PDEU 2026 – Counselling Process

Pandit Deendayal Energy University (PDEU) in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, is a premier institution renowned globally for its specialized education and research in energy, engineering, management, and liberal arts. For undergraduate B.Tech admissions, PDEU does not conduct its own separate entrance exam; instead, seat allocation is based directly on merit rankings from national and state-level exams. B.Tech seats are divided into three distinct categories: All India Seats (75%) which are allocated directly by PDEU based on JEE Main 2026 scores, Gujarat State Seats (25%) managed separately by the Admission Committee for Professional Courses (ACPC) based on GUJCET 2026, and a supernumerary NRI/NRI-sponsored quota (15%). The application portal for the 2026 session opened on January 15, 2026, and closed on May 25, 2026.
