LUCKNOW: The admission process for Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) seats at Lucknow University (LU) is likely to begin this week. The university may announce the number of vacant PhD seats by Wednesday, after which the admission process will start. Most of the departments have submitted the details regarding vacant seats in them. The university is likely to have about 300 seats in 40 departments.
LU will rope in the National Informatics Centre (NIC) for developing the software for PhD admissions.
Vice-chancellor SB Nimse held a meeting with admission coordinators last week to finalize the details of PhD admission process. For the vacant seats, candidates holding Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) will be given preference on the vacant seats. In departments where the number of JRF applications would be more than the vacant seats, entrance test for JRF candidates would be held. In departments where JRF applications would be less than the vacant seats, non-JRF candidates would be eligible for admission through entrance test.
