How to learn IPU CET after 12th in Delhi
IPU CET is GGSIPU's own entrance test for certain programmes; B.Tech admission at GGSIPU-affiliated institutions runs on JEE Main Paper-1 instead. IPU CET is the common entrance test conducted by Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University for a number of its programmes. For B.Tech admission, GGSIPU uses JEE Main Paper-1 scores through its own counselling, which is the route into VSET. Starting from Class 12 in Delhi, the pipeline is predictable: 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, then JEE Main Paper-1, then counselling — GGSIPU counselling for IP University colleges. The real decision is choosing a college whose IPU CET coverage is genuine rather than a brochure keyword.
