Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute (called RKMVERI hereinafter) is launching a unique Yoga programme with the description: 5-year Integrated (B.Sc. Hons. + M.Sc.) & (B.A. Hons. + M.A.) in Yoga (theory and practice) from the current academic year 2025-2026.

Eligibility criteria

1. Only male candidates will be admitted owing to lack of infrastructure for female candidates at present.
2. It is a fully residential programme in order to make it intensive and effective. Hostel accommodation will be provided—see details below.
3. Only limited seats (10-15) available.
4. Candidates should have secured minimum 60% aggregate (calculated on the basis of Madhyamik, Class 10 exam + WB Higher Secondary or equivalent Plus Two exam of a recognized Board/Council added together). Those with slightly lower percentage of marks may also apply and will be considered for admission depending on the availability of seats.
5. Candidates from any stream at the higher secondary level (plus two) (science or arts or any other) may apply. However, those coming from the science stream at the higher secondary level (plus two) will be admitted to the 5-year Integrated (B.Sc.Hons.+M.Sc.), while others from any other stream will be admitted to the 5-year Integrated (B.A.Hons.+M.A.). The decision of the RKMVERI authority is final in this matter.
6. While we prefer fresh candidates who have passed their Higher Secondary / Plus Two examination in 2025 or 2024, we are open to considering those who are slightly older. However, this relaxation is at the discretion of the authority.
7. Lateral entry/exit at any point as per NEP 2020 guidelines will be allowed.
