Admission

Procedure

  • All admissions will be made on the basis of UGC-NET Score/ the Written Test to be conducted independently by the Mahindra University (MU), which will have weightage of 60 marks and an interview with a weightage of 40 marks. The written exam will have essay-type questions, each question with a maximum of 300-words limit. Seventy percent of the questions will be drawn from the candidate’s chosen subject area, with the remaining 30% covering mathematics and statistics. The merit list for admission to MU’s Ph.D. program, will be drawn by calculating the total marks obtained by a candidate at these two components out of a total of 100 (60+40) marks.

  • For the candidates having cleared and having valid UGC-NET examination score, for admission purpose their UGC-NET performance would be given a weightage of 30/60, by default.
  • If, however, any UGC-NET cleared candidate wishes to improve his/her written test component score beyond 30/60, he/she can take the written test (to be conducted by MU) and best of the two scores will be used for admission purpose besides the marks in the interview to be conducted by MU for all candidates seeking admission to MU’s Ph.D. program.
