UM-DAE CEBS Ph.D. Programme Recruitment 2026 - Apply for Doctoral Fellowships

This Ph.D. programme is ideal for Indian nationals with a strong academic record (M.Sc. with at least 55% marks) in Physics or Mathematics, particularly those with a background in specialized areas like Plasma Physics, Condensed Matter Physics, Computational Physics, Algebra, Topology, or Analysis. Candidates who have qualified in national-level examinations such as UGC-CSIR-NET (JRF/LS), SLET, GATE, or JEST are highly suited. It is perfect for those aspiring to a research career in Basic and Applied Sciences within a prestigious government-aided institution.

Individuals without a qualifying M.Sc. degree in the specified fields or those who have not cleared essential national-level eligibility tests (like NET/GATE) should not apply. The program is specifically for Indian nationals, and candidates exceeding the age limit of 28 years (or relaxed limits for reserved categories) as on December 31, 2025, are ineligible. Those seeking immediate direct employment rather than a full-time research fellowship may find this unsuitable.
