About the Course
1. About the ISI JRF in Agricultural & Ecological Research
The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) offers Junior Research Fellowships (JRFs) in Biological Sciences focusing on Agricultural and Ecological Research, designed for candidates who want to pursue research in crop science, ecosystem dynamics, and statistical ecology.Applicants generally:
Hold a Master’s degree in Agricultural Sciences, Ecology, Environmental Sciences, or related disciplines.
Must clear a written examination (covering theory, quantitative biology, and statistical applications) followed by a research proposal presentation and interview.
Face highly competitive selection, with limited fellowship seats, requiring focused, research-level preparation.
The evaluation focuses on:
Core agricultural biology and ecological concepts.
Quantitative approaches and statistical ecology.
Research aptitude and ability to design scientifically sound studies.
