JRF in Biological Science (Human Genetics

1. About the ISI JRF in Biological Science (Human Genetics) Exam

The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) offers Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) in Biological Science with a focus on Human Genetics, ideal for candidates aiming to work in genomics, molecular genetics, bioinformatics, and population genetics. Applicants typically:

• Hold a Master’s degree in Biological Sciences, Genetics, Biotechnology, or allied disciplines.

• Must qualify through a rigorous written test (covering theory, analytical skills, and quantitative methods) followed by a research proposal presentation and interview.

• Compete for a very limited number of seats, requiring specialized preparation beyond standard M.Sc. curricula.

The exam evaluates:

• Core knowledge in Molecular and Human Genetics.

• Quantitative and Statistical Approaches to genetics and biology.

• Research aptitude and proposal presentation for the fellowship selection.
