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. Therefore, merely satisfying the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee to be called for interview and mere attending an interview does not guarantee a seat for admission.
