Bennett University has an admissions system that considers both academic merit and entrance exam merit. Admission to most UG programs is primarily based on academic performance (Class 12); however, candidates may apply through national entrance exams such as JEEMain for engineering, CUET for most streams, and CLAT for law programs.
Similarly, PG candidates can apply for admission purely on their graduation merit, or through national entrance exams such as CAT for MBA and GATE for M.Tech.
Bennett University also conducts its own entrance exams, namely, BUMAT (Bennett University Management Aptitude Test) for MBA, and BUDAT (Bennett University Design Aptitude Test) for B.Des.
