Admissions 2026–27

Tell us what you want to study

Applications are open across every faculty. If the fee is the problem, say so at the start. The trust spends about ₹2 crore a year on students in exactly that position.

How it works

Four steps, and aphone number that answers

01

Choose the discipline

Thirteen of them, across 27 institutions. Each one sets its own eligibility and intake.

02

Send the enquiry

Call the admissions office, or the officer for your district, with the course you want and the marks you are holding. You will get a straight answer about eligibility.

03

Ask about the fee

If the fee is the obstacle, say so at this point rather than later. Scholarships run to about ₹2 crore a year, and free education is available for destitute children.

04

Visit the campus

Come and see it. The buses run from eight districts, and a visit tells you more about a hostel and a laboratory than any prospectus will.

Admissions 2026–27

Online admission enquiry

1What she wants to study

These colleges take enquiries online. For any other college, call +91 94437 34670 or your district officer.

2About the student

12 digits. The admissions office's enquiry system asks for it, as the old form did.

We ask for your name, email, mobile, Aadhaar number, district and the course you want, and send them to the admissions office. They are used only to answer this enquiry and process your admission, and are not shared with anyone else.
