the department of atomic energy)
- The test will be of two hours duration
- The question paper will have two parts, A and B
- Part-A will contain twenty objective type questions on basic Mathematics, Physics and Electronics
- Part-B will contain another twenty objective type questions from advanced Physics, Mathematics and Electronics/Engineering
- For each question, candidates will have to identify and mark the correct answer from the given four answers
For a right answer, there will be +3 (plus three) marks, and for a wrong answer, there will be –1 (minus one) mark.
Applications are invited from students who expect to complete their

Integrated M.Sc and 2nd/3rd year B.E./B.Tech students may also apply
to be Pre Selected for a research scholarship towards a Ph.D at IUCAA
for Physics, or Astronomy and Astrophysics
Students in any branch of the B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech degrees,
or in the Physics, Electronics, Astronomy or Applied Mathematics
branches of the B.Sc or M.Sc degrees, are eligible to apply for
INAT-2012
Students who have already completed any of the above degrees are also eligible
Students in the final year of the B.Sc (in the above branches)
or who have completed their B.Sc degree may also apply for selection

school
Selection Procedure: We are looking for highly motivated students with a consistently good academic record
While we strongly encourage students from engineering
backgrounds to apply for INAT-2012, we emphasize that we are looking
for students who are interested in carrying out doctoral research in
Physics, or Astronomy and Astrophysics
We hence expect prospective candidates to have a good understanding of basic Physics
