I am from msc medical microbiology background. I want to pursue Phd in Microbiology,Cell biology or Immunology. Pls let me know whether I can apply any of the colleges with my score.
Hello, p44,
Please do let me know the maximum no. of students that appeared in GATE XL this year. Was it above 1 lakh??
You have a great percentile, but the score is lesser for most IITs. If they release a separate cut-off for GATE XL, then you can hope for calls for most IITs given your high percentile.
You should vouch for NUS (given the high percentile again).
If GATE score is the criterion, then IIT Hyderabad and Guwahati can be tried.
Do apply at NUS though!
