💡 Expert Tip
Don't apply with grade-based marksheets without converting CGPA/CGPI/OGPA to percentage using your University's official conversion norms — TIFR explicitly requires you to produce these conversion norms at the time of document verification, and missing this can disqualify your candidature even after selection. For OBC and EWS candidates, the Non-Creamy Layer/EWS certificate should ideally be for the current financial year; an acknowledgement receipt of application for the certificate is accepted at the application stage, but the actual certificate must be submitted if selected. Posts at Sr. No. 12-17 and 22-29 require working on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays in shift duties, so factor this into your decision before applying. Outstation candidates should also note that air travel reimbursement is restricted to specific authorized agencies only — booking directly through airline websites will not be reimbursed.
