Job Description
nvitation to pursue Ph.D. programme in specialized areas of Physical, Life and Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) Sciences at Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology, Indore
Raja Ramanna Centre for Advanced Technology (RRCAT), Indore, was founded in 1984 by the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) for pursuit of R&D in the areas of Accelerators, Lasers and related technologies. Since then, the Centre has set up two Synchrotron Radiation Sources: Indus-1 & Indus-2, which are national research facilities, and many smaller accelerators for radiation processing applications. The Centre has excellent cryogenic facilities as well as state-of-the-art equipment for low temperature physics measurements. A variety of laser systems, particularly high power lasers, have been built and are being used for a wide range of applications. These include gas lasers (like copper vapour lasers, CO2 lasers), solid state lasers (like - diode pumped solid state lasers, semiconductor lasers, high power lasers) for the studies in the areas like –bio-medical applications of lasers, laser materials processing, and laser-plasma interaction. The Centre also has long-standing program in the areas of RF-superconductivity, low-temperature physics, material science, cold atom physics, non-linear optics, opto-electronics, nano-science, micro-electro-mechanical systems, additive manufacturing, etc.
RRCAT is a Constituent Institute of the 'Homi Bhabha National Institute' (HBNI), a Deemed to be University with NAAC “A” grade. RRCAT invites students with appropriate qualifications to pursue Ph.D. program in various specialized areas of Physical, Chemical, Life and Engineering Sciences as listed above. As per the rules of HBNI, the Ph.D. program consists of course work of one-year duration and research work leading to Ph.D. thesis. The Ph.D. 2019 program will commence on 1st August 2019.

Nationality : The applicant must be an Indian citizen.
Selection process:
The selection of the students for the Ph.D. programme will be a two-step process:
Screening of the applications, followed by
An interview of the short-listed candidates by the Selection Committees.
For Physical Sciences, the screening will be done on the basis of applicant's score/ rank in JEST and/or CSIR-UGC NET.
For Life Sciences, the screening will be done on the basis of applicant's score/ rank in CSIR-UGC NET/ BET/ GATE.
For Engineering Sciences, the screening will be done on the basis of applicant's score/ rank in GATE.
The short-listed candidates in Physical Sciences shall be called for interview to be conducted tentatively during 6th - 9th May & 17th - 20th June 2019 at RRCAT, Indore. The applicant must indicate the choice of their interview date in the application form, failing which they will have to appear for interview on one of the above dates assigned by RRCAT.
The short-listed Life Sciences candidates shall be called for interview to be conducted tentatively during 10th and 11th June 2019 at RRCAT, Indore.
The short-listed Engineering Sciences candidates shall appear for written examination. The written examination will comprise objective (multiple) type questions. There will be negative marking for the written examination for incorrect answers. Candidates should come prepared to stay in Indore for the written test/interview for minimum two days. The written examination and interview will be conducted tentatively during 6th - 7th June 2019 at RRCAT, Indore.
