SAHA INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR PHYSICS
Department of Atomic Energy, Govt. of India
Intake for August 2023
· Students are invited to apply for the Ph D programme of SINP in Physics and Biophysical Sciences starting from August 2023 (2023-24 Session).
· The curriculum starts with a pre-Ph D course work, called Post-M.Sc. programme.
· For Physics stream, the Post M.Sc. Courses are channelled through two streams: Theoretical Physics and Experimental Physics.
Session will start from August 2023.
· Eligibility
Physics: Master’s degree in Physics.
Biophysical Sciences: Master’s degree in Physics or Chemistry (with Life Science at 10+2 level) or Master’s degree in Life Sciences (with Chemistry and Mathematics at 10+2 level) or
M.Tech. in Biotechnology (with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics and Life Science at 10+2 level).
Openings for Ph.D. may be available in the following broad areas:
· Application procedure
The eligible students can apply for the programmes only through online application
Any other details will be announced in this web page.
· Selection procedure
A shortlisting will be made based on previous academic records of the applicants, their performances in nation-wide screening tests which are listed below:
