can apply through the university’s own entrance examination. As a government-funded technical institute (GFTI), Gurukul Kangri Vishwavidyalaya does not offer reservation benefits in fees.

The admission process involves straightforward document verification, and the campus facilities include adequate accommodation. Although the admission experience is considered easy, this institution does not permit female admissions. For 2023, cutoffs require a JEE Main percentile typically above 50%.

Life at Gurukula Kangri Vishwavidyalaya (GKV, Haridwar)

I choose this college because it is old esteemed deemed to be university. It is one of the oldest university in India with much good prestige in lists of college. It is internationally recognized good institution as stated by the government of India. It is NAAC accredated and also UGC funded university. It is purely boys college, no girls are allowed admission in this college. This institution is managed by the Arya Samaj with collaboration with the state government. It comes under GFTI. I got rejection from Delhi Technological University (DTU), Delhi. My JEE Mains rank was not as much as it was required to take admission into Delhi Technological University. I was not able to score better in my JEE Mains examination, so my JEE Mains rank was not sufficient to get a seat in this college. Then I have other option as Ggaculty of Engineering and Technology, Gurukula Kangri Deemed to be University, Haridwar.

I have applied for some IITS and NITS but i get very lower branch in all of these college because of which i chose this course as i get CSE branch in this college . Yes , I get rejection from all NITS and IITS because i get lower branch in Tier 3 college so i chose this college as it is GFTIS . Admisssion process is very simple because we just have to clear cutoffs i.e. of more than 60 percentile .Cutoffs are not so high so any one can clear this exam if someone dosen't get this college then they can apply directly .
