Admission relies on GATE scores, with cutoffs varying annually and by category. For PhD programs, candidates need a minimum CGPA of 8 from their MTech, plus an interview. Master's students receive a monthly stipend of 12,400 INR, while PhD scholars get 31,000 INR. To retain the master's stipend, maintaining a CGPA of 7 is necessary.

Hostel fees are 10,500 INR per semester, and mess charges range from 4,000 to 5,000 INR monthly, which must be paid separately as they're not covered by stipends.
