Postgraduate Programme
For Men
Free
Duration: 2 Years
The Masters Programme in Chemistry covers all aspects of the different branches of chemistry and lays emphasis on detailed understanding of the fundamental principles and on training in appropriate computational and experimental methods. This rigorous training in all the major branches of Chemistry – theoretical, applied, instrumental, computational and experimental – sets the stage for electives in interdisciplinary areas as well as for an introduction to advanced emerging fields of research in the final semester.
- 10+2 years of schooling and 3 years of university (total 15 years) as recognized by SSSIHL
- Either passed or appeared for Final exams at the Bachelor’s degree level before the Admissions Test
- Bachelor’s degree: 50% or more (English) and 60% or more (Aggregate incl. English) or CGPA aggregate of 6 or more (10-point scale) and 5 or more (10-point scale) in English. If not appeared for Bachelor’s degree final exams, aggregate marks in all the preceding Years/Semesters put together marks will be considered)
- Only Candidates with a B.Sc. or B.Sc. (Hons.) in Chemistry are eligible to apply
- Age: preferably below 23 years on 31 May in the year of admission
