Applications open · founding class

We're not looking for the highest marks. We're looking for the builders.

Admission is holistic and interview-based. Bring your existing scores if you have them — JEE, CUET, SAT, CAT, NMAT — but what gets you in is evidence that you'll make the most of a university built for people who do.
