The notification gives only the total of thirteen. It does not print a category-wise (SC / BC / General) split, so do not assume any seat is reserved for you or closed to you.

Work out your exact age on 20 November 2026, the last date of submission, not on the day you post the form. The notice says “SC/BC etc.” and does not list other categories, so if you are outside those, check with the department before you rely on any relaxation.

| Documents | Show original certificates; also bring certified true copies to be submitted to the University |
The notification names only the interview as the selection stage and gives no exam pattern, and the form asks for a short note on what you can contribute to the project. No separate interview letter will be sent, so the date and time above are your call letter. No TA / DA is paid for attending.

| False information | If any detail is found false, incomplete or you are found ineligible at any time before or after the interview, candidature or appointment may be cancelled without notice |

The form ends with a self-declaration that everything you wrote is true and complete, so double-check every entry before you sign it. A small mistake that looks harmless today can be treated as a false statement later.
