It is desirable that the candidates had Maths at 11th & 12th standards.
Those appearing for final examination may also apply. In case of candidates obtaining equal aggregate marks at entrance examination preference will be given to candidates performing better upto final exam.50% admissions are reserved for SC/ST/NT/DT/OBC categories and 3% for physically handicapped (as per Govt. rules).
The test will be of 2 hours with approximately equal weightage to the following 4 topics. All questions will be with multiple choice questions.

1. Logical ability
2. Elementary mathematical skills including Calculus, Linear algebra, Graph plotting, Combinatorial analysis, etc.
3. Computer fundamentals and C-programming.
4. English

M.Phil. Admissions

Eligibility Criteria for admission: MSc (Scientific Computing) / M.C.S./ M.Sc. Computer Science/ MCA (Science Faculty) / M.Sc. or equivalent degree in any related area with exposure to Computer Programming. Mathematics upto S.Y.B.Sc. level desirable.
55% / B+ at qualifying degree.

Those who have filled the form in response to the advertisement of UOP and are eligible as per the above criteria have to appear for the entrance exam.

Note: Admission will be done through entrance Exam followed by an interview.
NET/SET candidate will be exempted from written examination but they have to appear for the interview.

Number of Seats: Up to 6 (3 (Open) + 3 (Reserved))

Course Duration: The duration of the full time M.Phil. Course shall be 12 months extendable by an additional period of one year.

Course Content:
M.Phil course program shall consist of
1. Course work
2. Dissertation work

Course Work: The candidate has to take three theory courses including Research methodology. The theory courses can be chosen from M.Sc. (Scientific Computing) programme as advised by the Departmental Committee, considering the candidates background. Students can also choose courses offered by CMS and other departments on the University campus with prior permission from the Director, ISSC and the guide in-charge.

Note: A student having post graduation other than M.Sc (Scientific Computing) has to undertake the course SC - 204 Numerical Methods for Scientific Computing – I and can choose other courses from ISSC or from a different department as mentioned above.

Course Lectures: The course lectures should be attended along with regular M.Sc. / M.Tech. course in the respective department when the subject opted is offered.

Dissertation Work: M.Phil students should complete their thesis work with any recognized guide in Scientific Computing within the period specified by University rules. Guides shall be assigned by the M.Phil committee.

Written exam will be comprised of two papers

Paper I will be an objective paper of 60 marks with two sections.
Section A - 40 marks - aptitude test
Section B - 20 marks - english language proficiency test

Paper II - 60 marks - Subject oriented descriptive questions based on the syllabus

Eligibility for Interview
Only those candidates who have obtained atleast 40% marks in section A and 40% marks in Section B of paper I will qualify for their evaluation of paper II. All candidates who fail to secure 40% marks seperately in the two sections will not have their Paper II graded.

Only those candidates who have secured atleast 50% marks in Paper II will be eligible for appearing for the interview for admission to M.Phil course.
 

Eligible candidates will be notified about the date and timings of the interview which will probably be conducted in the last week of November.
