Guidelines for Applicants
Please read through the following guidelines before you start applying online:
- Please keep ready scanned copies (in .JPEG or .JPG format) of a colour photo (size 2" x 2"), your signature (in black ink, size 2" x 2") and an Identity Card with photo (your National ID card, Driving License, Passport, Voter/Ration/Adhar card etc. are all valid).
- Please allow pop-ups in the browser setting before you register online.
- Register online by providing your full name(s), the programme name you are applying for and your email ID. Your first name, middle name and last name should be the same as in your educational and ID documents. Enter your email address and cell phone number with country code. Please re-check all spellings before submitting the registration because once you have registered, you cannot make any changes.
- Once you register online, the system will send you two separate emails giving your User ID and Password on your email ID. Please login by providing the User ID and Password sent to you and complete your application.
- If you have any queries regarding any field, you can click on the question mark symbol (?) against it for clarification.
- You can edit your application details before making payment online. Once payment is made, you will not be able to make any changes in your application.
- Your application will be registered after you have made payment.
- If you wish to apply for another programme at SAU, login once again to the Admission portal with the same User ID and Password and select the other programme. You will be required to only fill your educational details and make payment. Application fee for each programme must be paid separately and is non-refundable.
- Before applying for more than one programme, please check the test timings/shifts in the admission notice on the SAU website. If the entrance test for both the programmes falls in the same shift, you will be allowed to sit in only one.
- Those who do not wish to/cannot make payment online are still required to apply online. They may make payment through bank draft, write their name, application number and the programme they have applied for on the back of the bank draft (which should be drawn in favour of “South Asian University”, payable at New Delhi) and courier it to the Deputy Registrar Admissions, South Asian University, Akbar Bhawan, Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, 110021, India. However, you will be registered only after your draft has been received.
- Please note that an incomplete application form or wrong and incomplete information in it will lead to the rejection/cancellation of admission.
