Auro University, Surat primarily admits students based on merit and minimum eligibility rather than strict entrance exam cutoffs, except for programs under Gujarat ACPC or national tests like CLAT, CAT, and XAT. Most UG/PG courses require 50% in qualifying exams with direct applications, but ACPC-participating MBA programs use rank-based cutoffs. Trends show stable or slightly improving closing ranks over years, favoring Home State quotas.
Admissions blend merit lists, Auro Entrance Test (AET), personal interviews, and national scores where applicable—no fixed cutoffs for direct entry programs like BBA, B.Sc, B.Des (portfolio-based). Minimum: 50% in 10+2 (UG), bachelor's (PG); relaxations rare. ACPC handles select MBA seats via GUJCET/ACPC ranks; Law via CLAT; MBA via CAT/XAT/CMAT. Category-wise data limited to ACPC (General, HS dominant); no SC/ST specifics published. Provisional admits allowed.
For MBA programs under Gujarat ACPC (Home State), 2025 closing ranks ranged 12741-13176 (Round 1-2, General). MBA Finance/HRM topped preferences at 13176. No UG engineering cutoffs as university focuses non-technical streams; Law/Design merit-based
