MAHE Integrated BSc to MSc Programme: Eligibility, scope

Candidates with 7.5 CGPA or above and are in top 25% ranks in their class are eligible to apply for the BSc programme. While graduates with similar qualifications are also eligible to apply for PhD courses without requiring a master’s degree, which is in alignment with NEP 2020.

Moreover, candidates having 6.5 CGPA or above but are not selected for the research track can also apply for the UG programme. They can choose a specialisation in clinical neuroscience or computational neuroscience for a masters degree.

Graduates from the four year UG programme will be eligible to choose their career path in several roles including teaching and research in neuroscience departments, research associates in neurology, neurosurgery, and oncology.

The programme will also open gates for positions in pharmaceutical companies, medical devices, artificial intelligence (AI), and cognitive computing.
