Hi Subham,

IACS Kolkata is a specialized autonomous research institute and very good institute for those who wish to do a research in chemistry or in chemical sciences. They are getting funds directly from DST and the state government and central government. Highly qualified faculties are there with high standard research facilities but the eligibility criteria is slightly difficult and required first division in both 10 and 12 and a minimum of first class in your BSc (Chemistry-Honours) where they considered Physics and Mathematics as subsidiaries or a first class (60% marks or equivalent in aggregate) in Chemistry, if you wish to take an admission in that institute then I suggest you go for integrated MSc-PhD programme. If you are planning to apply to that institute then do it fast and make sure the last date is June 30th, 2018. And for your kind information Now the MHRD has come up with regulation that Ph.D. is mandatory for a job of Assistant Professor in Universities and colleges. So if you are thinking to make a career in teaching sector in any university or college after your post-grad then you must go for integrated Ph.D. programme and in meantime, you can also prepare for your net exam.

Good Luck.
