The Digital University of Kerala (DUK) has initiated the application process for postgraduate (PG) and PhD programs in digital technologies for the academic year 2024-2025.
This announcement presents a unique opportunity for aspiring candidates to pursue advanced studies in cutting-edge digital technologies, setting the stage for a rewarding academic and professional journey. Interested candidates are encouraged to visit the official website of DUK at duk.ac.in/admission/ to commence the application process.
The application window is open until May 15, 2024, providing candidates with ample time to complete their registrations and submit the necessary documents. To ensure a smooth application process, candidates are advised to review the eligibility criteria and admission requirements outlined by the university.
For candidates seeking admission to PG courses (excluding MBA and M.tech), the university offers two pathways for entrance: the Common University Entrance Test for Post Graduates (CUET-PG) or the Digital University Aptitude Test (DUAT). Conversely, candidates aspiring to pursue an MBA program can submit their CAT, KMAT, CMAT, NMAT, or GRE scores for consideration. Similarly, candidates interested in M.tech programs must provide their GATE scores, as it is a mandatory requirement for admission consideration.
It's imperative that candidates who have appeared in CUET-PG, CAT, KMAT, CMAT, NMAT, or GRE (for MBA) and GATE exams for M.tech register on the university website and submit their respective scorecards to complete their application process. This step ensures that candidates' academic achievements are accurately assessed, paving the way for fair and transparent admission decisions.
Prospective PhD students are also encouraged to apply, provided they possess a valid NET score in a relevant discipline or are willing to appear for the Digital University Research Aptitude Test (DRAT-2024). This comprehensive approach to admissions ensures that candidates from diverse academic backgrounds have the opportunity to pursue their research aspirations and contribute to the field of digital technologies.
In terms of application fees, candidates are required to pay Rs 100 if they belong to the general category, while candidates under SC, ST, or divyang categories are required to pay Rs 50. This nominal fee structure aims to facilitate equal access to higher education opportunities, fostering inclusivity and diversity within the student community.
