WHO ARE
ELIGIBLE?
Candidates
seeking admission in Physics must have MSc degree in Physics/Mathematics with a
minimum of 55% marks in aggregate or equivalent or first class B.E./B.Tech
degree in Engineering. Candidates seeking admission in Chemistry must have MSc
degree in Chemistry with a minimum of 55% marks in aggregate. Students who
expect to complete their final degree in the academic year 2014-2015 may also
apply, provided they can produce their final score card at the time of
admission. Reservations for SC/ST/OBC candidates will be as per norms.
