Research Program
The major focus at IISER Mohali is to create a world class scientific
institution with an intellectually alive atmosphere of research. The doctoral program at IISER Mohali involves course work, a qualifying examination, thesis work and a thesis examination, leading to the award of a PhD degree. Besides research, students will be involved in several professional activities such as seminars, workshops, and review meetings. The institute has provision for a number of post-doctoral fellowships.
Faculty research spans a diverse spectrum of interests ranging from structural, cellular & molecular biology, immunology, evolutionary biology and protein
folding & misfolding in Biology, theoretical inorganic, organometallic chemistry, X-ray crystallography and spectroscopy in Chemistry, algebra,
algebraic geometry, functional analysis, differential geometry and computational number theory in Mathematics, to quantum information theory,
biomolecular NMR & quantum computing, statistical mechanics, ultrafast lasers, nonlinear dynamics, astrophysics, string theory and low temperature nanoscale systems in Physics. Research infrastructure available at IISER includes a computing facility, a sophisticated instrumentation facility housing NMR spectrometers, single crystal and powder X-ray diffractometers and a modern fast growing library. |

MS (Integrated) Program
The
5 yr MS (Int) program in Science at IISER Mohali admits students after 10+2. The course structure is interdisciplinary & research oriented
in nature, with a focus on the basic sciences. The first two years of the program constitute a common core with courses from Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Life Sciences, Mathematics & Computer Science, Humanities & Social Sciences, as well as Interdisciplinary
courses. The MS degree is awarded in the subject in which the student opts to major in, after the core years. In the fifth year, the students
will undertake a research project, and participate in state-of-the-art scientific research at IISER Mohali's research labs. The graduates are
expected to take up science as a career, although the diverse skills gained will equip them to pursue high-profile careers in any field,
including industry.
