Selection Process
JRF-qualified students are admitted to the Ph.D. programmes through an interview, in line with the University Grants Commission (Minimum Standards and Procedures for Award of Ph.D. Degree) Regulations, 2022. Candidates with a valid UGC NET with JRF qualification will be invited for the interview, which carries 100% weightage in the selection process.
Admission to the Ph.D. programmes is merit-based. A combined merit list will be created, including JRF candidates and those with a valid UGC NET score in categories 2 and 3. This final merit list, organized by discipline, will determine the selected candidates for Ph.D. admission, adhering to the Government of India's reservation policy.
Candidates will not be able to make changes to their category once the application has been successfully submitted, as per the official website.
