Admission to both of these programmes is based on the candidate's performance in an interview. Candidates are selected for the interview by screening applications. This screening is typically based on the applicant's performance in the PhD Scholarship screening test of the NBHM.
Applicants must apply directly to the NBHM for the PhD Scholarships of the National Board for Higher Mathematics (NBHM) and appear for that screening test. They need not send IMSc any separate application. IMSc (and HRI) will get the test scores and copies of the applications directly from the NBHM and will independently send call letters for interview to candidates who have passed the screening criteria.
The advertisement of the NBHM PhD Scholarships examination is expected to appear in national newspapers in the last quarter of each year.
Deadline of NBHM applications is: Monday, 14 December 2009
Dates of receipt of hall ticket are: 11-18 January 2010
Date of NBHM screening test: Saturday, 23 January 2010
You will find in the link below a copy of the NBHM screening test for each year as soon as it appears and also a sample question paper. Important dates for NBHM applications can be found in this link.
