About the Course
1. About the ISI JRF in Geology Exam
The Indian Statistical Institute (ISI) offers Junior Research Fellowships for advanced research in Geology and Earth Sciences, targeting candidates who:
Hold a Master’s degree in Geology, Applied Geology, or a related field.
Aim to qualify through written tests followed by interviews.
Compete for a highly limited number of fellowship seats, making it one of India’s most competitive research entrances.
The exam evaluates:
Core subject expertise in Geology (Mineralogy, Petrology, Structural & Stratigraphy, Geophysics).
Quantitative and analytical skills (Mathematics, Statistics, Research Methods).
Research aptitude and presentation skills (during interview stage).
