Eligibility remains conditional on a suitable first-cycle qualification, the call's curricular/language requirements, selection outcome and the intake reserved or open to that category. This is a category mapping, not a finding that every Indian three-year or four-year degree is accepted. The named call and the University's foreign-qualification checks control.

Applicant categoryConditions need checking · 2026/27
