The University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES) has announced new admission dates and eligibility criteria. With the CBSE board class XII results announced on July 30, applicants can now apply at UPES online by August 20 for BTech, BTech LLB, Law and BPharmacy programmes. The new academic session at UPES will begin from September 1.

In place of entrance examinations, students can apply through class XII board marks or through national level exam scores like JEE/CLAT/LSAT as per the respective programme notified eligibility criteria. This initiative is not only going to help students by taking away the pressure of one more entrance examination but also reduce the selection time.   For more information on the admissions process, those interested can visit https://www.upes.ac.in/ and apply at https://admission.upes.ac.in/apply.
