ICTS

International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS-TIFR), Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bengaluru invites applications from academically bright and motivated students for the ICTS - S. N. Bhatt Memorial Excellence Fellowship Program which typically happens every summer around the middle of May till the middle of July.

This program offers an opportunity to undergraduate/ masters students of Science and Engineering to work with faculty and post-doctoral fellows of the Centre and to participate in research at the frontiers of knowledge. Students from previous years have contributed productively to research at ICTS, and many have continued research careers at universities around the world.

Selected candidates will be provided stipends and accommodation during this program.

Applications are invited from both Indian and foreign nationals.

For the Physics stream, this summer program also provides an early route to the PhD and Int PhD graduate program at ICTS. Candidates who perform outstandingly in the summer program will be provided with a unique opportunity to apply early for admission to our graduate program. Upon subsequently clearing a written test and interview, successful candidates will receive early PhD/Int PhD offers.
