Master of Science+Doctor of Philosophy (MSc+PhD )
Master of Science+Doctor of Philosophy Overview
The M.Sc + Ph.D Integrated Course is a six-year program designed for students aiming for advanced research careers. It combines a Master of Science (M.Sc.) with a Doctorate of Philosophy (Ph.D.), saving time compared to pursuing them separately.
There is no age limit, but candidates must have a B.Sc. in a relevant field (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Mathematics, Computer Science) with 55%-60% marks, along with a first-class record in 10th and 12th grades. Admission is based on entrance exams like IIT JAM, JEST, or university-specific tests. Some institutes also offer merit-based admission.
The course fees range from ₹50,000 to ₹3,00,000 per year, and graduates can expect salaries between INR 2 - 10 LPA, depending on their field and experience. Career opportunities include roles in academia (professor, researcher, scientist) and industries (analyst, engineer, medical writer, patent lawyer, and laboratory technician).
