IISER Tirupati Chemistry PhD 2027: Overview

Important Dates

Eligibility for Chemistry PhD

Applicants generally need at least 55% aggregate marks or 6.0 CGPA on a 10-point scale in a master’s degree in Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, Biology or another accepted science/engineering discipline. Applicants with a BE/BTech degree require at least 60% aggregate or 6.5 CGPA. IISER BS–MS dual-degree graduates with CGPA 8.0 or above have a separate route described in the official notice. In addition to the academic qualification, applicants must hold a relevant CSIR/UGC LS/JRF, INSPIRE PhD fellowship, GATE or other accepted national fellowship/test qualification, as applicable. The official notice provides relaxation provisions for eligible categories and allows final-year candidates to apply provisionally, subject to completion of the degree.

Application Fee and Fellowship

Application fee: Not announced yet on the official Chemistry admission page consulted. Check the online form before submitting. Fellowship: The institute states that eligible selected PhD candidates without an external CSIR, DBT or INSPIRE fellowship may receive an institute fellowship at par with these schemes, but without HRA and contingency components, subject to institute rules.

How to Apply

1. Read the official IISER Tirupati PhD admission notification, focusing on the 2026 Chemistry section (the page also contains older admission information).

3. Open the official Chemistry PhD application form.
4. Complete the form, upload requested documents and submit it by 15 October 2026. Keep a copy of the submission confirmation.

Selection Process and Who Should Apply

The department may shortlist applicants using academic performance and national-level test scores. Shortlisted candidates attend an interview; final selection depends on interview performance. This opportunity is particularly relevant to MSc Chemistry graduates, integrated BS–MS graduates and eligible final-year postgraduate students interested in research careers. A regular three-year BSc Chemistry degree alone does not satisfy the stated master’s-degree route; check other permitted routes in the official eligibility table.
