Graduate Students

Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc) Chennai offers Graduate Student Program to the students interested in pursuing a Ph.D. degree in mathematics / theoretical computer sciences / theoretical physics. Students having post graduate qualification in physics / mathematics / computer science or graduate degree in engineering can apply for admission into this program. The selection is normally made in the month of June every year. Students who have under graduate degree in science but have a keen interest in pursuing research in mathematics / theoretical physics / theoretical computer science can also apply. Such students get admission into Integrated M.Sc. Ph.D. programme.

The admission to graduate students programme is made on the basis of Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) which is generally held in the month of February every year. This test is jointly conducted by 12 research institutes of the country. The notification for JEST is issued generally in the month of October / November every year.
