Course Eligibility
1. The
candidates should have a minimum one year of working experience or should be currently
employed.
2. An
aspiring student should have a B.Tech/BE/MSc (Com Sc/IT or in related areas)/MCA/
ME/M.Tech or any equivalent degree.
3. At
least a 60% scored in the final marks of the eligible degree program or a minimum CGPA or
CPI of 6.5 on the scale of 0-10 with corresponding proportional requirements when the
scales are other than 0-10 (for example, 5.2 on a scale of 0-8).
4. In
