Gangadhar Meher University Application/Admission Process

The admission process for Gangadhar Meher University (GMU) is predominantly centralized through the SAMS Odisha portal, though professional and research programs have their own specific entrance requirements.

Application Portals

Depending on your level of study, you will use different systems:

  • UG (Regular & Self-Finance): Handled via SAMS Odisha (Student Academic Management System).
  • PG (M.A., M.Sc., M.Com.): Handled via the CPET (Common PG Entrance Test) portal on SAMS Odisha.
  • MBA/MCA: Admission is primarily through OJEE(Odisha Joint Entrance Examination) or national tests like MAT/CAT.
  • Ph.D.: Direct application through the GMU University Portal.

Step-by-Step Admission Process

Phase 1: Online Registration & CAF

  • Register: Create a profile on the SAMS Odisha portal using your mobile number and Aadhaar.
  • Common Admission Form (CAF): Fill out the CAF where you select Gangadhar Meher University and your preferred "School" or Subject (Honours).

Phase 2: Entrance Exams (For PG & Professional)
