TIFR MSc Chemistry

Hi I would like to know if Tata Institute of Fundamental Research offers M.Sc in Chemistry course or not and what is the eligibility?

[Kiran Chandar]

The branch of compound sciences (DCS) at present offers just a Ph.D. program for those understudies who are chosen through the TIFR Research Scholars' confirmation technique. A M. Sc. degree is controlled just to those understudies who qualify to join the Graduate system of the establishment specifically after B.Sc. what's more, are envious of acquiring this degree.

Necessities for enlistment for the Ph.D. degree

An understudy is required to finish 6 address courses, 1 research facility course, 2 ventures and an obligatory short course1 (at whatever point reported) keeping in mind the end goal to enroll for a Ph.D. degree. Every address course (least of 30 contact hours) conveys one credit point, the research facility course conveys 2 credit focuses and every undertaking conveys 2 credit focuses.

The syllabus for the passageway test is as given beneath:

The syllabus for the written test in Chemistry is like the common standard syllabus

followed in any Indian college for the B.Sc. furthermore, M.Sc. degree course.

The inquiries are for testing the essential comprehension and learning in the ranges of physical, natural, inorganic, explanatory, electro and quantum science, biophysics,
thermodynamics, spectroscopy (NMR, fluorescence, IR, UV and X-beam), rationale and insights and numerical techniques.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS
(NOTE: Wrong answers will get you negative marks)
