In March 2025, NIMHANS is anticipated to commence admissions for the MSc in Neuroscience for the 2025 academic calendar. Generally, the application portal is made available in the early days of March every year and the application submission is commonly in April. It is better to visit NIMHANS official site on a frequent basis because it may provide more fixed dates in addition to possible new information on eligibility criteria and the application process? NIMHANS (National Institute of Mental Health and Neuro Sciences) allows for the applications for the Masters programme in neuroscience from May or June of the academic year in question. The stages of the application process include readiness check, paperwork, and taking the entrance exam. For instance, in the case of 2025 academic year, the duration for opening of the application forms will be confirmed later. However, its trends will be almost the similar again.The application process and exams dates and notifications concerning them can be found on the official NIMHANS website and hence to avoid missing important deadlines, it is advisable to do so frequently.

Neuroscience and Neurophysiology are closely related fields within the broader discipline of neuroscience, but they focus on different aspects of the nervous system.Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field that encompasses the study of the nervous system, including its structure, function, development, and diseases. Neurophysiology, on the other hand, is a subfield of neuroscience that specifically focuses on the electrical and chemical processes that govern the function of neurons and neural circuits. It explores how neurons generate and transmit electrical signals, how synaptic transmission occurs between neurons, and how these processes contribute to various physiological functions such as sensory perception, motor control, and cognition.

No, becoming a neurosurgeon typically requires completion of medical school followed by a neurosurgery residency program. While a Bachelor of Science (BSc) in Neuroscience provides a strong foundation in the study of the nervous system and brain function, it alone does not qualify you to practice medicine or perform surgical procedures.While a BSc in Neuroscience can provide a solid academic background for medical school and a career in neurosurgery, it's important to keep in mind that admission to medical school is competitive, and successful completion of medical school and residency requires dedication, hard work, and perseverance. 

To get admission for M.Sc. Neuroscience through CUET-PG, candidates must meet specific eligibility criteria, which typically include completing a Bachelor's degree in biology, biotechnology, biochemistry, neurobiology, neuroscience, zoology, or MBBS with a minimum required percentage. The University of Madras offers M.Sc. in Neuroscience with an entry requirement of 50% in graduation and conducts an entrance test for eligible candidates. Additionally, CUET-PG has a list of participating universities offering M.Sc. Neuroscience, including various central, state, deemed, and private universities, totaling around 190 institutions under CUET-PG. Therefore, aspiring students have multiple options to pursue M.Sc. Neuroscience through CUET-PG across different universities in India.
