While the university has confirmed the application window, the specific date for the conduct of the IP SET 2026 examination remains to be announced. Candidates are encouraged to begin their preparations by focusing on the subject areas relevant to their chosen course of study, as outlined in the official notification.

For those applying to the BEd and BEd Special Education programmes, the entrance test will evaluate candidates across four primary domains: Language Proficiency, Mental Ability and Reasoning, General Awareness, and Aptitude for Teaching. These sections are designed to assess the foundational skills required for professional teaching roles.

Applicants for the BA Journalism and Mass Communication programme will face a different set of requirements. Their entrance test will focus on English Language and Comprehension, General Awareness, Reasoning, and Media Aptitude. By structuring the test this way, the university aims to gauge the specific analytical and communication skills necessary for success in the field of journalism and media studies.
