Applicants
Awaiting Results
1.
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 evidence (proof of thesis
submission) from the candidate‟s Institute/University is required to be
submitted at the time of admission.
2. For all
course based degrees [B.Tech, M.Sc., MBA, M.Tech (Regular)] results need to
have been published before admission is granted. In exceptional cases when an
university will not be in a position to publish result by the time of
admission, submission of qualifying degree result may be permitted till 30th September
2013, but not beyond.
Differential
academic qualifications across the departments have been made considering the
departmental requirement, availability of candidates in the respective
departments and uniform growth of all departments in the Institute.
D. Qualifying Degrees and Primary
Disciplines for Admission to Ph.D/ M.Tech (Research) Programmes
The following
are the minimum academic eligibility criteria to be eligible for applying to a
programme. However, a higher short listing criteria (possibly different for
different departments) may be set by the Department during scrutiny of
applications depending on the departmental requirement, number and quality of
applicants. In addition to the minimum eligibility criteria, following
mandatory eligibility criteria will be used for shortlisting the candidates.
Therefore, merely satisfying the minimum eligibility criteria does not
guarantee a candidate to be called for interview and mere attending an
interview does not guarantee a seat for admission.
1. A candidate
should have minimum 60% marks or 6.5/10 CGPA at both Metric and +2 levels. One
second class out of these two examinations can be accommodated. In such case a
candidate should have minimum 70% marks or 7.5/10 CGPA in the other examination
to be eligible for admission to Ph.D. or M.Tech(Res) programmes. Depending on
the number of vacancies and no. of applications received, cut off marks in
B.Tech./M.Sc or equivalent examinations may be set differently by different
departments.
2. For admission
to Engineering and Science disciplines (except Life Science), a candidate
should have passed Mathematics in +2 Science.
3. Science
students admitted to Ph.D. programme in Engineering need Mathematics in +3
level. Students without Mathematics in +3 level may be admitted under the
condition that they will have to register for 16 credits of 100 and 200 level
Mathematics and 100 level Computer Science courses (Theory and Practical) in
addition to their normal course requirement, and secure at least C grade in
each course. Department Requisite

Notes:
1. BE., B.Tech.,
AMIE and other recognized Membership Examinations (approved by Government of
India) will be considered equivalent for the purpose of Ph.D. &
M.Tech.(Res) admission.
2. For selection
of Research scholars in Engineering disciplines, Students with B.Tech. degree
will be given preference over students with M.Sc. degree, even if the latter
has an M.Tech. Degree.
3. Students with
any other relevant background may be eligible, but only with approval of Senate
or Chairman, Senate on the recommendation of the Departmental Research
Committee (DRC).
Notes:
1.
There is no relaxation in academic requirement for SC/ST/OBC/PH students,
because the minimum academic requirements have been set to meet the basic
challenges of the academic programme.
2.
Students of one discipline may seek admission in a related department which
will be considered on the basis of merit of the case. Selection will be made on
the basis of academic record, relevance of qualification, candidate’s
research interest, existing research programmes and facilities of the
departments, and performance in tests and/or interviews.
