Integrated M.Sc. (5-year) programme

NISER offers 5-year integrated M.Sc. Programme in basic sciences after 10+2 years of schooling (or equivalent). The nomenclature of the program is M.Sc. (5-year integrated) Programme in Biological Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Mathematical Sciences and Physical Sciences.

The curriculum for the first two semesters (first year) is common to all students and specialization begins from the third semester. Further details of the programme is available at the following link.

Students are allocated schools in the second year after successfully completing all courses of the 1st year. The maximum number of seats in each school are the following

  • 1. School of Biological Sciences : 55
  • 2. School of Chemical Sciences : 55
  • 3. School of Mathematical Sciences : 55
  • 4. School of Physical Sciences : 55

Procedure and Criteria for allocation of schools:

After successfully completing all courses of the 1st year, students are asked to give three preferences for schools. Schools are allocated based on two criteria

  • (i) Preference of the student
  • (ii) CGPA of the two semesters

If the number of students preferring to join a school exceeds the maximum number of seats available in that school then allocation is done based on CGPA. In case of a tie, the student whose performance is better in that particular subject (in the first two semesters) is given the seat.
