Official Notification for Admission to Integrated M.Sc.-PhD program @ Bose Institute & University of Calcutta
Integrated M.Sc.-Ph.D. Programs in Life Sciences and Physical Science 2016-17
Bose Institute is a research institute in the fields of Physics, Chemistry, Plant biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Animal physiology, Immunotechnology, Bioinformatics and Environmental science.
Applications are invited for admission to integrated M.Sc.-Ph.D. programs from motivated graduate students with good academic records.
About the program:
An Integrated M.Sc.-Ph.D. Program on life sciences and physical sciences(duration
approximately 6 years) has been introduced at the Bose Institute, Kolkata, in collaboration
with the Calcutta University. Often, students in their early career develop a tendency to
absorb and process a large amount of information at the expense of analytical abilities,
critical thinking and effective communication skills. The program has been designed to
address these deficiencies and orient the students towards research.
65% marks in class 10 and class 12 or equivalent exams
At least 70% marks in science subjects (average of class 10 and 12)
More than 60% marks in B.Sc. in any branch of science or B.Tech/BE/MBBS from any recognized institution in Life Sciences
Selection:
Not more than twenty (20) students in Life Sciences will be admitted on the basis of academic record and performance in eligibility tests and interview
Fellowship:
During the first two years (M.Sc.) all students will be offered a fellowship of Rs. 12,000.00 per month provided the student secures 60% marks on an average or more and attends at least 75% of the classes in each semester.
