Ph.D Programs
Eligibility
- Applicants with Master’s Degree in Engineering/Technology as their highest qualifying degree
- Applicants with Master’s Degree in Engineering/Technology must have secured 65% marks or 7.00 CGPA on a scale of 10 or equivalent in the Qualifying Master’s degree (60% marks or 6.50 CGPA on a scale of 10 for OBC / EWS, 55% marks or 6.00 CGPA on a scale of 10 for SC/ST/PD). They must have pursued their Master’s degree on the basis of qualified GATE score. However there is no GATE cut off score for applicants with M.Tech./M.E as the highest qualifying degree, who are applying for Ph.D. in Engineering Discipline.
- Applicants with Master of Science in Engineering or equivalent from leading foreign Universities with minimum CGPA 8/10 or 3.6 /4 or equivalent can be considered without GATE score.
Selection Procedure
- For candidates with M.E/M.Tech.as their highest qualifying degree, selection to the PhD programme will be based on online screening test followed by an interview. Interview will be conducted through Video Conference mode. However, candidates with a valid CSIR/NET-JRF or Lectureship post their ME/M.Tech, will be directly called for the interview through Video Conference mode.
- Applicants with Master’s Degree in Science as their highest qualifying degree.
- Applicants must have Master’s Degree in the relevant area with a minimum of 65% marks or 7.00 CGPA on a scale of 10 or equivalent in the Qualifying Master’s degree (60% marks or 6.50 CGPA on a scale of 10 for OBC / EWS, 55% marks or 6.00 CGPA on a scale of 10 for SC/ST/PD). They must have cleared a National level eligibility test, such as a valid UGC-CSIR-NET-JRF/ Lectureship/ fellowship or NBHM / JEST / GATE and State Government Science and Technology Scheme, in the relevant disciplines.
- For candidates applying with their Master’s degree in Sciences as their qualifying degree and having a valid score card/certificate in any of the National level eligibility tests listed above, selection to the programme will be based on an interview through Video Conference mode.
- Applicants applying with their valid JEST score should have secured a rank within the first 300.
- Candidates applying with a valid GATE score in a Science discipline, having a minimum score of 500 for General Category (450 for OBC / EWS and 350 for SC/ST/PD categories), are exempted from the Ph.D. online screening test conducted by IIST. Applicants having GATE score in Science disciplines less than indicated cut-off above will not be considered for Ph.D. Admission.
- Candidates, who have been provided research fellowships by State Government Science and Technology Scheme/DST-INSPIRE etc, are eligible to apply If they have already cleared a National level eligibility test, such as a valid UGC-CSIR-NET Lectureship or JEST/GATE. A valid GATE score of minimum 500 for General Category (450 for OBC / EWS and 350 for SC/ST/PD categories) in a Science discipline or valid JEST rank within the first 300 is required
