Admission Procedure
Candidates willing to take admission are required to collect the application form from the office of the Registrar of the University. A candidate must fill in the information related to admission (Desired Program, Status of Studentship, etc.), his/her personal information (Name, Father’s Name, Mother’s Name, Date of Birth, Addresses, Gender, Nationality, etc.) his/her academic information, his/her experience, if any, and names and addresses of two referees.
After filling in all necessary data, the completed application form, duly signed by the applicant, must be submitted with the following supporting documents to the registrar’s office to complete the application procedure.
(i) Two attested copies of recent passport size color photographs.
(ii) Attested copies of certificates of all public examinations.
(iii) Attested copies of certificates/grade sheets/mark sheets of degrees obtained.
(iv) Attested copies of testimonials/character certificates from the institutions attended.
(v) The letter of consent from the employer for applicants in employment.
Selection of Candidates
The selection of candidates for admission into a Postgraduate program will be performed by the Department. A candidate may be required to appear at an interview by the selection committee as constituted by the Board of Postgraduate Studies of the Department. He/She will be required to take pre-requisite course(s) as may be prescribed by the Selection Committee. The final list of the selected candidates for admission into the Postgraduate programs will be notified on the notice board of the Department urging them to take admission as early as possible, but not later than two weeks from the start of the classes, on payment of the requisite fees. Candidates are advised to contact the Department for information regarding the selection procedure.
