AIEED 2027 Admission Process

ARCH describes its design screening as a multi-stage process. The current official admission information outlines the following stages:

• Stage 1: Online Application Form

Candidates first need to complete and submit the AIEED application form online.

• Stage 2: Portfolio of Abilities and Statement of Purpose

Applicants are required to upload their Portfolio of Abilities (PoA) and Statement of Purpose (SoP). Detailed instructions are made available in the application panel after login.

• Stage 3: Online Interaction and Counselling

Candidates attend an online interaction and counselling session with an ARCH expert on the date selected or assigned through the admission process.

• Stage 4: Situation Test and Group Discussion

Candidates participate in an on-campus Situation Test and Group Discussion. ARCH states that this stage assesses areas including creativity, collaboration and problem-solving abilities.

• Stage 5: Result and Admission Offer

After completion of the screening stages, candidates receive the result and, where selected, an admission offer. ARCH states that the stages and their components are mandatory and are monitored and assessed by its admissions panel.

What Is the Portfolio of Abilities for AIEED?

The Portfolio of Abilities (PoA) is an important part of the ARCH admission process. Candidates are required to upload it through their application panel along with the Statement of Purpose. ARCH provides detailed portfolio guidelines after candidates log in to their application account. Students should therefore begin preparing their creative work before submitting the application form.
