About

Admission to law programmes is generally conducted through the prescribed Guru Nanak Dev University/Punjab Law Admissions process. Candidates first check the programme-specific eligibility criteria and admission notification, complete the online application form, upload the required academic and personal documents, and pay the applicable application fee. Eligible candidates are considered according to the admission criteria prescribed for the relevant law programme, followed by merit preparation, counselling or seat allocation wherever applicable. Selected candidates then complete document verification and pay the prescribed tuition and other fees within the given deadline to confirm their admission. The exact admission procedure, dates, merit criteria and seat allocation rules may vary for each academic session and programme.

Admission Criteria

Admission process

• Candidates should first check the current GNDU College, Jalandhar prospectus and confirm the programme-specific eligibility requirements, intake and admission schedule for the relevant academic session.

• Candidates are required to enter their personal and academic details accurately and upload/submit the documents requested during the application process.

• Admission to the UG programmes of the college is generally made on the basis of merit in the qualifying examination, subject to the eligibility requirements, availability of seats and applicable reservation rules. GNDU's current admission notice states that admission to University College, Jalandhar is handled by the Principal except for MBA and MCA.

Eligibility

Admission process

• Eligible applicants must submit the online application and required academic/research documents within the notified period.

• Where an entrance test is prescribed, candidates must appear for the test and subsequently participate in the applicable interview/counselling or selection process.

• Final admission is subject to fulfilment of GNDU's PhD regulations, availability of seats and completion of the required registration formalities. GNDU currently provides a dedicated PhD admission/registration system and publishes PhD admission information separately.

• Candidates should select the desired certificate course and check its specific eligibility, duration, fee and admission schedule.

Eligibility

• Eligibility depends on the particular certificate programme offered by GNDU.
