Are
you a physics lover, who wants to seek carrier in astronomy then here is good
news for you. Government of India conducts an exam called as J.E.S.T (JOINT
ENTRANCE SCREENING TEST) which offers PhD and integrated PhD courses in Physics
and Theoretical Computer Science. By taking J.E.S.T you can get admission to
various institutes all over India.JEST consist of two rounds, first one is main
exam .It is objective type. After cracking the main exam candidates can apply for
various institutes. Interviews are taken by different institutes accordingly. After
selection candidates are awarded scholarship in concerned programmes.
Now
let us talk about eligibility for J.E.S.T. Different institutes offer different
programmes and have different eligibility criteria.
Eligibility:
PhD
Programme in Physics:
For
applying to this programme candidate must have completed MSc in Physics or
M.E/M.Tech in related discipline. At IIA MSc in various disciplines like
Mathematics / Applied Physics / Applied Mathematics / Optics and Photonics /
Instrumentation / Electronics is also considered.
Integrated
PhD in Physics:
This
programme includes Master’s and Ph.D. A candidate holds B.E. or B.Tech. Degree
will be eligible for consideration at IISc, IMSc, IUCAA, JNCASR, NCRA-TIFR RRI,
IISER Mohali, IISER Pune, IISER Thiruvananthapuram and SNBNCBS.
Research
