New Entrance Test for BCom Admissions
Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (MSU) is set to implement a new entrance test for its Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) program starting in the 2026-27 academic year. This marks a significant shift in the university’s admission process, as the entrance exam will contribute 25% to the overall admission score, while Class 12 marks will account for the remaining 75%.
This is the first time MSU has introduced an entrance examination for BCom admissions, indicating a trend towards more rigorous selection processes in higher education.
Increased Quota for Local Students
In a move to prioritize local students, MSU is increasing its quota for applicants from the Vadodara district from 85% to 95%. This decision responds to the rising demand for higher education in the area and aims to support local students in accessing educational opportunities.

Competitive Landscape for Admissions
The introduction of the entrance test and the increased local quota are expected to intensify competition for BCom admissions at MSU. With over 15,000 students from the Vadodara district passing Class 12, the pressure on the limited number of available seats is likely to remain high.
Broader Trends in Indian Higher Education
The changes at MSU reflect a wider shift in Indian higher education towards merit-based admissions. As more universities adopt similar policies, the landscape of higher education is becoming increasingly competitive, emphasizing the importance of academic performance and entrance exam results.
