Joint Entrance Screening Test(JEST) is a test that is for the admission in PH.D/INTEGRATED M.SC./PH.D IN PHYSICS/THEORATICAL COMPUTER SCIENCE. JEST is conducted for selecting candidates to be interviewed for admission to Ph. D. Programmes in Physics/ Theoretical Computer Science in these institutions in the country. Applications are invited from motivated students, with consistently good academic record, for appearing in JEST leading to enrolment in a Ph. D. Programme in Physics / Theoretical Computer Science, at any of the 21 premier participating institutions. JEST score forms an important component in the selection of candidates for the Ph.D. programmes in these institutions.
