Category-A
(Those who have already completed M.Sc.)
The candidate must have obtained a minimum of 60% marks in Master of Science (M.Sc.)Degree from a recognized University in one of the following disciplines.
a) Physics or Materials Science: Mathematics/Numerical Methods must be one of the subjects studied at the M.Sc. level and Chemistry as an ancillary subject up to B.Sc. level.
b) Chemistry: Physics and Mathematics must be studied as ancillary subjects up to B.Sc. level.
Category-B
(Those who have already completed B.E./B.Tech../ B.S. or B.Sc. Engineering/ B.Sc. [Tech.] from a recognized University)
The candidate must have obtained a minimum of 60% marks in one of the engineering disciplines given below: (i) Chemical Engineering (ii) Computer Science & Engineering (iii) Electronics
Engineering (ECE) (iv) Electrical and Instrumentation Engineering (v)Mechanical Engineering (vi) Metallurgical Engineering.
Category-C
Candidates in the final year/semester of M.Sc./B.E./B.Tech./B.S. or B.Sc. Engineering / .Sc.[Tech])
The candidate should be in the final year/semester of M.Sc./B.E./B. Tech./B.S. or B.Sc.Engineering/B.Sc.[Tech] Degree course in recognized Universities in one of the disciplines as mentioned above in Category-A and Category-B. Such candidates should have scored marks above 60% is each previous semester/year and minimum aggregate of 60% in B.Sc. level [in the case of M.Sc. candidates]. In case such candidates eventually join the Centre, they shall have acquired aggregate marks of 60% in the qualifying degrees. Relevant certificates to this effect should be submitted at the time of joining the Centre.
Note: Candidates with M.E and M.Tech degrees can also apply, however they should have
secured 60% and above in the qualifying degree (B.E/ BTech/ M.Sc)
Candidates in all the categories should have had consistently good academic record.
Fellowship:
The selected candidates will be initially taken as Junior Research Fellows (JRF) and will be paid a stipend of Rs.12,000/- per month (consolidated). The fellowship will be provided initially for a period of two years. Continuation of the fellowship is subject to satisfactory performance and review at the end of each year. On satisfactory performance, the tenure of Fellowship will be further extended and upgraded to Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) from the third year onwards with a stipend of Rs.14,000/- per month (consolidated). The
total period of the fellowship shall in no case exceed five years. They are entitled for contingency grant including book allowance of Rs.15,000/- per year.
Last date: on or before 21st May, 2010
