The main Objective of the Institute is to promote and conduct basic
and applied studies in the field of magnetically confined plasma and nonlinear
phenomena in plasmas.
The Institute has several academic programmes to train Scientists and
Engineers in the field of physics.
Students who have completed M.Sc.(Physics/Applied Physics) are selected
for this programme on the basis of a written test followed by a personal
interview which are ususally held in the month of June.
Fellowship rates for fellows are Rs 16,000/- for 1 st and 2nd year and Rs 18,000 for subsequent years.
The selected candidates who join as research scholars at the institute
must take a set of courses as prescribed by the Academic committe of the
institute. The scholar also takes up a research project under the supervision
of the faculty member of the Institute which leads to a Ph.D degree. This
programme normally runs for a total of 5 years and on its successful completion,
deserving candidates may be offered regular positions in the Institute.
The institute offers a technical training programme to train and absorb
competent Scientists and Engineers in the plasma science and technology.
Students who have completed M.Sc (Physics/Applied physics), B.E (Computer
/ Electrical / communication / Electronics/ Instrumentation/ Mechanical
) will be selected for this programme on the basis of a written test followed
by a personal interview which are usually held in the month of June.To
and Fro second class rail fare by shortest route will be paid for attending
the interview.
The selected candidates who join as Technical Trainee at the institute
must take a set of courses and project work.The duration of this training
will be one year.After successful completion of training, they will be
offered a regular appointment.
During the period of training, the trainees will be paid a stipend of
Rs.5400 per month with hostel accomodation.
This is a six-week program that offers a select set of students the opportunity to interact with scientists of the Institute and learn about various research
tools of Physics and Technology through a project and a series of lectures.
Students of M.Sc / B.E. / B.Tech( Physics and Technology) are eligible to apply for this program.
The participants will receive a consolidated stipend of Rs.10,500/-. To and fro 3rd AC rail fare by the shortest route and
free hostel accommodation (limited seats are available) will be provided.
Depending on the need and the vacancies created, Engineers and Scientists
will also be recruited directly. Advertisements will be given in the leading
newspapers and/ Employment News for differnt positions.
