The Panjab University Syndicate has given its approval for carrying out the PU Migration Entrance in Engineering Test (PUMEET) for candidates who have finished the first year of the bachelors of engineering (BE) course from any other institute, recognised by the PU.
The Joint Academic and Administrative Committee (JAAC) of the University Institute of Engineering and Technology (UIET), Dr SS Bhatnagar University Institute of Chemical Engineering & Technology (UICET) and PU Swami Sarvanand Giri Regional Centre (PUSSGRC), Hoshiarpur, had proposed the idea of the test.
The test will be conducted in the last week of May 2019. The candidates who have secured a minimum aggregate 60% and have appeared in the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) in the previous session will be eligible to apply. The test will consist of 100 multiple choice questions (MCQs) to be attempted in 100 minutes. The result of the test will be declared by mid-June 2019 and counselling for admission shall be conducted in the first week of July 2019.
The students who wish to change their branch will also be able to do so through the test.
