Invitation to pursue Ph.D. programme in specialized areas of Physical, Chemical, Life and Engineering Sciences at Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology, Indore

Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore, was founded in 1984 by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) for pursuit of R&D in the areas of Accelerators, Lasers and related technologies. Since then, the Centre has set up two Synchrotron Radiation Sources: Indus-1 & Indus-2, which are national research facilities, and many smaller accelerators for radiation processing applications. The Centre has excellent cryogenic facilities as well as state-of-the-art equipment for low temperature physics measurements. A variety of laser systems, particularly high power lasers, have been built and are being used for a wide range of applications. These include gas lasers (like copper vapour lasers, CO2 lasers), solid state lasers (like – diode pumped solid state lasers, semiconductor lasers, high power lasers) for the studies in the areas like –bio-medical applications of lasers, laser materials processing, and laser-plasma interaction. The Centre also has long-standing program in the areas of low-temperature physics, material science, cold atom physics, non-linear optics, opto-electronics, nano-science, micro-electro-mechanical systems, additive manufacturing, etc. For detailed information, please visit our website: http://www.rrcat.gov.in

RRCAT is a Constituent Institute of the “Homi Bhabha National Institute” (HBNI), a Deemed to be University with NAAC “A” grade. RRCAT invites students with appropriate qualifications to pursue Ph.D. program in various specialized areas of Physical, Chemical, Life and Engineering Sciences as listed above. As per the rules of HBNI, the Ph.D. program consists of course work (equivalent to at least 6 credits for students joining after M.Tech. degree and 60 credits for students joining after M.Sc. degree) and research work leading to Ph.D. thesis. The Ph.D. 2017 program will commence on 1stAugust, 2017. DAE Research Fellowships will be offered to those selected for the pursuit of Ph.D. The present fellowship amount is ₹ 25,000 per month for the first two years (as Junior Research Fellow) and ₹ 28,000 per month for the subsequent three years (as Senior Research Fellow), subject to satisfactory yearly progress.

Eligibility:

Qualification :

For Life Sciences : M.Sc. degree in Life Sciences/ Biotechnology with a minimum of 60% overall marks, and must have qualified CSIR-UGC NET (December 2015 and June/December 2016): JRF, not lecturership)/ BET-2016/ GATE (i.e. GATE-2015, GATE-2016 and GATE-2017). Candidates having M.Sc. degree in Botany/ Agricultural Science background are not eligible.

For Chemical Sciences: M.Sc. degree in Chemistry with a minimum of 60% overall marks, and must have qualified CSIR-UGC NET (December 2015 and June/December 2016): JRF, not lecturership)/ GATE (i.e. GATE-2015, GATE-2016 and GATE-2017).

Those applicants who are completing the qualifying degree in summer of 2017 can also apply, provided they have minimum of 60% overall marks in the completed semesters. If selected, the final degree mark sheet should be submitted by 1st November, 2017. Continuation in the Ph.D. programme will be subject to the candidate obtaining minimum 60% marks overall (converted to percentage as per the concerned university’s rules). 5 year integrated M.S. (of IISERs) will be treated at par with 5 year integrated M.Sc.

The selection of the students for the Ph.D. programme will be a two-step process:-

  • Screening of the applications, followed by
  • an interview of the short-listed candidates by the Selection Committees.

For Chemical Sciences, the screening will be done on the basis of applicant’s score/rank in CSIR-UGC NET and/or GATE.

For Life Sciences, the screening will be done on the basis of applicant’s score/rank in CSIR-UGC NET/ BET/ GATE.

The short-listed Chemical and Life Sciences candidates shall be called for interview to be conducted tentatively during 8th – 9th June, 2017 at RRCAT, Indore.

All the outstation applicants called for interview will be paid to and fro sleeper class train fare (on production of printed tickets) by the shortest route or the actual fare, whichever is less. This is subject to the verification of their eligibility from the original documents before the interview.
