The minimum mark is 55% in a relevant master degree, and reserved category students get the 50% mark rule. You need a master degree in Computer Applications, Computer Science or a close field. Final-year master students can apply, but they must show the final result before registration.

The process has the form, DPET, interview, merit list and registration. You apply with copies of your marks, identity proof and research area. JSS STU screens the form first. If you clear the score step, you present your research area before the department.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Fill the form | Submit the Ph.D. form with the fee and papers |
| 2. Write DPET | Answer research method and subject questions |
| 3. Attend interview | Present your research area to the department panel |
| 4. Check merit list | Selection uses the test, academic marks and interview |
| 5. Register | Pay the fee and finish document check |
The General DPET qualifying score is 25 out of 50 and the reserved category score is 23 out of 50. These are qualifying scores, not final seat scores. The interview and guide fit still decide the final list, so treat the score as the first gate.
| Category | Qualifying score | Round and year |
|---|---|---|
| General | 25/50 | DPET rule |
| SC/ST/OBC/EWS | 23/50 | DPET rule |
| NET, GATE, SLET or M.Phil. | Exempt from DPET | Interview still needed |

The page uses the SJCE campus legacy and JSS STU approval status, not a course rank, because a Ph.D. course rank is not published. AICTE approval is listed for SJCE. The university site also says SJCE became a constituent college of JSS STU from the 2016 to 2017 academic year.
| Ranking body | Year | Rank or grade |
|---|---|---|
| Collegedunia course rank | 2026 | Not published |
| NIRF course rank | 2026 | Not published |
| Approval | 2026 | AICTE approved campus |
Course work comes first, and thesis work comes after the research proposal is cleared. The entrance paper checks research method and the subject. A scholar works with a supervisor, attends reviews, writes the thesis and then faces the defense viva.
| Stage | What you do |
|---|---|
| Course work | Research method and subject study |
| Proposal review | Present the topic to the doctoral committee |
| Research period | Work with the guide and file progress reports |
| Thesis | Submit the thesis and face the viva |
Computer Applications listed 8 seats and three broad areas in the last admission policy. The areas are machine intelligence, data analytics and brain informatics. Check the current supervisor list before applying, because seat count can change.
| Quota | Seats |
|---|---|
| Computer Applications | 8 |
| Machine intelligence | Research area |
| Data analytics | Research area |
| Brain informatics | Research area |
