M.Sc.

In general, NBU conducts its own entrance exam for admission into M.Sc programs. Except for a few M.Sc programs, all other M.Sc programs by NBU require a score obtained through NBU's own entrance exam. These entrance exams will usually be subjects for candidates based on the syllabus from their undergraduate studies.

Moreover, some admission programs may also be based on the results of the following national or state-level examinations:

GATE (for M.Sc in Physics or any other related course)
CSIR NET/JRF (for the research-based M.Sc course)
WBJEE (West Bengal Joint Entrance Examination) (in some cases).
It must be checked with respect to the particular concerned M.Sc programme as certain programs may have some specific conditions or accept certain other entrance examination scores. Therefore, all further details regarding the entrance examinations and the eligibility requirements for these examinations are to be found on the official portal for admissions of NBU.

Minimum marks for 2023 admission in M.Sc programs, generally depending on the course and the category of the applicant, would be followed mainly by NBU. Here follows the basic eligibility conditions:

Eligibility: Almost all M.Sc programs (Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, other sciences; such as) generally requires Bachelor's (B.Sc) type degree preceding that with an aggregate of at least 50-55% marks applicable across the disciplines. The specific conditions may vary by departments.

Merit-Based Admission: Admission into M.Sc courses is done on preceding modalities according to student performance from previous degrees course-wise; above exams may include some courses where NBU may conduct a separate entrance exams.

Category: Cutoffs getting lower even slightly for reserved category candidates (SC/ST/OBC) may define some relaxations.

The cutoff for M.Sc. admission in 2023 at MLSU (Mohanlal Sukhadia University) will vary according to each specialisation and the number of candidates. Traditionally, cutoff for admission into an M.Sc. degree would depend on :-

i. The aggregate performance of the candidate in the qualifier exam (B.Sc.).
ii. The category of the candidate (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.).
iii. The seat availability and student demand for a particular course.
Though, the current available M.Sc. cutoff for admission into various courses will be announced by MLSU during the intake, in general terms it is assumed that for most streams the cutoff would be around 50-60%, though specific specialties usually have the demanding ones.

Cross-check for the authenticity at the MLSU official portal or at the admission portal, as the cutoff list will be published after the entrance examination or the merit list is declared.

As it is generally, M.Sc. in some way is better than B.Sc. with respect to the placement opportunities in Mohanlal Sukhadia University:

Research & Development: M.Sc. is a prerequisite for bringing in employees into the research, teaching, or highly technical jobs, not easily accessible to B.Sc. alumni.

Industry Demand: Most industries and research organizations prefer people with more advanced degrees like M.Sc. those who should be applying specialty knowledge in their field of work. Moreover, B.Sc. placements are oftentimes basics and entry levels.

However, placements also differ according to your area, field of targeting industry, and individual efforts.
