  The general entry qualifications for admission to the Ph.D. and M.Eng programmes are:

  • A good bachelor’s degree in areas related to chemical and biomedical engineering and
  • Good GRE/GATE (for Indian applicants) and TOEFL scores. In countries where GRE/GATE and TOEFL are unavailable, representatives from the School may travel to these countries to conduct Technical Proficiency Tests / English Proficiency Tests and interviews with potential candidates.

The University offers attractive research scholarships to candidates with outstanding academic results pursuing full-time Ph.D programme. The scholarship covers the research fees and other university-related fees and includes a monthly stipend.

Applications for admission must be submitted online through here.
