Admissions
The admission process for the Epidemiology program at The University Of Trans Disciplinary Health Sciences And Technology Bangalore is highly competitive and designed to identify students with strong academic backgrounds and a passion for public health.
Admissions are primarily through the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced or the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET). Students must have completed their 12th grade or equivalent with a minimum of 60% in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) or Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (PCM). Additionally, students must have passed English as a subject.
The application process begins with the submission of an online application form through the university's official portal. Students must provide detailed information about their academic background, extracurricular activities, and personal interests. The application form must be completed by the specified deadline, which is typically in April or May.
After the initial screening, shortlisted candidates are invited for a counseling session, where they must present their academic records, personal statements, and any relevant achievements. The counseling session is conducted by a panel of faculty members and administrative staff.
Final seat allocation is based on the candidate's performance in the qualifying examination and their preferences for different programs. The university follows a merit-based system, where higher scores in the qualifying examination lead to better chances of admission.
