The Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) is a common qualifying test for admissions to Ph.D. programmes in Physics at premier Indian research institutions (see Participating Institutes list below) and a Ph.D. programme in Theoretical Computer Science at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences. The JEST exam is used to shortlist candidates and does not automatically entitle an applicant to get a Research Fellowship. Using JEST results, each institute will call a limited number of candidates for its own selection procedure depending, on its requirements. All selected candidates will receive Research Fellowships from the respective institutes
Participating Institutes have their own eligibility criteria, as described below. Students who are expected to complete their final examinations by August 2011 are also eligible to apply.
