Other equivalent branches and dual specialisations are not automatically accepted; the degree title must match the disciplines listed in the advertisement.

The advertisement specifies ₹1,000 plus GST (₹1,180) for applicable UR/OBC-NCL/EWS applicants. SC, ST, PwBD and Ex-Servicemen candidates are exempt under the stated conditions.
