Joint Entrance Screening Test 2011 (JEST 2011)
The Institute of Mathematical Sciences
JEST Registration site wiil be up on December 3rd 2010 evening.
Examination will be held on 20th February, 2011.
For Ph.D. Programmes in Physics / Theoretical Computer Science
A common qualifying test for admissions to the Ph.D. Programmes in Physics in the below listed research institutions in India and Theoretical Computer Science in some of them. Qualifying in JEST does not entitle an applicant to get a Research Fellowship. Using the JEST results, each institute will call a limited number of candidates for its further selection procedure depending on its requirements. All selected candidates will receive Research Fellowships from the respective institutes.
