Pearl Academy’s official application form is currently labelled 2027 and provides session-year, exam-cycle, course and campus selectors. That is a live 2027 application form, but it does not establish that a complete 2027-28 academic-year calendar or deadline has been published. The separate Important Dates page labels its date table “Applications for AY 2026–2027 Batch” and lists 18 January 2027 as the last date to apply. Because the two pages label the cycle differently, do not use that date as the 2027-28 deadline. If you are applying for a 2026-27-labelled batch, check that the portal still accepts submissions; if you are planning for 2027-28, confirm the specific deadline in the live Pearl Academy application form before paying. As reviewed on 14 November 2026, an exact 2027-28 deadline was not verified.
The current form asks applicants to select a course and a “Program offered at” campus. It currently lists B. Des. in Product Design at Delhi West and Mumbai. This confirms that this particular course-campus option appears in the form; it does not establish that every Pearl programme is available at Delhi-West. Choose the exact course first, then confirm Delhi-West appears for that course in the current selector. The institution’s current Delhi-West campus page is the official source for campus-specific updates. You can also read the already-published Pearl Academy West Campus Overview for the campus profile.
Pearl Academy’s published general guidance sets different minimum qualifications by degree level. For a bachelor’s programme, it lists a pass certificate at 10+2 level in any stream. For a master’s programme, it lists a bachelor’s degree or diploma from a recognized university in any stream. These are the academy’s general criteria, not a substitute for the detailed requirement of a named programme, specialization or campus option. Check the current course page and application form for subject prerequisites, document format, equivalence rules and any programme-specific conditions before applying.
Applicants appearing in their final examinations may still apply. The academy says that a selected final-year applicant may receive provisional admission. That does not remove the need to meet the final qualification or submit the required result documents by the date in the offer or admission instructions. Keep the course, session year and campus visible while checking the requirement; an eligibility summary for one programme should not be assumed to cover another degree or certificate course.
The official How to Apply page describes an application form followed by an online entrance exam for bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes. It says applicants can use an online form or collect an offline form at a Pearl Academy campus. The live form currently asks for a session year, admission category, course and exam cycle, and includes a separate field for the campus where the programme is offered. Use the selected course and campus to decide whether the West option is available; do not pay on the assumption that an institution-wide course list applies to every campus.
The academy currently lists an application charge of ₹2,000 for bachelor’s and master’s degree programmes and ₹500 for professional certificate courses. These amounts are application charges, not tuition fees. Confirm that the amount shown for your chosen programme and cycle matches the current official instructions before payment. The dates-and-guidelines page describes registering with a valid email, verifying the one-time password sent to the registered mobile and email, paying the form charge, completing the remaining details and making the final submission. Save the submitted form and payment confirmation, and keep the application number and instructions sent to your registered email or mobile. If the portal does not show your chosen course-campus combination, stop and ask admissions to confirm the correct route before paying.
Pearl Academy’s current entrance-exam page separates design programmes from business programmes. For bachelor’s and master’s programmes in Fashion, Interiors, Product and Communication Design, it describes the General Proficiency Test (GPT) plus the Design Aptitude Test (DAT), followed by a personal interview and portfolio showcase. The page gives 90 minutes for the written exam and 30 minutes for the interview. For the listed bachelor’s and master’s Business programmes, it describes GPT followed by a 30-minute interview, with the GPT lasting 60 minutes. The page says portfolio presentation and discussion are part of the interview process. Confirm the combination for your exact course in the current application form; programmes may be grouped differently as the offering changes.
The academy’s How to Apply page states that the written exam and personal interview can be taken online from the applicant’s home computer. Its exam page describes exam login during a specified time window and interview-slot selection for the announced dates. Treat those instructions as operational guidance for the currently published cycle, not a schedule for 2027-28. Follow the admit-card notice and slot information issued for your selected exam cycle. Prepare the portfolio only to the format and content instructions for your course; a generic portfolio checklist should not replace the academy’s current programme-specific notice.
Before you submit, use this short check: (1) select the correct session year and exam cycle; (2) confirm that the specific course is offered at Delhi-West in the live “Program offered at” field; (3) read the eligibility and document requirements on that course’s official page; (4) verify whether the course uses GPT+DAT or GPT and whether it requires a portfolio; (5) confirm the application charge and exact last date for the selected cycle; and (6) save the final submitted form, receipt and application number. The current portal shows the 2027 form, while the available date table is explicitly labelled AY 2026-2027, so the 2027-28 deadline remains unresolved from the official evidence reviewed here. For a campus visit or an issue with the application form, check the current Delhi-West campus page or contact the official admissions helpline listed on Pearl Academy’s website.
