A total of 122 candidates applied for the Ph.D. entrance exam JWURET-1. Out of these 90 appeared in the examination and 32 candidates remained absent.

Political Science, Urdu and Commerce – participated in it.
On the successful and peaceful completion of the examination, the Vice-Chancellor of the University Dr. Anjila Gupta has said higher education cannot be imagined without research. When it comes to the participation of women, it is known that there is still a lot to be done in the field of research. In a recent statement in the Rajya Sabha, the Government of India has said the participation of the ‘half the population’ in research with 56,747 research scholars in the whole of India is only 16.6 percent. She also clarified that it is very less than many advanced countries.
On 22nd June, immediately after the completion of almost one year of the functional nature of the university and my appointment, the first research entrance examination was completed. With this step, the university has started providing a platform for research, so that the women of Jharkhand enrolled in higher education will be able to move towards research. She added It is my priority that the university should soon develop into a centre of research.
