      We have 17 faculty members here. Most of them are very helpful and available almost all the time. They are mostly very caring about the students. The coursework is a bit hectic and a bit outdated. But overall, it is an excellent place to study

      College Infra

      Hostels are good. Everyone is provided with a single sharing room. The rooms are excellent, with an attached bathroom and a balcony as well. We are a small group of students hence we have only 3 classrooms and a computer lab. Wi-Fi is available everywhere on the campus. Food is not that great but fine. Food is quite affordable with respect to Bangalore standards.

      Placements

      TIFR is a research institute. So there is no scope for companies to come and recruit students here. However, students who completed their studies here, are well settled in academia. Our futures are bright in field of research

      I am scoring 30.5 in TIFR . Will I get called in interveiw????

      See in general, if one have 50% marks in the TIFR GS examination, then its quite confirmed that the student will get a call for the interview. Now every year, the difficulty of the paper change for different subjects and as a result, the cutoff changes. So nothing for sure

      Can I Pursue BSC in research physics in TIFR?

      Dear aspirant,

      Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR Mumbai) offers research and integrated programs at PG and doctoral levels. There are M.Sc, M.Sc+Ph.D and PhD courses offered in various streams of Science. Admissions are entrance based for all courses.

      So you can't study/research in TIFR until you complete undergraduate course.
