B.S. Abdur Rahman Crescent Institute of Science and Technology (BSAU) Chennai outlines clear eligibility criteria for its 2025 admissions across undergraduate (UG), postgraduate (PG), and doctoral (Ph.D.) programs. These criteria emphasise academic performance in qualifying exams, relevant subjects, and valid entrance test scores. For UG programs like B.Tech and B.Arch, candidates need a minimum 50% aggregate in 10+2 with specific subjects and must qualify via CIEAT 2025 or national exams like JEE Main/NATA. PG admissions, such as M.Tech, require a bachelor's degree with 50% marks and scores in GATE/TANCET/CUAT 2025. Ph.D. eligibility typically involves a master's degree with 55% marks, followed by an institute entrance test and interview. Relaxations apply for reserved categories (e.g., 45% for SC/ST). Fees often vary based on the 10+2 PCM percentage for UG. All candidates must have completed regular, full-time formal education.
