Do we get opportunity to go abroad for phd after doing bhms in iiser, and how? Do we have to apply ourselves or there's some scholarship from the iiser?

Hello,

Yes, after doing BS-MS from IISER, you can go abroad for a PhD. You need to apply yourself to foreign universities. Many universities require exams like GRE and TOEFL/IELTS.

Some IISERs offer support through recommendation letters, research experience, and guidance. There are also scholarships like Fulbright, DAAD, and university-specific funding.

IISER itself may not provide a direct scholarship for a PhD abroad, but research internships and fellowships during BS-MS can help strengthen your application.

Hope it helps !

Although I have given that 12th result not yet declared, IISER admission portal not letting me proceed without submitting 12th marksheet?

Hello there,

If the IISER admission portal is not allowing you to proceed without submitting the 12th marksheet, you can try the following:

  1. Check for a Provisional Option: See if there's an option to upload a provisional result or a self-declaration stating that the result is awaited.

  2. Contact IISER Helpdesk: Reach out to the IISER admission support team through the contact details provided on the official website for guidance.

  3. Try Uploading a Blank Document: Some portals allow submission by uploading a placeholder document (like a blank PDF) until the result is declared.

  4. Wait for Result: If none of the above works, you may need to wait until the 12th result is declared before proceeding with the application.
