You need a masters degree in Mathematics or a close subject with 55% marks. Reserved category students need 50%. You also need VTU ETR, UGC NET, CSIR NET, GATE or an equal research test route. If your masters subject is not close, ask the department before applying.
| Requirement | What you need |
|---|---|
| Degree | Master's degree in Mathematics or a close subject |
| Marks | 55% for General, 50% for reserved category |
| Test route | VTU ETR, UGC NET, CSIR NET or GATE |
| Proposal | A research topic that matches a BMSIT guide |
VTU checks your application and test route first. You then present your research idea before the department. The college checks guide vacancy before final admission. You pay the research fee only after the merit list and document check.
| Step | What you do |
|---|---|
| 1. Fill VTU form | Upload degree marks, test proof and proposal |
| 2. Take VTU ETR | Write the test unless your national test route is accepted |
| 3. Attend interview | Present your research idea to the department panel |
| 4. Check guide vacancy | Confirm that a guide can take your topic |
| 5. Pay and report | Pay the fee and submit original papers |
The General score range starts at 50 and the reserved category score range starts at 45. These are working VTU ETR ranges for this page. The interview can still decide the seat if guide vacancy is low.
| Category | Closing score | Route and year |
