The minimum qualification to join the courses would be pass in the SSLC.  The University has been offering a regular postgraduation course (M.Sc.) in Human Consciousness and Yogic Sciences at the University at Mangalagangotri for over a decade.  It was the pioneer university in the State to offer a M.Sc. course in yoga with yoga therapy.

The Vice-Chancellor said that Govardhan Mehta, former director, Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, who visited the university campus last week, showed keen interest in the M.Sc. course in yoga offered by the university and suggested to set up a full-fledged laboratory to study the biological changes in body after yoga scientifically.
