Admission Requirement / Eligibility Criteria

Admission Requirements

Students who have studied at a University in the UK will require a minimum grade of 2:2 (second class lower)

Successful completion of a four-year undergraduate degree with 60%-70%, from a recognized Indian institution. Degrees from the main metropolitan universities, for example, Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai (Madras) Mumbai (Bombay), Ahmadabad, Pune, Bangalore, Nagpur, Kanpur, Kolkata (Calcutta), Lucknow, Jaipur, Jodhpur. A well-recognized college affiliated with a large metropolitan university will normally be considered for entry with 60% (and above). Due to the very stringent marking schemes at the University of Calcutta and the University of Pune (First Class degrees are normally given marks between 58%-62%), we might accept students with lower marks.
Students holding a three-year undergraduate degree may be accepted into some subject areas with grades of 60%-70% overall depending on the subject. However, this is subject to decision by the relevant admissions tutor.
