As of my last update in October 2023, here’s a general guide regarding DCRUSTM (Deenbandhu Chhotu Ram University of Science and Technology, Murthal) Ph.D. admissions, counseling schedules, lateral entry, and qualifications. However, for the most accurate and updated information, you should visit the official DCRUSTM website or contact the university directly.

A Master’s degree (M.Tech/M.E/M.Sc/M.A/MBA/M.Com or equivalent) with at least 55% marks (50% for SC/ST/OBC candidates) from a recognized university.

DCRUSTM does not typically offer lateral entry for Ph.D. programs. Candidates must follow the standard admission process.
However, candidates with prior research experience or M.Phil degrees may receive some relaxation in coursework requirements.
