B. Eligibility Criteria for Ph.D. Program

The minimum qualification required for admission to Ph.D. programs in Engineering, Science,
Planning & Architecture, Management and Humanities & Social Sciences is one of the following:
NIT Rourkela Ph.D. Admission Notice [Autumn 2020-21] Page - 2 of 10
a) M.E./M.Tech./M.Pharm./M.Arch./M.Des. in relevant discipline with at least 6.5 CGPA or 60
percent marks or 1st class in both B.Tech. (M.Sc./B.Pharm./MCA or equivalent) and M.Tech.
levels from a recognized Technical Institute or University.
b) B.E./B.Tech./B.Pharm./MCA/B.Arch. or equivalent in relevant discipline with CGPA of 7.0 or
65 percent marks.
c) M.Sc. in Basic Sciences with CGPA 7.0 or 65 percent marks in relevant disciplines. For
applicants with valid GATE/NET/GPAT score, requirement may be relaxed by maximum 0.5
CGPA or 5% marks.
d) M.B.B.S. / B.V.Sc. with CGPA 6.5 or 60 percent marks or 1st class.

Further, candidates having the following qualification can also apply for Ph.D. in Management
and Humanities & Social Sciences:
e) M.A. / MBA / M.Com. / M.Sc. in Humanities and Social Sciences or Management with 6.5
CGPA or 60 percent marks or 1st class.

In addition to the above eligibility criteria (based on B.Tech., B.Arch., M.Sc., MBA, MA, M. Com.,
M.Tech., M.Arch., M. Des. and M. Pharm., etc. examinations), the following additional criteria will
also be applicable:

a) A candidate should score minimum 60% marks or 6.5/10 CGPA or 1st class throughout
career to be eligible for admission to Ph.D. program. The DRC, however, may make one
exception (marks <60% or Grade < 6.5/10) at its discretion from among the results of 10 th,
+2, BA, B.Sc., Diploma etc. (except qualifying degree) if the candidate has qualified
GATE/NET/GPAT or other national level fellowship tests like DST-INSPIRE, RGNF etc.
b) For admission to Engineering and Science disciplines (except Life Science), a candidate
should have passed Mathematics in +2 Science or Diploma.
c) Science students admitted to Ph.D. program in Engineering need Mathematics in +3 level.
Students without Mathematics in +3 level may be admitted under the condition that they will
have to register for 16 credits of 100 and 200 level Mathematics and 100 level Computer
Science courses (Theory and Practical) in addition to their normal course requirement, and
secure at least C grade in each course.
d) A student should have passed Life Science or Biological Science either in +2 or +3 level for
admission to Ph.D. in Life Science department.
e) Students without adequate background in the primary discipline will be required to have 10%
extra marks (1.0 CGPA) to qualify over students with specialization in a primary discipline,
unless explicitly exempted by the Senate. List of primary disciplines for specializations under
the various departments is given in Clause “D” below.
However, a higher short listing criteria (possibly different for different departments) may be set
by the Department during scrutiny of applications depending on the departmental requirement,
number and quality of applicants. Therefore, merely satisfying the minimum eligibility criteria does
not guarantee a candidate to be called for interview and mere attending an interview does not
guarantee admission.

 E. Notes

1. Where regular mode of education is available for any Degree/Qualification then

Degree/Qualification obtained through any modes other than regular mode, i.e. Distance
Learning, Correspondence Course, etc. will NOT be considered for the purpose of admission
to Ph.D. program of the Institute.
2. For selection of Research scholars in engineering disciplines, students with B.Tech. degree
will be given preference over students with M.Sc. degree, even if the latter may have an
M.Tech. Degree.
3. Students with any other relevant background may be eligible, but only with approval of the
Senate or Chairman, Senate on the recommendation of the Departmental Research
Committee (DRC).
4. There is no relaxation in academic requirement for SC/ST/OBC/PH/PWD students, because
the minimum academic requirements have been set to meet the basic challenges of the
academic program. Also, the academic eligibility shall be same across all studentship
categories (Institute fellowship, External fellowship, Project fellowship, Sponsored, etc.).
5. Rule for conversion from CGPA to percentage or vice-versa, if prescribed by Degree Issuing
Institute/University will be accepted. However, if no such rule is prescribed by Degree Issuing
Institute/University, conversion will not be allowed.
6. Students of one discipline may seek admission in a related department which will be
considered on the basis of merit of the individual case(s).
7. Selection will be made on the basis of academic record, relevance of qualification,
candidate’s research interest, existing research programs and facilities of the departments,
and performance of the candidate in tests and/or interviews. Therefore, merely attending a
tests and/or an interview does not guarantee admission.
