Exemption from GURET 2021
Exemption from appearing in the GURET 2021 does not mean automatic admission into the PhD Programme. It is just a benefit awarded to certain deserving applicants. An exempted applicant will necessarily have to go through the process of Counselling before she/he can be admitted into the PhD Programme. Hence, all deserving candidates should apply through the Central Application Process (CAP). Recipient of CSIR/UGC-JRF, ICMR-JRF, ICAR-JRF, DBT-JRF and any National Level Fellowship / Scholarship (awarded for the PhD prgramme by a National Agency, such as INSPIRE Fellowship, MHRD etc.) are exempted from appearing in the GURET 2021. Eligible International Students are also exempted from appearing in the GURET 2021.
The final admission of exempted applicants into the PhD programme will be limited to a maximum of 50% (fifty percent) of total admitted applicants in any discipline in any academic year. Therefore, a candidate who is exempted from GURET may appear in GURET for admission through GURET, if the candidate is unable to get a seat out of the 50% seats.
For exact eligibility criteria, how to apply and other details, candidates should refer the official website of Gauhati Uiversity (GU).
