Jaipur: Rajasthan University (RU) will commence admissions for the 2026–27 academic session on June 1, with the entire process conducted online. The academic session is scheduled to begin on July 1, according to university officials. Students can submit their online application forms through the university’s admissions portal, which will soon be accessible from RU’s main website.
This year, applicants will be required to fill a separate admission form for each course. No hard copy of the application form will be necessary. University authorities have advised students to carefully read the admission brochure, which contains detailed information about the admission process, before submitting their applications.
Merit-Based Admissions Under Semester Scheme
Prof Ram Avtar Sharma, convener of the Central Admission Committee, stated that admissions will be merit-based and conducted under the semester scheme. He explained that the process will cover three- and four-year undergraduate programmes offered by RU’s four constituent colleges, including B.A., B.Com., B.Sc., BCA and BBA courses, along with undergraduate programmes under the Faculty of Fine Arts, such as BPA and BBA, as well as BTech and MTech programmes.
Focus on Skill-Based Education with AEDP
Highlighting the emphasis on skill-based education under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, Sharma said RU has introduced Apprenticeship-Embedded Degree Programmes (AEDP) aimed at strengthening practical learning and employability. “These courses are designed to equip students with financial literacy, practical skills and workplace readiness,” Sharma said.
According to the university, AEDP courses include banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI), human resource operations, and content and creative writing, among others. Under AEDP, students will undergo apprenticeship training during the third year under the National Apprenticeship Training Scheme (NATS) and will receive a minimum monthly stipend of Rs 9,000, Sharma added.
For more information, students are encouraged to visit the official RU website regularly for updates on the admissions portal and brochure.
