PDEU Admission 2026: Current Status
PDEU's main website is currently promoting Admissions 2026. However, deadlines are programme-specific. Do not assume that the B.Tech deadline, MBA deadline and M.Tech deadline are the same.
The university's UG/PG admission portal has historically covered B.Tech, M.Tech, B.Sc. and M.Sc. programmes, while the School of Management handles MBA admissions separately.

The 2025 cycle is used to help students understand when they should be ready. Dates can change every year.
| Programme | Previous-cycle reference | Likely planning window |
|---|---|---|
| B.Tech | 5–8 June 2025 Round 1 cut-off/admission window in PDEU's official document | May–June |
| MBA | 28 Feb 2025 reported last date for MBA/PGDM application | Jan–Feb |
| M.Tech | Early/regular admission phases after GATE/other qualifying routes | Spring–summer |
For the next cycle, students should begin preparing documents and entrance scores before these windows rather than waiting for the final deadline.
PDEU B.Tech Admission 2026
Eligibility
Students need the prescribed Class 12 subjects and marks for engineering admission. The exact subject/percentage rules depend on the current PDEU admission rules and seat category.
Entrance exam
PDEU's official undergraduate admission page has listed JEE Main and Gujarat entrance routes for B.Tech. Gujarat seats can involve ACPC; All India seats may follow PDEU's own merit/admission process.
2025 Round 1 cutoffs as a useful benchmark
| Branch | 2025 Round 1 General All India rank |
|---|---|
| Computer Engineering | 310 |
| Computer Science & Business Systems | 366 |
| Electronics & Communication | 882 |
| Information & Communication Technology | 938 |
| Electrical Engineering | 3,085 |
| Mechanical Engineering | 2,203 |

Important: these are 2025 Round 1 ranks, not a guaranteed 2026 cutoff. Competition can move substantially between years.
PDEU MBA Admission 2026
The School of Management offers a two-year full-time MBA. Published selection material has considered CAT, XAT and NMAT, followed by additional selection components.
| Selection component | Published 2025-cycle reference |
|---|---|

The 2025 MBA/PGDM application deadline was reported as 28 February 2025. For 2026-27/2027-29 planning, students should follow the latest School of Management notice rather than this historical date.
PDEU M.Tech Admission 2026
PDEU's published M.Tech rules divide admissions into government seats through ACPC and All India seats handled by PDEU. The rules have used GATE for an early merit-based phase, followed by a regular process for eligible candidates.
Specialisations include areas such as Petroleum Engineering, VLSI Design, Energy Systems, Data Sciences, Cyber Security, Electrical Power Systems and other engineering disciplines. Always check the current programme-specific eligibility.
How to apply to PDEU?
- Choose the exact school and programme.
- Check the seat category: Gujarat/ACPC, All India, NRI or another applicable category.
- Keep entrance-exam scorecards, Class 10/12 marksheets, graduation records where applicable and identity documents ready.
- Register through the relevant PDEU online admission portal.
- Complete the application, upload documents and pay the applicable fee.
- Track merit lists, counselling, interview or GDPI notices as applicable.
- After an offer, complete fee payment and reporting within the stated deadline.
ACPC, PDEU's university-level process and School of Management MBA selection are separate mechanisms. A student should follow the route attached to their seat category.
