💡 Expert Tip

This is an interview-only selection — your MD/MS marks, publications, and departmental presentation will determine your outcome. Two critical document traps: OBC candidates must have an NCL certificate issued on or after 01/04/2025 (earlier certificates are invalid), and EWS candidates need a certificate based on Financial Year 2024-25 income. Government-employed candidates who show up without an NOC from their current employer will not be permitted to sit for the interview — no exceptions. Also, if applying for multiple departments, you must fill a separate application form and pay fees separately for each.
