Admission to this kind of course is usually through UGC NET and a university's own test. Reserved-category candidates generally get a relaxation in the minimum marks. Check CMR University's prospectus for the exact cut-off this year.

In most years, admission follows these steps:

1. Check that you meet the eligibility above and register for the entrance exam in time.
2. Take UGC NET and a university's own test and keep your scorecard.
3. Apply to CMR University on its website (www.cmr.edu.in) or through the enquiry form on this page, and take part in counselling if a state or central body runs it.
4. Once you are offered a seat, verify your documents (marksheets, ID, category certificate if any) and pay the admission fee to confirm it.
