BE/ BTech/ BCA/ BSc students can also apply for the integrated MSc-PhD
programme, see below. In addition, talented final year B.Sc. and first
year M.Sc. (in Physics / Electronics / Astronomy / Applied Mathematics)
students may also apply to be pre-selected for research scholarship at
IUCAA. Similar pre-selection is open at SNBNCBS for candidates who also
have specialization in Bio-Physics, Optics and Opto-Electronics. At IPR,
candidates should have a Master's degree in Physics, Engineering Physics
or Applied Physics.
Theoretical Computer Science : M.Sc./ M.E. / M.Tech. / M.C.A.
in Computer Science and related disciplines, and should be interested
in the mathematical aspects of computer science.
Integrated M.Sc./M.Tech. – Ph.D. Programme
At HRI, IISER Pune, NCRA-TIFR and SNBNCBS, candidates with a Bachelor’s
degree will also be considered for the integrated M.Sc. – Ph.D.
programme in Physics.
At IMSc, graduates with B.Sc. / B.E. / B. Tech. degree will also be considered
for admission to M.Sc. (Research) programme in Physics and Theoretical
Computer Science, as part of an integrated Ph.D. programme. At SNBNCBS,
graduates with B.Sc. (Physics/Mathematics) / B.E. / B.Tech. degree will
be considered for the integrated Post-B.Sc.-Ph.D. programme in subject
areas mentioned above.
At IIA, graduates with B.Sc. (Physics / Mathematics) / B.E. / B.Tech.
in Electrical / Instrumentation / Engineering Physics / Electronics and

How to Apply :
Candidates for Physics / Theoretical Computer Science can apply for
JEST-2012
ON-LINE through www.jest.org.in. Although ON-LINE applications
are preferred, for those who have difficulty in accessing internet, hard
copy of the application form can be requested by writing to The JEST
Coordinator, Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
560012. Email applications and photocopies of printed applications
will not be accepted.
Candidates seeking admission to any of the institutes for a Ph. D. Programme
in Physics / Theoretical Computer Science may appear for JEST (written
test in Physics or Theoretical Computer Science as applicable) at the
test center chosen by the candidate.
