COGJET 2021: IIT Kanpur Invites Applications for Completely Online Entrance Examination

Online registrations for COGJET 2021, which will be held completely online this time, have begun and IIT Kanpur has invited applications from interested students. The Cognitive Science Joint Entrance Test is held for students seeking admission into postgraduate programs in cognitive science at IIT Kanpur, IIT Delhi, CBCS Allahabad, IIIT Hyderabad, and Panjab University Chandigarh. Students who have completed their three or four-year undergraduate degree, or those who expect to finish their degree by June 2021 are eligible to write the COGJET exam.

COGJET 2021 is being held completely online, and participating students may attempt the test from any location of their choice including their homes. However, interested students need to keep in mind that clearing the examination alone would not guarantee them admission into postgraduate programs in the participating institutions. IIT Kanpur and the other institutions involved may have additional eligibility conditions in addition to COGJET such as GATE or NET scores.
