IPU Admissions 2026: Last Date Extended to April 30, Apply Online

What Is the Latest Update in IPU Admissions 2026

IPU has extended the online application deadline to 30 April 2026, 11:59 PM for notified programmes where admission is based on National Level Test scores andor qualifying merit. This update came through an official notification dated 10 April 2026.

The extension is not a blanket extension for every programme. Applicants need to check whether their chosen programme falls under the National Level Test or merit-based route before relying on the 30 April deadline.

Important IPU Admission 2026 Dates You Should Know

These dates should be read together because the university issued separate notices for different admission modes.

Which IPU Applications Are Extended Till 30 April 2026

The 30 April 2026 extension applies to programmes where admission is being made on the basis of National Level Test scores andor qualifying merit, as notified by the university. Candidates applying under these routes can continue to use the online registration form up to the extended deadline.

Applicants should not assume that every IPU programme uses the same admission channel. The university runs admissions through different routes, so the correct brochure and programme notice must be checked before applying.

Does the 30 April Extension Apply to CET Admissions

No. IPU separately declared that 11 April 2026 was the last and final opportunity for CET registration. The university also stated that there would be no further extension because CET scheduling was to begin from the last week of April 2026.

This means candidates seeking admission through IPU CET should not rely on the 30 April deadline. That extension is for notified National Level Test and merit-based admissions, not for CET-based applications.

How IPU Admissions 2026 Are Being Conducted

For the 2026-27 session, IPU admissions are being conducted through multiple routes depending on the programme:

• Common Entrance Test conducted by the university
• National Level Test based admission
• Qualifying examination merit, wherever applicable

The admission brochures and notices make it clear that candidates must choose the correct admission mode while filling the online form. Using the wrong mode can create problems later in the admission process.

Eligibility for IPU Admissions 2026

Eligibility is programme-specific and is not the same across all IPU courses. Candidates need to check the relevant UG, PG or Ph.D. admission brochure for the exact academic qualifications, subject requirements, minimum marks, reservation rules and admission basis for the programme they want.

Before submitting the form, applicants should confirm the programme code, admission route, category applicability and whether the course is being offered through CET, a national level test or merit-based admission.

Application Fee and Registration Rules

IPU notified that a mandatory registration fee of Rs. 2500 per programme has to be paid to complete the online registration process. The university also clarified that registration is treated as complete only after payment of this fee.

In its notices, the university further stated that where a candidate has to submit a fresh application because of incorrect code or mode selection, the earlier fee will not be adjusted or refunded. Applicants should therefore fill the form carefully and avoid casual submissions.

The admission pages for 2026-27 also state that there is no counselling participation fee for admission.

Mistakes to Avoid While Filling the IPU 2026 Form

IPU has already issued advisories asking candidates to be careful while filling the online application form. The most important points are:

• Choose the correct programme code
• Select the correct CET code or test code, where applicable
• Select the correct mode of admission, whether CET or National Level Test or merit
• Fill personal details, region and category correctly
• Do not assume correction requests will be accepted later

The university has specifically warned that requests for change in CET code, test code, programme code or mode of admission may not be entertained. Applicants who make errors may have to submit a fresh form with a fresh fee.

Official Brochures, Notices and Helpdesk

Applicants should use the official IPU admission main page, the IPU admissions portal and the 2026-27 brochures for UG, PG and Ph.D. programmes. These sources carry the latest notices, admission basis, programme codes and fee information.

For admission-related assistance, the official university contact details published on the admission page include the email address admissiongrievances@ipu.ac.in and helpline numbers 011-25302167 and 011-25302169.

Because deadlines have been split across different admission modes, candidates should keep checking the official pages instead of depending on older summaries or third-party updates.
