Thapar University Admission Steps :- 

Step 1: Online Application
Eligible candidates should apply through the official website (thapar.edu), ensuring they meet all course-specific requirements and submit the form before the deadline.

Applicants must appear for the relevant entrance tests — JEE Main or NEET for BTech, TMAT or other accepted exams for MBA, and GATE for MTech. Candidates with valid scores should enter them in the application form.

Step 3: Merit List Announcement
The university publishes a merit list based on entrance exam scores. This list displays candidate names, exam scores, category, and allocated branch.

 Selection Criteria – Weightage

The final merit list is based on a holistic evaluation, with maximum emphasis on interview performance:

Step 4: Counselling & Fee Submission
Shortlisted students attend counselling sessions. Final seat confirmation is subject to payment of admission fees after counselling.

Application Fee

• A one-time, non-refundable fee of ₹1,500 (based on the previous admission cycle).

MBA Cut-Offs: 

LMTSM considers scores from major national-level entrance exams to shortlist candidates for the Personal Interview (PI).

• Applicants without a valid national test score must appear for the Thapar Management Aptitude Test (TMAT).

Note: These are minimum shortlisting thresholds. Higher scores, especially 90 percentile in CAT, may qualify applicants for merit-based scholarships.
