·       Allied disciplines in BE/B.Tech acceptable under the above disciplines are mentioned in the FAQs.

·       Where a University mentions only CGPA in its Degree Certificate or Consolidated Mark‑sheet, then the CGPA so mentioned should necessarily meet DOS/ISRO’s eligibility criteria. ➝ Conversion of CGPA into percentage of marks is not permitted to determine eligibility, regardless of whether any conversion formula is prescribed by the University/Institution concerned.

1. If CGPA/Percentage for Graduation and Post‑Graduation is mentioned separately → Graduation level score will be reckoned.
2. If a common CGPA/Percentage for the entire course is mentioned → Final CGPA/Percentage for the entire course will be reckoned.
