The number includes about 45 sponsored candidates from Defence Services, Defence Research and Development Organisation, Indian Space Research Organisation,
Faculty members from engineering colleges under Quality Improvement Program etc.
Eligibility
The following categories of candidates are eligible to apply for admission to course programs.
(a) Bachelor’s degree holders in Engineering/Technology or equivalent.
(b) Bachelor’s degree holders in Science/Mathematics/Statistics/Computer Science/Electronics/ followed by qualifications obtained through an examination conducted by professional societies recognised by UPSC/AICTE.
(c) Bachelor’s degree holders in Architecture/Design (for M Des program only)
(d) Master’s degree holders in Physics with Electronics/Instrumentation (for M Tech programs).
All the candidates should qualify in the concerned paper in Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) or Common Entrance Examination for Design (CEED) (for M Des program) and possess valid score cards.
Additional notes
(a) The minimum requirement for admission to course program is a SECOND CLASS (as declared by the University) or equivalent Grade in the qualifying examination as indicated against each Department. See Sections 2.3 - 2.5 for more details.
(b) Wherever B Sc with professional Diploma is prescribed, candidates should have passed B Sc in 10+2+3 system with at least a SECOND CLASS with Physics and/or Mathematics, Chemistry as subjects in the curriculum as applicable to the concerned departments.
(c) The minimum requirement of SECOND CLASS in the qualifying examination is relaxed to PASS CLASS for SC/ST candidates.
(d) Those in the final year of their qualifying examination and awaiting results are also eligible to apply. But they should have completed all the requirements for the award of their qualifying degree, including all examinations, dissertation projects, viva-voce, etc., by the time of joining, i.e., by the end of July 2008.
(e) Candidates who join initially for ME / M Tech program may be permitted to transfer to the Ph D program, subject to academic assessments.
