JNCASR invites applications for admission to M.S./Ph.D programmes in Science and
Engineering for the session commencing from January 2018. Detailed information regarding eligibility criteria, fellowships and online application form are available at

JNCASR has a bright and diverse student body. At present, there are 291 students registered in the various academic programmes of the Centre. While the majority of these students are pursuing Ph. D. degree, we also have students enrolled in our Integrated Ph. D., M. S. / M. S. (Engg.) programmes. The student population at JNCASR is drawn from across the length and breadth of the country; in addition, we frequently have foreign students visiting the Centre under various exchange programmes.

The majority of new students joining the Centre during the August semester each year are admitted, based on their performance in interviews carried out in the early summer. Certain programmes also consider admitting students halfway through the academic year (i.e., at the start of the January semester). In order to be eligible for consideration in these interviews, students have to meet various academic criteria, as specified under the

various degree programmes listed in the menu page. Admission in these programmes is fairly competitive.

All students who are admitted to the Centre’s programmes receive stipends that are more than adequate to cover their tuition and living expenses, including hostel fees, etc

We generally expect students to take less than five years to complete a regular Ph. D. programme. Students who are admitted to the Integrated Ph. D. programme also get an M. S. degree, typically three years into their programme of study.

In addition to carrying out research, students take a combination of required and elective courses. The majority of courses are held on-campus, and taught by the Centre’s faculty members. However, students can also choose to attend a few courses at other scientific institutes in the Bangalore area. In addition to regular academic courses, there are also seminar courses, and we have recently introduced a course on scientific writing. After completing two years in their Ph. D. programmes, students have to pass an oral comprehensive examination, where they present and are quizzed about their research, as well as the material covered in their coursework.

Since 2002, the Centre is recognized as a “Deemed to be University” by the University Grants Commission, and students’ degrees are awarded directly by JNCASR. Since the inception of the Centre, 324 degrees have been awarded; these include 178Ph. D.’s, 87 M. S. degrees (Integrated Ph. D.), 55 M. S. (Engg.) and 4 M. Sc. (by research – Biological Sciences).

Students who are alumni of the Centre have gone on to enjoy successful academic careers, and are currently spread out across the world.

Research Programmes:

Evolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit

For more details follow the link (EIBU)

1. How do animals know what time of day it is?

2. How does neuronal inter-connectivity in the brain affect the daily rhythms of animals?

3. Why does a specific mortality rate stabilize some populations while destabilizing others?

4. How do patterns of resource availability and genetic relatedness affect the nature of animal social groups?

5. How do genetics and ecology interact to affect the course of evolutionary change?

These are some of the questions we are addressing, using a combination of approaches (laboratory experiments, computer simulations, field studies) and a range of techniques from quantitative genetics, reverse genomics, phenomics, behaviour studies, physiology, molecular biology, ecology, mathematics and statistics. Our experimental work involves the use of both insect (fruitflies, ants) and mammalian (mouse) model systems, and our laboratory facilities include the world’s largest locomotor activity monitoring setup. Field studies are carried out on fruitflies in Bangalore and on elephants in the Western Ghats. Much of the work we do is not done anywhere else in India. Prospective students or postdocs who would like to be involved in top-of-the-line research in chronobiology, evolutionary genetics, population ecology, wildlife biology, animal behaviour, and neurogenetics are most welcome to contact us.


Neuro Sciences Unit

For more details follow the link (NSU)

Currently, the research interests of the Unit include the study of synaptic function and its relationship with Intellectual Disability, neurogenetics of behavior in Drosophila, molecular and cellular mechanisms of human brain/mind disorders, biomaterials for interfacing sensory organs with soft analog devices and molecular neuro-oncology. The diversity in individual research themes of the faculty also reflect the widely differing types of scientific approaches and methodologies used in understanding how the nervous system functions and determine various behaviours of organisms, including humans.

Importance notice for prospective applicants:

  • Interviews for admitting students in respective Units will be held subject to the vacancies available.
  • Selection to the degree programmes of JNCASR are subject to excellent academic background score/percentile/rank obtained in national fellowship exams, recommendations of the referees and performance in the interview.
  • Mere fulfilling the essential qualifications / eligiiblity criteria will not entitle an applicant to be shortlisted for interview.
  • The committee shortlists the candiates for written test and/or interviews based on the criteria
  • The Units offering admission will be mentioned in the application form
