GGSIPU (IPU) Admission 2026-27 — IPU CET Pattern, BBA / B.Com Eligibility, Delhi Quota, Fees
Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU), set up by the Government of NCT of Delhi, admits students to University Schools of Studies and more than 115 affiliated colleges. Each programme uses its own entrance route — GGSIPU's own CET, CUET-UG or a national test such as JEE Main, NEET-UG, CLAT or NATA. This page follows the Admission Brochure for Bachelor's Programmes 2026-27.
