A candidate who is yet to appear for the final year examination of the bachelor's degree or equivalent is eligible to apply. However, for such candidates (if selected), the final year/semester examination should have been completed by July 15, 2024, and the result of that examination must be declared by September 31, 2024, following which they must submit a copy of their mark sheet and degree certificate.

Fellowships

At Ahmedabad University, we believe that finances should not stand in the way of pursuing education. 

  • All students will receive tuition support of INR 75,000 per year.
  • Students needing additional financial assistance can opt for a Fellowship, under which they are required to undertake Teaching Assistantship under a faculty member assisting them in teaching. For students choosing the Fellowship option, the tuition support would increase to INR 1.25 lakh per year, thus reducing their tuition fees by 50% to INR 1.25 lakh per year.
