Campus Life
“Besides research in the lab, what I most like about JNC is the
environment it provides. The campus is lovely with bamboo patches, trees
in full bloom and small flowering plants providing habitat for a wide
variety of birds and insects.”
– Sarada Seetharaman, TSU
The JNCASR Student’s Residence reflects the vibrant scientific spirit of
the Centre. Modern in design, luxurious in amenities, and infused with
an atmosphere of vitality and good cheer, it is the perfect environment
for the growing scientific mind to relax and feel entirely at home.
Comfortable rooms set amidst a lush, green campus create a calm and
peaceful environment, while a range of student activities and
engagements provide stimulation and interaction, for the mind as well as
the body.
The JNCASR student community takes the collaborative spirit of the
Centre to a whole new level – sharing influences, discussing schools of
thought, and stimulating new ways of thinking and expression. Here you
will find students from different parts of the country and the world,
with different academic, professional, and cultural backgrounds. Unlike
many other research institutes, the relatively small numbers enable
meaningful personal relationships, and the informal nature of
faculty-student interactions open up a wealth of discussions.
Beyond feeding the curious young minds of the Centre, the hostel also
provides for their bodies. Students at JNCASR can choose from a host of
sports, play indoor games, join clubs, and enjoy the literary magazine
and movie nights. Meals are democratically managed by a student
committee, and cultural events like Dhwani offer platforms for
discussion and performance. The hostel life here is not just about
rest—it's about community, creativity, and curiosity.
“The Students’ Residence or the hostel, located inside the campus, is
literally a home away from home. Being happy and comfortable is
important for being a good researcher; this is what motivates the
wardens and hostel staff to manage and maintain the hostel as one of the
best in the country.”
– Vini Gautam, CPMU
“The Movie Club screens one hand-picked movie every Friday night. If you
are a fan of documentaries or a lover of healthy debates, Dhwani is
where you should be every Thursday. The Book Club hosts books in
international and vernacular literature to cater to every student’s
need.”
– Chandradhish Ghosh, Ph.D. student, ICMS
“One could accidentally stumble into the lecture hall and end up
listening to either a wonderful talk on the fascinating properties of
nanomaterials or on the way circadian rhythms govern the behavioral
pattern of various organisms. Very few institutions offer this bird’s
eye view of progress across advanced disciplines of science.”
– Bharat, MBGU
“The striking feature of JNC is the highly informal nature of the
faculty-student interaction. In contrast to many universities abroad,
most students in JNC get to interact with their advisors on a daily
basis. Discussions over coffee on a broad range of topics have greatly
enhanced my view of the world.”
– Saikishan Suryanarayanan, Ph.D. student, EMU
