Candidates will be short-listed for interview based on written test marks, CV and Scientific Writeup. -For I-Ph.D./M.Sc. : Bachelors in any Basic Science. -For Ph.D. program In TClS, M.Sc. in Physics, Chemistry or Biology.
The TIFR Nationwide Entrance Examination (GS 2015) for Biology is also called the Joint
Graduate Entrance Examination for Biology and Interdisciplinary Life Sciences (JGEEBILS).
See http://www.nebs.res.in/JGEEBILS All participating institutions use the score from this examination, but each institution has its own admission procedure. Students need to apply separately to each institution that uses the JGEEBILS score.
ADMISSION PROCEDURE: The admissions procedure (in all subjects except Science
Education) consists of a written test at one of the several nationwide centres followed by
interviews of short listed candidates. The written test will be held on Sunday, December 14, 2014 in the following cities: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Bhubaneshwar, Chandigarh, Chennai, Cochin, Delhi, Guwahati, Haldwani, Hyderabad, Indore, Jammu, Jaipur, Kanpur, Kolkala, Madurai, Mangalore, Mumbai, Nagpur, Patna, Pune, Srinagar, Varanasi and Visakhapatnam.
Interviews: For information on subsequent interviews, please check our website.
GATE score based applications In Systems Science (Including Communications and Applied Probability): Engineering students with exceptional performance in GATE examination of 2013-2015 in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering, Mathematics may apply for the Ph.D. program without appearing for the TIFR Entrance Test. The link for GATE score based applications will be made available on our website on February 2, 2015. Last date lor applying will be two weeks after the GATE 2015 results are displayed on their website. In case a student takes the Systems Science TIFR Entrance Test and also submits a GATE score based application, the better 01 the two performances will be considered.
In addition to the admissions through this nationwide examination in December, some admissions in Physics based on GATE / NET / JEST scores are also possible. Details of these admission procedures will be available on the websites of TIFR Mumbai, ICTS, TCIS and NCRA, separately at appropriate times.
