c) MSc in Basic Sciences with CGPA 7.0 or 65% marks in relevant disciplines. For applicants
with a valid GATE/NET/GPAT or equivalent score, the requirement may be relaxed by a maximum of 0.5 CGPA or 5% marks.

d) MBBS/BVSc with CGPA 6.5 or 60% marks or 1st class.
Further, candidates having the following qualification can also apply for PhD in Management and Humanities & Social Sciences:

In addition to the above eligibility criteria (based on BTech, BArch, MSc, MBA, MA, MCom, MTech, MArch, MPlan, MDes and MPharm, etc. examinations), the following additional criteria will also be applicable

a) A candidate should score a minimum of 6.5 CGPA or 60% marks or 1st class throughout career to be eligible for admission to the PhD programme. The Departmental Research Committee (DRC), however, may make exception (marks < 60% or CGPA < 6.5) at its discretion in only one among the results of 10th, +2, BA, BSc, BCom, Diploma etc. (except qualifying degree) if the candidate has qualified in GATE/NET/GPAT or other national-level fellowship tests like DST-INSPIRE, etc. or joined as JRF/SRF in any research project

b) For admission to Engineering and Science disciplines (except Life Science), a candidate
should have passed Mathematics in +2 Science or Diploma.

c) Science students admitted to the PhD programme in Engineering/Physics/ Mathematics must have passed Mathematics at +3 level. Students without Mathematics at +3 level may be admitted under the condition that they will have to register for 14 credits of 1000 and 2000 level Mathematics and 1000 level Computer Science courses (Theory and Practical) in
addition to their normal course requirement, and secure at least a C grade in each course

d) A student should have passed Life Science or Biological Science either at +2 or +3 level for admission to PhD in the Life Science department.

e) Students without having a qualifying degree in the primary discipline will be required to take up additional course work of 6 credits to gain adequate knowledge on the subject so as to be considered to qualify along with students with specialization in a primary discipline, unless explicitly exempted by the Senate. A list of primary disciplines for specializations under various departments is given in Clause “D” below

However, higher shortlisting criteria (possibly different for different departments and for different categories of students) may be set by the Department during scrutiny of applications depending on the departmental requirements, number and quality of applicants. Therefore, merely satisfying the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee a candidate to be called for an interview and also mere attending an interview does not guarantee admission.

C. Applicants Awaiting Results

a) For thesis-based Postgraduate degrees [(M. Tech. (Research), MS or equivalent], a student is permitted to submit the final result within one year from the date of thesis submission. However, one documentary piece of evidence (proof of thesis submission) from the candidate’s Institute/University is required to be submitted at the time of admission.

b) For all course-based degrees [B. Tech., M. Sc.., MBA, M. Tech. (Regular), etc.] results need to have been published before admission is granted. In exceptional cases when a university will not be in a position to publish result by the time of admission, submission of qualifying degree results may be permitted till 30th September, 2022 but not beyond.
