The Joint Entrance Screening Test (JEST) is a common qualifying test for
admissions to Ph.D. programmes in Physics at premier Indian research
institutions and a Ph.D. programme in Theoretical Computer Science at the Institute
of Mathematical Sciences. The JEST exam is used to shortlist candidates
and does not automatically entitle an applicant to get a Research
Fellowship. Using JEST results, each institute will call a limited
number of candidates for its own selection procedure depending, on its
requirements. All selected candidates will receive Research Fellowships
from the respective institutes.
