At IMSC At IISc At NISER

In this blog I am going to write about my interview experience at IISC . It was held in offline mode this year (2022). There were three dates allotted by them for the interviews : 30th May , 31st May and 1st June . My interview was on 31st of May 2022 . This year IISC called upto rank 60 for JAM and 83  in JEST . My rank in JEST was 30. So I was called through JEST. This time interview has held in two halves one started from 9 am and the other from 2 pm. My interview was from 2 pm. Although it was supposed to start from 2 pm but it got delayed. We were seated in the auditorium. We were waiting to be called.  I was called at the beginning. A professor told me to follow him. I went into a classroom. It was not too big. There were 4 professors in the room. One of them inquired about my interests. To which i replied Quantum mechanics, Classical mechanics, and Mathematical physics.  (Now let me call the professors by A , B , C , D .) Prof A : "lets start with mathematical physics.

Let me introduce myself, I am Debankur Basak , I pursued my BSc . from Scottish Church College (2019-2022), and my JEST rank was 30 . IMSC on the year 2022 called upto rank 80 (in JEST). And the number of peeps shortlisted for interview was 36 (for IPhd). So my interview time was 2:30 pm on 16th of May 2022 , (Everything was given in their website although they did mail me to inform that).But I got a call from there and they requested me to start my interview from 1:30 pm to which i said i want to sit for the interview at my previous allotted time to which they politely accepted. The interview was conducted in online mode.They mailed me the link for Google meet 2 days ago from the date of the interview. I was required to show my college ID card and JEST scorecard. So yeah, I joined the meet at 2:30pm. One prof joined the meet around the same time. He then asked questions like : "Which college do you study in?",  "Are your Exams over?", "Did you apply in an

This blog focuses on which exam to prepare for BSc Level Exams These exams are Screening tests for BSc grads to enter MSc or Integrated Ph.D. (MSc+PhD). All these exams have more or less the same syllabus, so preparing for one of them would mean you're mostly prepared for the other ones too. Of course, there is no 100% overlap in the syllabus but you can always prepare those few extra topics as required for any specific exam. JAM TIFR-GS Physics GRE MSc Entrance tests for universities like HCU,BHU,Jamia Milia Universitity , JNU, Pune University, IIT Mandi, DU, and many others. MSc Level Exams These exams are Screening tests for MSc grads to enter a Ph.D. JEST (it also is for BSc grads, will dig into the deets in the next section) CSIR-NET GATE IUCAA-INAT CMI Ph.D. entrance test A few other tests mentioned in the blog post above Things to consider No.of Institutes accepting the Exam This is the most important thing in my opinion.  I have listed all the exams one can give and the ins
