For Postgraduate programmes, the candidates who have opted for both M.Des. & MBA programmes shall be offered separate ranks in both the programmes.

Students will be called in the counseling in excess of the seats, therefore, there are possibilities that all the seats will be filled as per merit. Institute does not take any responsibility for any inconvenience caused to parents/candidates due to closure of the counseling prior to their turn.

A candidate who is allotted a seat will be required to pay an amount of Rs. 25,000/- at the time of counseling /admission to reserve the seat. This includes Rs. 10,000/- (Non Refundable) as Registration Fee + Rs 15,000/- as Advance Fee to be adjusted against the balance fee.
