Which Ph.D subject group should you pick at AVVM?

Subject group

ScienceArts and commerce

Science group

8 subjects, INR 39,000 each for three years. One route in: the BDU test, or NET or SET.

Pick it if:

You want a lab-based thesis with a guide close by: Chemistry and Botany have 11 guides each here, so a free place is easier to find than in smaller subjects.

You can pay INR 15,000 more over three years: the Science group adds a lab fee of INR 3,000 a year and INR 2,000 more tuition a year.

You hold NET JRF in your subject: you skip the BDU test and draw the UGC fellowship of INR 37,000 a month in years 1 and 2.

Skip it if:

Your subject is Library and Information Science: the college lists only one guide in it, so a place opens only when a scholar finishes.

You want a cheaper science Ph.D nearby: every college under Bharathidasan University charges the same fee list, so no nearby college costs less.

Arts and commerce group

7 subjects, INR 24,000 each for three years. One route in: the BDU test, or NET or SET.

Pick it if:

You want the subject with the most guides: Commerce has 13 guides and Tamil 12, the two longest guide lists in the college.

You want the lowest fee: this group costs INR 24,000 for three years, with no lab fee at all.

You are BC, MBC, DNC, SC or ST and scored 45 to 49: the 5 mark relaxation still gets you the interview call.

Skip it if:

Your subject is History or Management Studies: each has only 3 guides on the college list, so free places are few.

You plan to keep a salaried full-time job: this page covers full-time study, and full-time scholars cannot hold a salaried job.

Counsellor's advice

If you hold NET or SET, meet the guides in your subject first and ask who has a free place. If you need the BDU test, aim for 50 or more, since 70% of your final mark comes from it.

Ph.D Eligibility▾

PG degree: A master's degree in the subject you want, from a regular course.

PG marks: 55% in all. 50% for SC, ST and differently abled students.

Entrance test: Pass the BDU Ph.D entrance test. NET or SET holders of the last 5 years skip it.

Same rule, every subject: All 15 subjects use the same marks rule and the same test.

Full-time rule: You cannot hold a salaried job, and attendance is compulsory till the minimum period ends.

Ph.D Admission Process▾

Apply for the test: Apply online on the university portal and pay INR 1,800, or INR 1,200 if you are SC or ST.

Write the test: 50 questions for 100 marks in 75 minutes, online from home with your camera on.

Face the interview: A mark of 50 brings the call, 45 for reserved groups. Your final mark is 70% test and 30% interview.

Find a guide: Ask a guide in your subject at AVVM who has a free place. The department committee approves your topic.

Register and start course work: Pay the first-year fee, send the papers to the university within 5 days, then finish course work in 12 months.

FAQs on AVVM Sri Pushpam College Ph.D

Short answers to what students ask before they apply.

How do I get a Ph.D seat at AVVM?▾

Pass the Bharathidasan University Ph.D entrance test with 50 or more, or hold NET or SET from the last five years. Clear the interview, then find a guide in your subject at AVVM who has a free place. The department committee approves your topic and you register.

Is the fee the same for every subject?▾

No. Science subjects cost INR 39,000 for three years and Arts and commerce subjects cost INR 24,000. The gap is the lab fee and the higher tuition in Science. Every college under the university uses the same fee list.

How long does a full-time Ph.D take here?▾

At least 3 years from your registration date, and at most 5 years with a master's degree. One more year is possible on your committee's advice. With an M.Phil, the minimum drops to 2 years.

Do I get paid during the Ph.D?▾

Only if you hold NET JRF or another fellowship. The UGC pays INR 37,000 a month in years 1 and 2 and INR 42,000 a month after that. The BDU entrance test alone brings no fellowship.

Which subject has the most research guides?▾

Commerce has 13 guides and Tamil 12 on the college list. Library and Information Science has only 1, so places there open rarely. Check your subject's guide list before you apply.

Can I skip the entrance test?▾

Yes, if you passed UGC NET, CSIR NET, SET or SLET in the last five years. You still need a guide with a free place and the committee's approval. Everyone else writes the BDU test.

What does course work involve?▾

Four papers worth 14 credits if you have no M.Phil: research methodology, research ethics, your core area and a related area. You finish them within 12 months of registration. Your registration is confirmed only after you pass.

Can SC and ST students study without paying the fee?▾

Yes, mostly. SC and ST scholars do not pay the computer and library charges, worth INR 4,500. With a family income up to INR 2.5 Lakhs, the post-matric scholarship pays the other INR 34,500 of the Science group fee.
