Candidates are needed to apply in the appropriate category and have to make multiple applications if they are applying through more than one channel. Being eligible depends upon possessing valid credentials like a JRF award, qualifying NET percentile, or a valid GATE score in a particular subject. Possessing academic credentials or entering scores alone will not meet the requirements for admission.
The process is entirely online, and offline entries will not be entertained. Up to three courses of study, in order of preference, can be chosen by candidates in one application. Candidates possessing a valid JRF, however, can also apply in the NET category if they wish.
Prior to initiating the application, all applicants are directed to go through the carefully the PhD admissions e-Prospectus put up on the official JNU website. The document carries vital information, such as program-specific eligibility requirements, the available number of seats, and step-by-step admission procedures.
