IIT Delhi to Admit Students to Abu Dhabi Campus Using JEE Advanced 2024 Scores

The Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD) has inaugurated its first undergraduate programs at its Abu Dhabi campus. Starting from the 2024-25 academic year, IITD will offer two new UG courses, each with an initial intake of 30 students.

Admission Process

The admission process for these courses includes two pathways:

• JEE Advanced Exam: Up to 10 seats in each discipline will be filled through the JEE Advanced exam.
• Combined Admission Entrance Test (CAET): A new exam introduced by IIT Delhi for the UAE, which will allocate 20 seats per discipline.

The CAET, administered by the JEE Office at IIT Delhi, is scheduled for June 23, 2024, at multiple centres across the UAE. This test is open to UAE residents, including nationals, expatriates, and international students. Registration for CAET ends on June 10, 2024, and can be completed through the portal: admissions.abudhabi.iitd.ac.in/application/caet-2024.

Qualifiers of JEE Advanced 2024 can apply for the IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi campus through a separate portal on the IIT Delhi website, which will be available after the JEE Advanced results. The seat allocation for both JEE Advanced and CAET qualifiers will be managed through this specific portal.

Fees and Benefits

Other benefits include:

• Free double occupancy hostel accommodation.
