Extra Requirements for Some Programmes

  • Many universities may also ask for GRE scores for PG programmes.
  • Some programmes may ask for relevant work experience or research experience.
  • Verify the latest requirements on your chosen university official site.

My Advice

Shortlist universities first, then build a document checklist for each one. If you lack PCM at Class 12 or a related degree, check eligibility before you invest in applications.
