SINP Phd admissions 2018

Applications are invited to join the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) Ph.D. programme in Physics (Experimental and Theoretical) and Biophysical Sciences in the 2018-19 Session starting from August 2018.The programme starts with a pre-Ph.D. course work, popularly known as Post M.Sc. programme.

Eligibility for SINP Phd admissions

Physics: Masters’ degree in Physics.

Biophysical Sciences: Masters’ degree in Physics / Chemistry (with Life Science at 10+2 level) or Masters’ degrees in Life Sciences (with Chemistry and Mathematics at 10+2 level).

Students appearing in the final examinations for their Masters’ degrees during the current academic session may also apply. However, their admission will be made provisional till they successfully pass their Masters’ degrees in compliance with the cut-off requirement for SINP screening procedure (to be announced later).
