You need 60% marks or CGPA 6.75 in a master degree in engineering or technology. You can also apply with 70% marks or CGPA 7.75 in a strong bachelor degree. Part time students need one year of work after graduation.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Master degree route | 60% marks or CGPA 6.75 in engineering or technology |
| Bachelor degree route | 70% marks or CGPA 7.75 with strong research work |
| Part time rule | One year of work after the UG degree |
| Entrance test | ULRAT and a pre registration interview |
CMRIT checks the form, ULRAT score and interview before it sends the name for registration. You apply online, write the test, discuss your research plan and pay the first fee. If the supervisor fit is weak, ask for written guidance before you pay.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Apply online | Fill the CMRIT doctoral form and choose Electrical and Electronics Engineering |
| 2. Write ULRAT | Take the university level research aptitude test |
| 3. Attend interview | Explain your research area and work plan |
| 4. Register | Pay the fee and finish document check after selection |
The public rule starts at 60% marks or CGPA 6.75 for the master route. The bachelor route needs 70% marks or CGPA 7.75. ULRAT is a 100 mark test, and the interview checks whether your topic fits an available guide.
| Route | Score or mark | Round and year |
|---|---|---|
| Master degree route | 60% marks or CGPA 6.75 | CMRIT doctoral rule |
| Bachelor degree route | 70% marks or CGPA 7.75 | CMRIT doctoral rule |
| ULRAT | 100 mark test | Before interview |
| Part time route | 1 year of work | Before registration |
The NIRF engineering filing shows INR 6 LPA median pay and 89% placement for the latest UG engineering batch. These figures do not promise Ph.D jobs. They show the wider engineering hiring base around the department and the campus.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Median pay | INR 6 LPA |
| Batch placed | 89% |
| Students placed | 773 of 868 |
| Higher studies | 84 students |
| Ph.D scholars | 120 part time and 7 full time |
Four schemes can cut the fee by INR 40,000 to INR 1.84 Lakhs. The SC/ST post matric support gives the biggest waiver. State and central schemes need income proof, and the staff concession needs college approval.
