Have a question related to TIFR Mumbai ?

Can I join tifr after bsc if I join which exam I prepare and how can I join

You can go to TIFR after your Bachelor's degree. TIFR has combined PhD and regular PhD programs in subjects such as Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Computer Science.


How to get into TIFR after BSc:


1. Entrance Test:

You need to take the TIFR GS entrance test, which usually happens in December. This test checks what you know in your subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.).


2. Requirements:

You need a BSc degree in a related field (like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc.) and good grades.


3. How They Choose:

If you pass the written test, you will be chosen for an interview, which is the last step.


4. How to Prepare:

Study the ideas you learned in your BSc classes. Practice with old TIFR GS test questions and study the main topics well.

There are very benefits you will receive as a scientist and DRDO, ISRO and many other national level organization:

  • Transport allowance
  • Leave travel concession
  • Medical facilities
  • Promotion scheme according to merit
  • Chance of getting higher education from recognised institution
  • High pay salary in the starting
  • Government residence will be provided
  • Group insurance
  • Canteen services subsidized

Read about DRDO recruitment:

See in general, if one have 50% marks in the TIFR GS examination, then its quite confirmed that the student will get a call for the interview. Now every year, the difficulty of the paper change for different subjects and as a result, the cutoff changes. So nothing for sure can't be provided, although you have moderate chances to get the interview call.
