JEST questions are based on the general syllabii of
graduation and postgraduation level courses offered by various Indian
universities and institutions. JEST question papers are normally not made
available.
Applicants seeking admission for a PhD programmes in the
participating institutions may first appear for the Joint Entrance Screening
Test (JEST). Using the JEST results, each institute will call a limited number
of candidates for further selection depending on their requirements.
Participating institutions have their own eligibility criteria. The selected
candidates will receive research fellowships from the respective
institutions.
