FAQs

Work experience is not a criterion for selection under NDF scheme.

It is not possible at all to change the order of preference after the interview. Once the candidate has submitted his application on-line, it is not possible to change the preference.

3. Whether admission under NDF Ph. D. scheme is allowed in IITs and NITs?
No, this scheme is only for minor QIP centers where a candidate can get admitted. IITs and NITs are excluded for admission to PhD under this scheme.

4. Is it necessary to attend interview at all the institutes as well as the departments from which I receive interview call letter?
There is no rule that you must attend interview at all the institute you opted for.

However, it is advised that you attend all of them since a recommendation from one department does not automatically ensure that you will be selected in that institute. Moreover, as per norm the recommendation from a department is always confidential.
