Dr. B.R. Ambedkar School of Economics University Application/Admission Process

Dr. B.R. Ambedkar School of Economics University (BASE) in Bengaluru offers admissions primarily through the CUET entrance exams for its economics-focused programs. The process emphasizes merit-based selection with reservations for Karnataka students and relaxed criteria for SC/ST candidates.

Programs Offered

  • BASE provides full-time residential programs including the Five-year Integrated M.Sc. Economics (under NEP 2020), Two-year M.Sc. Economics, and Two-year M.Sc. Financial Economics.
  • Each has specific seat allocations: 75 seats (plus 5 for PIO/Foreign Nationals) for Integrated M.Sc., and 30 seats (plus 5 for PIO/Foreign Nationals) each for the two-year M.Sc. programs.

Eligibility Criteria

  • For the Five-year Integrated M.Sc. Economics: Candidates need 10+2 (PUC/12th Std./equivalent) with English and Mathematics as core subjects, securing at least 65% aggregate (60% for SC/ST).
  • For Two-year M.Sc. Economics or Financial Economics: B.Sc./B.A. (Honours) in Economics or equivalent with Mathematics/Statistics/Econometrics as majors, minimum 55% aggregate (50% for SC/ST).
  • Admissions prioritize CUET performance, with 60% seats reserved for Karnataka students.

Admission Process

  • Applications are submitted online via the official BASE website (base.ac.in). Steps include: visiting the admissions portal, paying the fee, filling personal/academic details, uploading documents, and submitting.
  • Selection relies on CUET UG for Integrated M.Sc. and CUET PG for two-year M.Sc. programs, followed by merit lists per eligibility and reservation policies.
  • No separate entrance; NTA CUET scores determine admission.
