Ashoka University is a pioneer in its focus on providing a liberal education at par with the best in the world. The aim at Ashoka is to help students become well-rounded individuals who can think critically about issues from multiple perspectives, communicate effectively and become leaders with a commitment to public service. An Ashoka education carries a strong emphasis on foundational knowledge, thorough academic research based on rigorous pedagogy, and hands-on experience with real-world challenges. The 2,250-plus students on campus, drawn from 30 states and over 243 cities in India and 27 other countries, receive a world-class interdisciplinary education through undergraduate and post-graduate programmes led by internationally renowned faculty. 

The minimum eligibility to apply to Ashoka University’s undergraduate program is the following:

The candidates can secure admission to Ashoka University UG programmes if they have appeared for SAT or ACT or Ashoka Aptitude Assessment (AAA) or have their final Class XII board/equivalent examination scores. All applicants who have appeared for SAT/ ACT also need to appear for AAA.

For applicants whose final Class XII board examination scores are not available at the time of evaluation, the SAT/ACT or the Ashoka Aptitude Assessment (AAA) may be used to make a firm offer of admission. This is especially helpful for the first round of admissions where most applicants may not have their final board examination scores. No applicant will be rejected before receiving the final Class XII board scores.
