IIT Delhi - Abu Dhabi Campus to Admit JEE Advanced Qualified Students

The Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi (IITD) is preparing to begin its first undergraduate (UG) programmes at its newly established Abu Dhabi campus. Beginning with the 2024-25 academic year, the campus will offer two new undergraduate courses: B.Tech. in Computer Science and Engineering and B.Tech. in Energy Engineering, each with an initial enrollment of 30 students.

There are two main approaches by which admissions for these courses will be handled. Up to ten seats in each discipline will be reserved for candidates who pass the JEE Advanced exam. The remaining 20 seats will be filled via the Combined Admission Entrance Test (CAET), a new exam designed exclusively for students in the UAE and introduced by IIT Delhi.

JEE Advanced-qualified applicants can apply for the Abu Dhabi campus through a dedicated portal linked to the IIT Delhi website, following the release of the JEE Advanced results. Applications for both JEE Advanced and CAET will be assigned seats through this distinct platform, which will manage the procedure instead of using the JoSAA portal

The usual IIT Delhi campus category-wise fees will be the only financial obligation for students enrolled through JEE Advanced. All other costs will be covered. Furthermore, these students will be given a monthly stipend of AED 2000 in addition to free double occupancy hostel housing. Meals will be provided at subsidised rates. Students will also be given a yearly travel allowance of AED 4000. Comprehensive medical insurance and other welfare benefits will be offered to the candidates.

The CAET test, administered by the JEE Office at IIT Delhi, is scheduled for June 23, 2024, in multiple locations around the UAE. Candidates who live in the United Arab Emirates, including foreign students as well as nationals and expats, are eligible to take the test. Registration for the programme is available until June 10, 2024, at admissions.abudhabi.iitd.ac.in/application/caet-2024.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed on July 15, 2023 by the Abu Dhabi Department of Education and Knowledge (ADEK), IIT Delhi, and the Indian Ministry of Education led to the establishment of IIT Delhi-Abu Dhabi campus.
