THE PhD/Integrated PhD/M.Sc PROGRAMME
AT THE NATIONAL CENTRE FOR BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES, BANGALORE
AND DBS, MUMBAI
ADMSSION FOR THE ACADEMIC YEAR 2007 - 2008
The National Centre for Biological Sciences is a part of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), which operates under the aegis of the Department of Atomic Energy. The Department of Biological Sciences (DBS) is located at TIFR in Mumbai. Both units have been set-up with a mandate to pursue basic research in the frontier areas of biology.
SELECTION PROCEDURE
All applicants are required to take a written test conducted by NCBS-DBS on December 10, 2006 at 9.30 a.m. The test will be extremely basic and cover topics in mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology. There is no specified syllabus, nor do we give out sample question papers.
Those who qualify on this test will be sent forms for the next phase of the selection procedure. Performance in the written test, together with the information requested in the additional application material will be used in drawing up a short list of candidates for interviews at Bangalore in May/June 2007.
The interview will be held in two stages. A good performance in the preliminary interview will qualify the candidate for the final interview to be held over the next two days. The DBS and NCBS admissions processes for the PhD programmes are common upto the preliminary interview stage. There will be separate interview panels for DBS and NCBS in the final interviews. Candidates may choose to face either or both panels, which make independent decisions on whom to offer admission to their Ph.D. programmes. It is possible that some candidates will be offered admission both to DBS and to NCBS. Last year NCBS offered admission to 10 candidates for PhD and 5 candidates to the Integrated PhD. DBS offered admission to 7 candidates for PhD and 5 candidates to the Integrated Ph.D. Programme.
