GURUGRAM: Ahmedabad University has listed an undergraduate admissions open house in Gurugram for Sunday, 25 October 2026, from 10:30 am to 1 pm at Hotel Ibis on Golf Course Road, Sector 53. The date and venue appear in its official open-house calendar, which also carries a Gurugram registration link. With the university's admissions page displaying pre-registration for 2027, the meeting offers local families a chance to prepare questions about subject choices, selection and the cost of studying away from home.
The current admissions guidance allows applicants to choose multiple programmes or majors on one form, subject to eligibility. Outside BTech, students can confirm an initially undecided major by their second year; BTech requires a choice when applying. However, the page combines 2027 pre-registration with an engineering entrance-score criterion referring to 2026. Families should confirm the rules for their intended entry year. Students comparing options can also consult the separate NIFT 2027 admissions guide.
Questions beyond the course name
That flexibility has limits worth discussing before applying. Changing a major requires the relevant eligibility or prerequisite courses; the university currently does not allow a switch into its engineering school. Its published selection process considers academic performance, a faculty interaction and an authentic personal statement. Meeting minimum eligibility alone does not secure admission. A useful question for the Gurugram meeting is how a student's existing school subjects fit the intended course, especially if they hope to change direction after enrolment.
The Foundation Programme description gives families something more specific to examine than an interdisciplinary label. It sets out an 18-week common core for entering undergraduates, combining six knowledge domains through thematic studios. Water, environment and climate change, democracy and justice, and neighbourhoods are the four studio themes. Students undertake individual and group work and engage with local communities. Applicants can ask how that common study fits alongside their intended specialisation and how project work is assessed. These are questions for the institution, not a confirmed agenda for the Gurugram session.
Check the year on the cost sheet
Costs need a separate academic-year check. The fee page currently labels its undergraduate table 2026-27. As checked on 18 October at 4:39 pm IST, it lists annual tuition of Rs 6 lakh for BA (Honours), BSc (Honours), BSc in Management (Honours) and the two BCom programmes. BTech is listed at Rs 4.25 lakh, with a note that this structure has been submitted to Gujarat's ACPC Appellate Committee for ratification. These are the published 2026-27 figures, not confirmed fees for a student entering in 2027.
The same page says tuition is payable in two equal semester instalments and that summer study, the Independent Study Period, immersions and additional services carry separate charges. It also warns of fee revisions. Ask for the intended entry year's complete cost sheet, including accommodation, and the applicable withdrawal terms before budgeting or making a payment. The page refers refunds to UGC guidelines; Dalimss News' report on fee-refund compliance explains why the policy and admission year must be read together.
The university's separate undergraduate financial-aid policy distinguishes eligibility from an award. Across programmes, including BTech, it lists eligibility for a 90 to 100 per cent tuition waiver at annual family income up to Rs 6 lakh, subject to audit. The partial-waiver band is Rs 6 lakh to Rs 15 lakh for other programmes, and Rs 6 lakh to Rs 9 lakh for BTech. Assessment considers income, expenditure and assets, including an independent agency's visit to the family's home or business. Families should seek confirmation of the policy applicable to their entry year.
The aid application is another step: the published guidance says its need-based form becomes available on the student portal after the admission application is submitted. It encourages early applications and mentions a limited number of housing scholarships for outstation students with greater need. A tuition waiver should therefore not be treated as an automatic promise to cover living expenses. Before deciding, ask which documents are required, when an aid decision will arrive and whether any conditions apply in later years. Recheck the official calendar's Gurugram listing and registration instructions before travelling.
