website).
1. Eligibility
School
Minimum Educational Qualifications
Biological Sciences
60% or equivalent GPA in Masters or M. Tech or M. Pharm in any
branches of Agricultural Sciences, Biology, Life Sciences,
Pharmacy (any specialization), Veterinary Sciences, Computer
Sciences, Bioinformatics and Biotechnology. Students with
Master’s degree in Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics having
interest in pursuing a career in Biology are also encouraged to
apply.
2. Requirement of Qualifying in National Level Examinations for pursuing Ph.D
program
School of Biological Sciences–Candidates should have qualified at least one of the
National Level Examinations i.e. CSIR-UGC-NET (JRF) /DBT/ICMR and be eligible to
receive fellowship from these agencies valid for the academic year 2020-2021 and

(a) The cut off marks for national examination such as GATE/JEST/NBHM/CSIR-UGCNET etc will be further decided by each School for the relevant subject area.
(b) Those who have appeared for CSIR-UGC-NET examination held recentlyin
2020and awaiting results may also apply in all Schools (except for School of
