The Combined Admission Entrance Test (CAET) is an undergraduate entrance exam conducted for admission to
IIT Delhi’s Abu Dhabi campus, specifically for UAE Nationals, international students, and Indian expatriates.
It is a 3-hour, English-language, pen-and-paper examination covering Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics,
with equal weightage across 60 compulsory questions.
CAET is held in multiple sessions throughout the year, and candidates may attempt it up to two times, with the best score
considered for admission. Designed to assess conceptual understanding and problem-solving ability,
CAET serves as an alternative pathway to IIT admissions outside India, comparable in rigor to
engineering entrance exams such as JEE (Advanced).
