3. Admission Information

RTMNU does not have one common admission process for every programme.

Admission depends on the:

• University department
• Course
• Affiliated college
• Professional programme
• Postgraduate programme
• Doctoral programme

Undergraduate Admission

Many undergraduate programmes are offered through RTMNU-affiliated colleges. Admission may follow Maharashtra’s centralised admission system, merit-based admission or programme-specific rules.

Postgraduate Admission

University departments and affiliated institutions may follow:

• Merit-based admission
• University entrance examination
• CET
• Programme-specific selection

Professional Courses

Courses such as engineering, management, pharmacy and other professional programmes follow the applicable Maharashtra CET/CAP or regulatory admission process.

Ph.D. Admission

Doctoral admissions are governed by the University’s current Ph.D. regulations and admission notifications.

Admission Katta Rule

For the main RTMNU page:

Admission Process: Programme / Department / College Specific

This is more accurate than presenting a single entrance examination for the entire University.

Important Admission Katta Distinction

Admission Katta Structure

The university page should provide the broad picture, while individual programmes should eventually have their own pages:

This will prevent the main university page from becoming unnecessarily overloaded.
