For more information go to http://www.IISc.ernet.in/info-fac/prospfac-howtoapply.shtml
Once a set of applications have been
received...
- The MRC committee of Professors (COP) short lists a
bunch of applicants based on requirements and merit.
- This short list is then forwarded to a committee that
is constituted by The Director and also includes The MRC
chairman and two external members. This committee then
chooses the candidates to be given appointment offers
to from the short list and forwards their recommendation
to the Institute Senate for approval.
- The Institute Senate meets approximately once every
3 months (March, June, September and December) and typically
the application process, is governed by this period. Meetings
of the COP and the committee in item 2 are geared towards
submitting a list to The Senate during one of their tri-monthly
meetings. Barring any potential last minute objections,
the Institute Senate then approves the list forwarded
by the committee in point 2 and issues offers of appointment.
- Given the nature of the process, there are no fixed
time limits on the decision making process. Hence, applicants
are requested to plan and follow up their application
status accordingly.
