Admission to M.Sc. (Two Year), Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Sc.-Ph.D.
Dual Degree, Integrated Ph.D. and other Post-Bachelor’s Degree Programmes
From the Academic Session 2004 - 05, Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) have started conducting a Joint Admission Test for M.Sc. (JAM). Since 2012-13, Indian Institute of Science Bangalore has also joined the IITs in the conduct of this test. The objective of JAM is to provide admissions to various M.Sc., Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D., M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree and other post-bachelor degree programmes at the IITs based on the performance in a single test and to consolidate Science as a career option for bright students from across the country. In due course, JAM is also expected to become a benchmark for normalizing undergraduate level science education in the country.
The M.Sc., Joint M.Sc.-Ph.D, M.Sc.-Ph.D. Dual Degree and other post-bachelor degree programmes at the IITs offer high quality education in their respective disciplines, comparable to the best in the world. The curricula for these programmes are designed to provide the students with opportunities to develop academic talent leading to challenging and rewarding professional life. The curricula are regularly updated at each IIT. The interdisciplinary content of the curricula equips the students with the ability to utilize scientific knowledge for practical applications. The medium of instruction in all the programmes is English.
