JEST is a common qualifying test for admissions into the PhD and Integrated PhD Programmes in Physics, Theoretical Computer Science and Neurosciences. Following are the participating institutions.
Participating Institutions
JEST questions are based on the general syllabii of graduation and postgraduation level courses offered by various Indian universities and institutions. JEST question papers are normally not made available.
Qualifying in JEST does not entitle a Research Fellowship:
Applicants seeking admission for a PhD programmes in the participating institutions may first appear for the Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST). Using the JEST results, each institute will call a limited number of candidates for further selection depending on their requirements. Participating institutions have their own eligibility criteria. The selected candidates will receive research fellowships from the respective institutions.
