Applicants for the doctoral programmes of Ambi Institute of Engineering (AIE) and Bambi Institute of Enginneering (BIE) have to appear for a Common Entrance Test (CET). The test has three sections: Physics (P), Chemistry (C), and Maths (M). Among those appearing for CET, those at or above the 80th percentile in at least two sections, and at or above the 90th percentile overall, are selected for Advanced Entrance Test (AET) conducted by AIE. AET is used by AIE for final selection.

For the 200 candidates who are at or above the 90th percentile overall based on CET, the following are known about their performance in CET:

1. No one is below the 80th percentile in all 3 sections.
2. 150 are at or above the 80th percentile in exactly two sections.
3. The number of candidates at or above the 80th percentile only in P is the same as the number of candidates at or above the 80th percentile only in C. The same is the number of candidates at or above the 80th percentile only in M.
4. Number of candidates below 80th percentile in P : Number of candidates below 80th percentile in C : Number of candidates below 80th percentile in M = 4 : 2 : 1.

BIE uses a different process for selection. If any candidates is appearing in the AET by AIE, BIE consider their AET score for final selection provided the candidates is at or above the 80th percentile in P. Any other candidate at or above the 80th percentile in P in CET, but who is not eligible for AET, is required to appear in a separate test to be conducted by BIE for being considered for final selection.
