Highlights The M.A. in Research is a postgraduate degree centered on conducting original, independent research. Unlike traditional M.A. programs, it focuses less on coursework and more on developing a thesis or dissertation. Students choose a specific research topic and work closely with a faculty advisor throughout the program. This degree is well-suited for those aiming for research careers or planning to pursue a PhD. The program helps students build advanced skills in research, critical analysis, and specialized knowledge in their chosen field.
Eligibility Criteria
Candidates should hold a bachelor's degree (three or four years) or a postgraduate degree (e.g., MA, MSc). The minimum score requirement is 60% (or 6.0 CGPA on a 10-point scale) for General/OBC-NC/EWS categories and 55% for SC/ST/PwD applicants.
Examinations: Applicants need a valid GATE score, specifically from the GATE-XH paper. Other GATE papers may not be accepted.
Selection Process: Eligible candidates are invited for the MA through the Research Admissions Test (MAAT). Shortlisted applicants from MAAT then attend an interview. The final selection combines scores from MAAT, GATE, and the interview performance.
Additional Notes: The program offers 20 seats with TA-ship (teaching assistantship) opportunities for eligible students, and its duration is two years.
