JNCASR invites applications for admission to M.S. (Engg. / Research) / PhD Programmes in Sciences and Engineering for the session starting from January 2019. Detailed information about eligibility standards, fellowships and online application form can be found at www.jncasr.ac.in/admit
JNCASR has a bright and diverse student body. At the moment, there are 291 students enrolled in the several academic programmes of the Centre. While the vast majority of those pupils are pursuing Ph. D. degree, we also have students registered in our Integrated Ph. D., M. S. / M. S. (Engg.) programmes. The student population at JNCASR is drawn from throughout the length and breadth of this nation; additionally, we often have overseas students visiting the Centre under different exchange programmes.
Nearly all new students
joining the Centre throughout the August semester every year are admitted, according to their performance in interviews carried out in the early summer. Certain programmes additionally consider acknowledging students halfway through the academic year (i.e., at the onset of the January semester). So as to qualify for consideration in these interviews, students need to meet different academic criteria, as stated under a variety of degree programmes listed from the menu page. Admission in these programs is fairly competitive.All students That Are admitted to the Centre’s programmes get stipends Which Are more than sufficient to cover their tuition and living expenses, such as hostel fees, etc
We generally expect students to take less than five years to finish a regular Ph. D. programme. Students that are admitted to the Integrated Ph. D. programme also get an M. S. degree, typically 3 years in their programme of study.
Along with 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 may also opt to attend a few courses at other scientific institutes in the Bangalore area. Along with regular academic courses, additionally, there are seminar courses, and we’ve introduced a course on scientific writing. After finishing two years in their Ph. D. programmes, pupils must pass an oral comprehensive examination, in which they are present and so are quizzed about their research, in addition to 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 are given; these include 178Ph. D.’s, 87 M. S. degrees (Integrated Ph. D.), 55 M. S. (Engg.) And 4 M. Sc. (by research – Biological Sciences).
Pupils that are alumni of the Centre have gone on to enjoy successful academic careers, and are spread out throughout 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 can neuronal inter-connectivity from the brain affect the everyday rhythms of animals?
3. Why does a particular mortality rate stabilize some populations while destabilizing others?
4. How can patterns of resource accessibility and genetic relatedness affect the nature of animal social groups?
5. How can genetics and ecology interact to impact the path of evolutionary change?
These are some of the questions we’re addressing, employing a combination of approaches (lab experiments, computer simulations, field studies) and a range of techniques from qualitative genetics, reverse genomics, phenomics, behaviour studies, physiology, molecular biology, ecology, math and statistics. Our experimental work requires the use of both insect (fruit flies, ants) and mammalian (mouse) model systems, and our lab facilities include the world’s largest locomotor activity monitoring setup. Field studies are carried out on fruit flies in Bangalore and on elephants in the Western Ghats. Much of the work we do isn’t done everywhere else in India. Prospective students or postdocs who’d like to get involved in top-of-the-line research in chronobiology, evolutionary genetics, population ecology, wildlife biology, animal behaviour, and neurogenetics are welcome to contact us.
Neuro Sciences Unit
For more details follow the link (NSU)
Right now, the research interests of this Unit include the study of synaptic function and its relationship with Intellectual Disability, neurogenetics of behaviour in Drosophila, molecular and cellular mechanisms of human brain/mind disorders, biomaterials for interfacing sensory organs with soft analogue devices as well as molecular neuro-oncology. The diversity in individual research themes of the faculty also reflect the widely different kinds of scientific approaches and methods utilized in understanding how the nervous system functions and determine many 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 is subject to exceptional academic background score/percentile/rank obtained in national fellowship exams, recommendations of the referees and performance at the interview.
- Mere fulfilling the vital qualifications/eligibility standards won’t require an applicant to be shortlisted for interview.
- The committee shortlists the candidates for written evaluation or interviews based on the standards
- The Units offering admission will be mentioned in the application type
Last date for submission of filled-in application: 22 November 2018
