The Institute offers exciting opportunities to motivated and talented Bachelor’s degree holders with a keen sense of scientific enquiry for pursuing advanced research in frontier areas of Biological, Chemical, Physical and Mathematical Sciences leading to a Ph.D degree. Experience shows that students entering this program save nearly a year compared to those who go for a 2 year Master’s degree program elsewhere and then join the Institute for a Ph.D program. Each year, the Institute admits 50 to 60 students (15 to 18 in the Biological Sciences, 15 to 18 in the Chemical Sciences, 15 to 18 in the Physical Sciences and 12 to 15 in the Mathematical Sciences) under this program. The program consists of flexible course work, an internship-type laboratory training (wherein ample opportunities exist for the candidate to acquire basic experimental skills and familiarity with advanced techniques for research), a research project to demonstrate the attainment of a high degree of scientific ability followed by advanced research leading to a Ph.D thesis on a specific topic.
