Admission Procedure
Applications for admission in a postgraduate programme, submitted by applying on the prescribed form, shall only be considered.
While candidates for a Doctoral programme may apply at any time throughout the year, only those applications for Master's programme shall be considered which have been received before the specified last date for doing the same.
All admissions in different postgraduate programmes shall be recommended by the duly constituted selection committees. Such selection committees shall be appointed by the PGCS and approved by the Chairman, Senate.
Admissions to different Master level programmes may be recommended solely on the basis of the performance in the qualifying examination (see 2.1.3) and GATE/CEED score of the candidate(s) . In addition, a given Selection Committee may deem it fit to call some or all the candidates for the written test and/or interviews.
Applications of those students who have obtained their qualifying degree from any of the Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) and have obtained a CPI ? 8.0 may be considered for direct admission without appearing in GATE.
To encourage reserved category candidates to persue postgraduate degrees, the requirements for their admissions to the postgraduate programme will be set separately as per the guidelines of GOI.
Recommendations of the selection committees will be submitted to the Convener PGCS and will require the approval by the Chairman Senate before offering admission letters to the selected candidates.
Applicants receiving the admission letters would be required to accept the offer of admission by paying the prescribed fee on or before the specified last date. In case a candidate does not accept the offer by paying the prescribed fee by the specified last date, the offer of admission may stand withdrawn and will be offered to the candidates in the waiting list, if any, in the order of merit.
The offer of admission may also stand withdrawn if the candidate who has accepted the offer by paying his/her fee but fails to register in the programme by the last date of registration.
The selected candidates who have completed all the formalities of their previous degree, including project/ thesis examination/ viva voce, before the last date of registration but are unable to produce the certificate in proof of having passed and secured the minimum specified qualifying marks, may be provisionally registered in the programme. However, if registered provisionally, a student shall be required to produce the evidence of his/her having passed qualifying degree/ examination with minimum specified marks by the last date for document submission as specified in the academic calendar (usually about 8 weeks from the date of registration) failing which his/her provisional registration may be cancelled.
In exceptional cases, a student admitted in the programme, who has paid his/her fee but is unable to register within the late registration date due to valid reasons, may request for the deferred admission. On the recommendation of the concerned faculty/discipline, the Chairman Senate may allow the deferment of admission for the duration not normally exceeding by one semester. However, all cases of deferred admissions shall be required to be ratified by the Senate and may stand cancelled otherwise.
