Admission to Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham is based on the Amrita Entrance Exam, which features a Multiple Choice Questionnaire without negative marking. Counseling takes place in three rounds across four campuses: Coimbatore, Bangalore, Amritapuri, and Kochi. Admission and branch allocation depend on entrance exam rank. The current annual fee ranges from 2 to 2.1 lakhs INR, including hostel and mess fees, which have risen to about 4 lakhs INR for new students.
A caution deposit of 50,000 INR is required upon admission. Scholarships are available for local residents, academic achievers, and through loans with low-interest rates.
