To apply for courses at Azim Premji University, candidates must pass the university's entrance test and an interview. The admission process runs from mid-December to early February. The university emphasizes practical work and offers substantial student support, with a faculty-student ratio of 1:25 and a mentor for every five students. Faculty members are accessible and often hold qualifications from prestigious institutions. The teaching approach is discussion-based, focusing on both academic and personal development.
The annual fee for the M.A. in Development program is approximately Rs 75,000, totaling Rs 1,50,000 over two years. Tuition for each semester costs Rs 42,000, while the annual hostel fee, excluding food, is Rs 84,000. Scholarships and financial aid are available, with allocations based on financial need and other criteria.
