Exemption from GURET 2023
Exemption from appearing in the GURET 2023 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.) in the concerned subjects are exempted from appearing in the GURET 2023, subject to verification and approval by the competent authority of GU.
Eligible International Students are also exempted from appearing in the GURET 2023.
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.
It should be NOTED that irrespective of any exemption from appearing in the GURET 2023 that might be awarded to a prospective applicant, the applicant MUST complete the CAP and pay the requisite fee.
A list of Exempted Applicants will be published prior to GURET 2023.
