The PhD programme at Kerala School of Mathematics is a perfect platform to explore these areas in depth.

Eligibility
Minimum second-class or equivalent grade in the qualifying degree. A qualifying degree could be one of the following

Qualifying examinations
The candidate should also have passed one of the following entrance tests:

Candidates who have passed one of the above exams or hold any external PhD fellowship are eligible to apply. Candidates who are yet to complete their examinations for the qualifying degree and expect to complete all the requirements for their degree before the last date for applying the course are eligible to apply. For such candidates, the admission, if offered, will be subject to the completion of the qualifying degree.
Application Process
Interested and eligible candidates should write to admissions@ksom.res.in with their résumé and a scanned copy of the CSIR-UGC/NBHM letter offering their fellowship or a copy of the hall ticket (in the case the offer letter has not been received yet). The last date for submitting the application form will be published in the notification. All shortlisted candidates will be called for an interview. The PhD offer will be based on the performance of the candidate in the interview.
Coursework
All students admitted to the PhD program will have to complete a credit requirement of 24 credits (typically six courses) in their first year PhD coursework. The coursework will be demanding and will lay the foundation for the PhD scholar in approaching the research problem thereafter.
