Pune University PhD Admission 2022: Eligibility and Selection

Candidates willing to get admission to PhD at Pune University must have the following eligibility qualifications:

  • Master's degree or a professional degree equivalent to the master’s with at least 55% aggregate
  • Candidates who have cleared the MPhil course work with at least 55% aggregate in aggregate or its equivalent grade 'B' in the UGC 7-point scale

Pune University PhD admission is subject to an entrance exam conducted by SPPU, i.e. PhD Entrance Test (PET). However, those who have qualified in UGC NET (including JRF)/ CSIR NET (including JRF)/ SLET/ GATE or teacher fellowship holders are exempted from the university-conducted entrance exam.

The University admits candidates via a two stage process (for those willing to secure admission via PET):

Stage 1: PET

The entrance test is of 100 marks (consisting of 100 MCQs of one mark each) with 50% aggregate as qualifying marks. The test contains the following type of questions:

Q:   Will I get admission to MCA in Savitribai Phule University with 57 percentile?

A:
The admission process and criteria for MCA at Savitribai Phule Pune University (formerly known as the University of Pune) may vary from year to year. While I don't have access to the specific cutoffs for the current year, I can provide you with some general information. A percentile of 57 is relatively low for MCA admissions, and it may be challenging to secure admission at Savitribai Phule Pune University with this percentile. The university typically receives a large number of applications for MCA and the cutoff percentile tends to be higher. However, admission criteria can depend on various factors such as the total number of applicants, the number of available seats, and the overall performance of candidates. The university may also consider other factors such as category-wise reservations, entrance exam scores, and academic qualifications. To obtain accurate and up-to-date information regarding the admission process and cutoffs at Savitribai Phule Pune University for MCA I recommend visiting their official website or contacting the university's admission department directly. They will provide you with the most accurate and reliable information regarding the cutoffs, eligibility criteria, and chances of admission with your percentile score. It's essential to stay updated with the official notifications and guidelines provided by the university to understand the specific admission process for the current year.
