How hard is it to get admitted to Ashoka University?

A
Admin Posted On : April 9th, 2024

Admission at Ashoka comprises three steps: Application Round, Interview Round and Document Verification. Ashoka University considers the candidate's personality traits, extracurricular activities and overall academic performance for admission which is extremely competitive. The interview round is unpredictable and quite difficult as well. Admission to Ashoka University cannot be assured by any set of rules. Candidates are judged on their critical thinking, clarity of thought and creativity during the interview rounds. Important steps in the process include completing the application and fulfilling the university's admission requirements. The admission requirements are subject to change, so it's best to contact the admissions office or visit the university's official website to find out the most recent details.
