Engineering admissions in Punjab state colleges are primarily based on JEE Main scores and centralized counselling through JoSAA/CSAB. The legacy Punjab CET was discontinued in 2013.
I.K. Gujral Punjab Technical University (IKGPTU) uses JEE Main scores for B.Tech admissions to affiliated colleges. Candidates participate in web-based counselling for seat allotment.
