Register for the PW CEE at Just ₹49
PW IOI's Common Entrance Exam already costs less than a cup of coffee at ₹99. A working coupon code shaves off another ₹50 — small in absolute terms, but here's exactly how it works, and what actually matters once you're past checkout.
| Code | Discount | You Pay | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| EXAM50 | ₹50 off | ≈ ₹49 | Primary code, use this first |
| TEST50 | ₹50 off | ≈ ₹49 | Backup — separate tracking link |
What Registering for ₹49 Actually Gets You
The PW CEE (Common Entrance Exam) is the entrance test run by Physics Wallah Institute of Innovation (PW IOI) — a project-based, industry-integrated undergraduate institute with campuses in Bangalore, Noida, Pune and Lucknow. Clearing it, along with an interview, is what gets you into PW IOI's flagship 4-year B.Tech in Computer Science, run in partnership with Medhavi Skills University, a UGC-recognised Skills University — PW IOI itself functions as the Industry Skilling Partner, layering on-the-job learning, applied labs and mentorship on top of the university's curriculum.
Some official PW IOI material also mentions a parallel option to pursue a Bachelor's degree in Data Science & AI from a top IIT, delivered via Coursera, alongside the core program — worth asking your admission counsellor about directly, since program structures at newer institutes get refined between cycles.
Fifty Rupees, in Perspective
Worth saying plainly: ₹50 is a genuinely small amount, and no one should spend more than two minutes on it. What actually decides whether PW IOI is a good financial decision for you is the fee structure below and how much of it a scholarship might cover — that's where hours of research pay off, not the coupon field.
Eligibility for the B.Tech Program
| Criteria | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Academic stage | Class 12 passed |
| Minimum score | At least 60% marks in both Class 10 and Class 12 |
| Subject requirement | Mathematics mandatory |
| Batch commencement | July 2026 |
The Four-Step Admission Process
The Fast Track Process (FTP) — No CEE Required
If you've already got a strong score elsewhere, PW IOI's Fast Track Process lets School of Technology applicants skip the CEE and move straight ahead, qualifying through any one of the following:
| Exam / Criteria | Qualifying Score |
|---|---|
| JEE Main | 80 percentile and above |
| CUET | 600 / 800 marks |
| MHT CET | 75 percentile and above |
| COMEDK | 108 / 180 and above |
| BITSAT | 220 / 390 and above |
| Class 10 & 12 | 75% and above in both |
If none of these apply to you yet, the standard CEE route — the one EXAM50 and TEST50 discount — is where you're headed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should You Bother With EXAM50 or TEST50?
Sure — it costs you nothing to apply, doesn't touch your CEE score or scholarship shot, and saves you ₹50 on a fee that was already just ₹99. But don't let a ₹50-off code be the most researched part of your PW IOI decision. Spend real time on the parts that move lakhs, not tens of rupees: whether the CEE syllabus plays to your strengths, whether your profile fits the Merit, EWS or Empower Her scholarship tracks, and whether the ₹14.75 lakh fee structure — before any scholarship — actually fits your plan. Get that right, and the ₹49 registration is just a footnote.
