The Ph.D. programme at IISER Pune is a blend of class room curriculum, mentoring under-graduate students along with a major research component. The research scholars are expected to complete at least 16 credits of course work within the first two semesters followed by a comprehensive examination to assess the student’s candidacy for Ph.D. They must deliver a departmental seminar and undertake tutoring activities in at least two under-graduate courses (theory and/or laboratory courses). In the first two years, the student will receive a Junior Research Fellowship (JRF). Upon the successful completion of the comprehensive examination and two years of JRF, the student will be eligible to receive a Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) for a maximum of another three years.
