7. Admission to the Foundation Year at the College of Engineering is competitive.  Offers of admission are extended on the basis of the program capacity, and the ranking of applicants according to the following weighted score:

Weig​hted Score = 0.35 × CGPA + 0.35 × GAT + 0.3 × SAAT

        Where,
