Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most asked questions. If you have a question and it has not been answered please write to us at ug.admissions@plaksha.edu.in

Private Universities (unlike private engineering colleges) as per law do not require AICTE approval.

Our academic programs are designed and developed by an Academic Advisory Board from leading global Universities, and are benchmarked to international standards.

It will be a 4 year BTech degree program.

Engineering degrees are traditionally focused on one discipline - e.g. Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering.

However, real-world applications lie at the intersection of various disciplines. For example, building a robot lies at the intersection of computer science, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Creating a medical implant lies at the intersection of biology, material science, electrical engineering and other disciplines.

An interdisciplinary engineering education means that our degrees are thoughtfully designed to dismantle walls between disciplines and prepare students to make impact on the toughest problems faced by our planet. Each of the degrees we are offering are cutting-edge and are not constrained by the boundaries of one discipline.

We will ask students to indicate their preference. However, students will have an option to apply for a switch at the end of the first year.

The freshman year is intentionally designed to be almost entirely common between the degrees, so that students have an opportunity to be exposed to different options and make an informed choice.

Our partner institutionsare truly invested in our mission to reimagine technology education and research, and this shared mission lies at the heart of the partnership.

Our partners are deeply engagedwith us in the entire process of institution building, including design and delivery of the curriculum, faculty and student exchange, and joint research.

For example, the Plaksha Technology Leaders Program was designed from a blank slate over a series of brainstorming workshops at UC Berkeley and India. A senior Berkeley faculty is the Co-Chair of the program, six Berkeley faculty teach at TLP, and the certificate is co-signed by Sutardja Center for Entrepreneurship & Technology, UC Berkeley.

Our partners believe that such interdisciplinary programs are the future of education. In fact, one of their key interests is that if the programs are successful, they can actually be taken back to their own institution as well. In that sense, what is happening at Plaksha is truly rigorous and relevan.

Plaksha undergraduate education experience is designed to be fully residential and all students will be required to stay on campus. We believe that living on campus will be a significant part of the overall student experience.

The campus is ready.

Campus tours are organized at regular intervals. The link is announced on the home page.

Plaksha strives to bring together curious tinkerers and problem-solvers with a natural tendency to ask questions, explore concepts, and an openness to learning, wired with a risk-taking attitude. At Plaksha, we are committed to admitting the brightest minds coming from all walks of life. A student at Plaksha will be encouraged to wear multiple hats which will be facilitated by the interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum. This warrants an incoming student to demonstrate strong academic rigor along with the ability to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively. We understand that these intrinsic qualities cannot be measured through marks alone and therefore believe in going beyond the mark sheet with our holistic selection process.

We welcome applications from students coming from commerce and humanities backgrounds for our major Data Science, Business and Economics, as long as they have studied Mathematics upto grade 12.

Yes, students can apply with their predicted Class 12 scores. Students who apply using only predicted scores may be required to go through an extra stage of evaluation.

The ideal students for this major should have a strong interest in math, data and programming, along with excitement to apply these in the context of business, economy and society. Having studied mathematics in Classs 11 and 12 is an eligibility requirement. It is important to note that this major is different from a pure business degree or a pure economics degree. This major has a strong data science core upon which the applications in business and economics are built, to create a cutting edge four year interdisciplinary program. A strong interest in Mathematics, Programming and Data Science along with an interest in Economics and Business is hence desirable.

We will accept applications in multiple rounds. You can submit your application only once.

For example, if you have submitted your application in Round 2, you can't apply in Round 3 or Round 4.

We encourage you to apply as early as possible.

You need to have a masters degree with on going research.

Only if he/she has a good project based knowledge

We expect that the parents/guardians will take the primary responsibility of funding their childs' education by considering various financial resources available to them. The Financial assistance is awarded by the university to bridge the gap between the parents’/students' affordability and the cost of education at Plaksha. Only those applicants who have been shortlisted for the interview are eligible to apply for financial aid.

Financial aid may vary from 25% to 100% on tuition and residence costs.

The financial aid given by Plaksha University is assessed solely on the basis of your family’s financial standing.

If you are applying for financial aid at Plaksha, you will be required, but not limited, to submit the following documents

  • Income tax returns of all earning members of the family
  • Bank account statement of all members of the family
  • School fee receipt(s) of applicant for grade XII
  • School fee receipt(s) for the applicant’s sibling
  • Details of financial asset(s) owned by the family
  • Company’s income tax returns and bank statements (in case any earning member of the family owns a Business)

You are only exempted from filing an ITR if your total income is below INR 2,50,000. If you fall in this category, you will be required to provide:

  • an affidavit on a stamp paper, stating the gross annual income and the source(s) of income (if the earning member is self-employed); and
  • salary slips for the last six months/salary certificate from the employer (if the earning member is salaried)

Financial Aid is available to both international and Indian students. The University will provide need based aid, for which students will have to submit their details in the financial aid form. The Financial Aid form will open up only if you are shortlisted for the interview round.

No, the fee structure remains the same for all students.
