3.1 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 years Master's
degree program elsewhere and then join the Institute for a Ph D program. Each year, the Institute
admits 42 students (12 in Biological Sciences, 12 in Chemical Sciences, 10 in Physical Sciences and 8
in 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 attainment of a high degree of scientific ability followed by advanced research leading to a
Ph D thesis on a specific topic.
