It’s important to note that students from SC, ST, or PwD categories who secure admission are fully exempt from paying tuition fees.
Are You Eligible? Check the Criteria
To be considered for PhD, MTech, MS, MDes, and MPP programs, applicants must hold a bachelor’s degree with a minimum CGPA of 6.0 on a 10-point scale or 60% aggregate marks. For SC, ST, and PwD candidates, the requirement is relaxed to a 5.5 CGPA or 55% marks.

Important Exam Scores You’ll Need
A valid national-level examination score is mandatory for most full-time programs. Candidates for MTech and MS must have a qualifying GATE score, while MDes applicants need a valid CEED score. However, there’s a significant exemption: Graduates from Centrally Funded Technical Institutes (CFTIs) with a JEE-based degree and an impressive CGPA of 8.0 or higher are not required to have a GATE score, offering a direct pathway for top academic performers.
