What is it like to be an integrated PhD student at JNCASR in Bangalore? How is life at JNCASR?

Barsha Roy,

25 Nov 21

The campus at JNCASR is smaller when compared to other institutes, but it has a very welcoming ambience.

The pressure depends on the course and also on the individual.
The facilities provided here are at equal standards with some institutions of international repute.
Here, you get to learn and perform techniques which are lacking in most of the institutions.
Many costly reagents and expensive machinery are used by students.
They are expected to be responsible enough to utilize these with care.
The students here are brilliant in all aspects.

Students here are hardworking and determined to fulfill their goals. For this the college provides proper guidance and exposure required by them. So, it is recommended that you choose JNCASR if you are confident enough to match with their level.

Should I join IISC or JNCASR for integrated MSC-PHD in biology?

Seenu Arora

Both are excellent institutions, but the experience will differ between the two. Whereas IISc is much larger and has a more vibrant student community, the smaller batches in JNCASR allow for more attention and a better chance of getting into at least one of their preferred labs.

IISC is smack dab in the middle of a commercial area (well, actually, the commercial areas grew around IISc, but let's not get into that). JNCASR is less centrally located and more of a sleepy campus. It's a completely different story after the second year when the pressure is intense and lab work can be extremely demanding.

There are no holidays for students (not even Sundays or national holidays like the 15th of August or the 26th of January, but there is a flag hoisting event so you get off work for at least an hour) and most P.I.s do not allow paid leave of more than two weeks per year. This is not to say that there isn't any fun on campus. Most of the rules governing on-campus life are lax, and the guards and staff are laid-back and don't make a fuss when asked to overlook a few things.

Can anybody help me with an MS PhD interview preparation for the engineering mechanics unit at JNCASR?

Sambridhi Ghose

26 Nov 21

A few years back, my brother applied for the MS program in Engineering Mechanics at JNCASR. The written test was conceptual. They aim to test your mathematical skills and fluid mechanics knowledge. Solving the Mathematics portion can be easy if you know the proof of all concepts. There were also questions regarding Heat Transfer.

The Interview will depend on what you have written in the test. They may ask to prove what you have written in the paper. They will ask you to choose a topic of your choice and ask questions about it. They will ask you about your B.Tech project.

What is the pattern of questions for the written interview at JNCASR for the Integrated PhD (Biological Sciences) program?

Snighdhanjan Kar

26 Nov 21

My sister applied for the integrated Ph.D. program in Biological Sciences at JNCASR, a few years back. They mostly asked her practical based questions in the interview. She was given problem sets, aptitude questions, and analytical questions. Most of the questions are aimed to judge your analytical skills. Rather than memorizing try to understand the concepts.

What is it that JNCASR looks for when selecting a student for SRFP?

Sudipta Ghose

26 Nov 21

My brother got selected for the JNCASR SRFP program a few years back, for Chemical Sciences. He had a decent GPA and average research background. He wrote his application in simple language expressing why he want to pursue the program. Based on my brother’s experience, I will say the institute don’t select student based just on their GPA. In your application, state clearly why you want to pursue science. If you want to apply for the summer program, make sure you state your passion for science.

How do I apply for the JNCASR integrated PhD program?

Ashmita Ghose

Here is how you can apply for the integrated Ph.D. program at JNCASR.

You can apply for the Int. P.hD. program from the official website.
Once shortlisted, you will need to go through the written test and interview.
Prepare well for the interview and perform well.
They will announce the result after 15-20 days.

You can also take IIT-JAM. It increases your chances of getting selected at reputed institutes.

Is JNCASR good for an MSc in Chemistry?

Sandipan Mukharjee

26 Nov 21

The general coursework for M.Sc Chemistry at JNCASR is not the best. But the research interface makes the course worthwhile. All the faculty members of the department are actively involved in research. They regularly publish in well-reputed journals. The research quality and the infrastructural facilities offered are great.

If you want a rigorous core curriculum, then you should first consider state universities followed by IITs. JNCASR is also a decent option for pursuing your M.Sc Chemistry degree. It offers specialization in either Material Chemistry or Chemical Biology. If research is your long-term goal, then choosing JNCASR Bangalore will be the best option.

What is the syllabus for the written examination for Integrated Ph.D. in Biological Science at JNCASR for the shortlisted candidates?

Bisakha Mitra

26 Nov 21

The written test taken for Integrated Ph.D. in Biological Science at JNCASR is mostly conceptual. If you paid attention during your bachelor’s lecture, then you can easily answer a large part of the questions asked. There will be questions from the syllabus of CBSC class 11-12 and a basic B.Sc in any branch of Biology at a central university.
