Born out of an idea to facilitate academic discourse and advancement through interdisciplinary collaborative research in advanced areas of science, the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR) was established by the Department of Science and Technology of the Government of India in 1989. JNCASR has steadily grown to become a top national multidisciplinary research institute that has considerable global recognition. In 2002, the Centre was declared a Deemed-to-be-University by the University Grants Commission, allowing it to confer degrees to its students directly.
Today, the Centre has 400+ students, several renowned faculty members, and 9 research units with top-class research infrastructure. Together, the JNCASR research community has made countless innovations and conducted groundbreaking research, which is reflected in the various awards, publications, and patent grants of these researchers on national and international platforms.
