Intake
The number of seats available for admission to the PhD Programme will be decided based on the number of Supervisors available and the number of vacancies available under each supervisor. A faculty member with a Ph.D. degree is eligible to supervise (or co-supervise) a PhD Scholar. A Supervisor should not have more than 6 PhD Scholars at any given time either
as a Supervisor or as a co-supervisor. During the period between a Scholar’s registration and their thesis submission, a Scholar is considered to be conducting research under the Supervisor(s) guidance.
Candidates are admitted to the PhD Programme twice a year. On both occasions, the number of seats available for admission to the PhDProgramme will be decided based on the distribution of applicants and availability of Supervisors.
Selection for admission to the PhD programme will be through a written test followed by an interview as described below. The relative weightages (see Merit List below) for the written test, interview and the previous academic performance, taken together, shall form the basis for preparing the merit list of eligible candidates.
Selected candidates shall fulfill all admission formalities within the prescribed date including paying the fee and completing all admission formalities as notified by the university. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of selection.
