The online application form consists of following sections:

• Personal story
• Personal information
• Scores from grades 9-12, Grade 12 predicted scores (self-predicted/school predicted)
• Co-curricular, and extracurricular activities

You can view the application checklist here.

Students who submit the application with all the relevant documents will appear for the Krea Assessment Test (KAT) — an 80-minute virtual test that comprises the following four sections:

• Problem-Solving
• Critical Thinking & Verbal Ability
• Numeric Reasoning
• Writing Skills

This step helps Krea University gauge students’ abilities to organise, synthesise, and articulate thoughts on various aspects of a given topic, and understand the well-rounded perspectives of the aspirant.

You can view a Sample Krea Assessment Test here.

Applicants shortlisted after the KAT may participate in the Krea Immersive Case Analysis (KIC). It will be conducted online for 15 minutes with two applicants per session and is divided into three parts:

• Part 1: Case Immersion
• Part 2: Structured Case Analysis
• Part 3: Decision Challenge

The KIC is designed to evaluate an applicant’s ability to think critically, collaborate effectively, and respond to real-world scenarios with clarity and creativity.

KAT waiver applicants and shortlisted applicants will attend a 15-minute virtual Personal Interaction (PI) with members of the Krea faculty panel. In line with our mission rooted in diversity and inclusivity, we are resolute in providing aspirants opportunities to be assessed by varied techniques and not just a singular one. This helps candidates be their true selves and helps us understand if Krea University is the right fit for them.

• Applicants with eligible SAT, ACT, or Krea Assessment Test (KAT) scores may be invited directly to the Personal Interaction (PI) after submitting their online application and completing the KAT.
• ⁠Applicants may also submit their Ei CREST scores in place of the Krea Assessment Test (KAT) and proceed directly to the Personal Interaction (PI).

Admission Decisions: For all students, there will be a minimum condition of passing the XIIth Board exams or equivalent to fulfill the regulatory norms for undergraduate education.

• Applicants who have done well across the two stages of our holistic selection process and meet our selection benchmarks and have also secured the actual XIIth Board scores (or equivalent as per UGC norms)
• Submitted self or school predicted XIIth Board scores may receive confirmed admission offers. You will be required to share the document that certifies successful completion of Grade XII, as soon as such a document is made available to you, with the Office of Admissions

Applicants may be denied admission at any stage of selection.

• Applicants who have submitted the online application form with complete records but have not met the eligibility criteria will not proceed to further admission stages
• Applicants who have completed all admission requirements but did not meet the selection benchmark of getting shortlisted during the admission process, will not be offered admission

Applications of those who have submitted their application, online with incomplete documents will be put on hold or reviewed at a later stage if the requested documents are submitted

Applicants who have gone through all stages of the Admissions process, but whose overall performance falls short of the selection benchmark in the applicant pool in that admissions round, will be waitlisted and their application will be reviewed at a later stage
