Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research - [JNCASR]

With faculty and students from diverse areas of science and engineering, the research undertaken at JNCASR is varied and interdisciplinary in nature. JNCASR draws students into its Ph.D., Integrated Ph.D. and M. Sc. programmes from across the length and breadth of the country. Students are admitted in the August and January semesters and their selection is through a highly competitive process. Our programmes are designed to enable the students to meet the challenges of the future society. At JNCASR, students enjoy the benefit of active discussions on their research areas in the form of annual work presentations.

The collaborative nature of work with collaborators from both within and outside of the country, along with the seminars conducted on a regular basis with speakers from all over the world, provides students the opportunities to connect with the global network of scientists. The strategic location of JNCASR in Bangalore, being in close proximity to the other institutes of eminence like NCBS, IISc, also provides ample opportunities through course work and workshops, to broaden their outlook on futuristic areas of research. The Centre hosts a number of outreach programmes for young aspiring students, covering even the less-privileged regions of the country.
