Goa University (GU) is set to launch nine integrated master's programs in the academic year 2026-27 for students who have completed Class XII in the science stream. The programs include specializations in earth sciences, chemical sciences, physics, and life sciences, with options for minors in artificial intelligence, wildlife biology, or computational biology. Each program will accommodate 50 students, with 15 seats reserved for local applicants and 35 seats primarily for those from outside Goa, reflecting a strategy to balance local intake and generate resources. Notably, students from outside the state will be charged double the fees compared to local students, while some seats will also be available for international students at USD rates. Applications for these programs are open until May 10, and candidates awaiting results from Class XII exams are also eligible to apply. Selection will be based on a merit list prepared by the university.
