The final interview list has been uploaded to the website IMSc Admissions 2023 - Physics Ph.D./Integrated Ph.D. Program - Final interview list.
Please carefully note the date and time of your interview. The time slots are for a period of 1 hour and are indicative of the starting time of the interview. Please keep yourself free and available to be contacted during your assigned time slot.
Here are a few things to keep in mind regarding the online interviews:
- The interviews will be held using Google Meet. Familiarize yourself with Google Meet and its various settings and options. You need to have a Google account to take part in the interview.
- Use the google chrome browser to access Google Meet.
- Keep your mobile/laptop charged/on the charger as video streaming drains the battery.
- It is preferable to use a headphone/earphone with a microphone if you have access to one.
- Change the settings on your Google account so that committee members can contact you without them being on your contact list.
- You will receive a message on your email when the committee is ready to interview you sometime within the time slot that has been assigned to you. In that email, you’ll find the Google Meet link that you can use to join the interview. They may also contact you over the phone in case there is no response received on Google Meet.
- Do not worry if the video streaming does not work well. If there are any hassles with the internet connection, we will find an alternate way to carry out the interview (maybe at a later time).
During the interview:
- It is mandatory to be in a room with no other occupants.
- Keep a photo id with you for verification. Keep your scorecard/JRF letter handy.
- Keep a notebook and pen/pencil nearby to do calculations or make plots.
- Write in larger than normal font size and legibly since you might have to show some of your calculations and plots to the committee members.
- The interview will cover basic topics in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, statistical mechanics, and mathematical methods.
We look forward to interacting with you. Good luck!
