†From the session 2009-10 IIT Kharagpur is introducing M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree programs in Chemistry, Geological Sciences, Geophysics, Mathematics and Physics instead of M.Sc. Two Year programs. The admissions to these programs will be through JAM-2009. A student admitted to a Dual Degree program will be allowed to enroll for Ph.D. provided he/she has certain minimum CGPA at the end of the fourth semester; otherwise he/she will have to leave with a M.Sc. degree. A student may also on his/her own, decide not to continue with the Ph.D. program and leave with an M.Sc. degree after the end of the fourth semester

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION

JAM-2009 qualified candidates shall have to fulfill the following eligibility criteria for admissions in IITs.

• At least 55% aggregate marks (taking into account all subjects, including languages and subsidiaries, all years combined) for General/OBC Category candidates and at least 50% aggregate marks (taking into account all subjects, including languages and subsidiaries, all years combined) for SC/ST and PD Category candidates in the qualifying degree.

For candidates with letter grades/CGPA (instead of percentage of marks), the equivalent percentage of marks will be decided by the admitting institute(s).

At the time of admission, all admitted candidates will have to submit a physical fitness certificate from a registered medical practitioner in the prescribed form. At the time of registration, the admitted candidates may have to undergo a physical fitness test by a medical board constituted by the Admitting Institute. In case a candidate is not found to be physically fit to pursue his/her chosen course of study, his/her admission may be cancelled.

Note:

(i) It will entirely be the responsibility of the candidate to prove that he/she satisfies the minimum educational qualifications and eligibility requirements for admissions.

(ii) The Admitting Institute has the right to cancel, at any stage, the admission of a candidate who is found admitted to a course to which he/she is not entitled, being unqualified or ineligible in accordance with the ordinances and regulations in force.
