Courses where AMU uses national tests
Not every AMU course has its own entrance test. In 2026-27 these courses used national exams instead:
- CUET-UG (NTA): B.A. (Hons) Hindi, Linguistics, Persian, Philosophy and Sanskrit, and B.Sc (Hons) Community Science.
- NEET-UG: MBBS, BDS and BUMS.
- NCET (NTA): integrated B.Ed courses (BA B.Ed and B.Sc B.Ed).
- Pre-Tib: through its national eligibility-cum-entrance test.
For these courses you still need to fill AMU’s own online form, along with registering for the national test.
