Admission Details

The Admission Procedure is based on two main avenues, the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) and the TIFR entrance test (conducted by TIFR-Mumbai). Both selection methods are based on a written test and two interviews. The written tests are typically conducted every year in early December (TIFR test) and mid-February (JEST), with the interviews in March of the following year (TIFR) and late June (JEST). Besides these, NCRA also pre-selects Research Scholars from our Visiting Student's Research Programme, conducted every summer in Pune.
