Please allow me to share with you some history here. Late Prof. GN Ramachandran (of Ramachandran Plot) was a faculty of MBU, IISC. If you want to find out yourself how good/bad it is, please register for the upcoming conference on "International Conference on Biomolecular Forms and Functions: celebrating 50 years of the Ramachandran Map".
Chitta P.S. The agism means: 'we prefer assistant professors who are not too old' (35 years according to Indian life expectancy is 45 years in the US).

I'm inclined to believe Sham, given the Institutes stated policies: " Applicants, preferably below 35 years" James On Oct 29, 2012, at 11:28 AM, Narayana VL Sthanam wrote: Sham, who so ever you are, if you have such a long list of complaints, why don’t you put your name clearly and complain openly, instead of hiding behind some anonymous ‘SHAM’ name. What you write about IISc may be all true or it may be reflection of your frustration for not getting a job at IISc! How do we know? So, grow a ‘spine’, if you have a complaint, say it like a man and do not hide behind and bad mouth others anonymously like spoiled child. You are not only throwing dirt on such a prestigious Indian institution, and also on many decent and capable scientists who do outstanding work and produce brilliant graduate students, some of which I was fortunate to have in my lab.

It is a PREDETERMINED SELECTION, i.e. candidate is fixed and this (advertisement, screening, selection board, selection and approval) is just the procedure. It does not matter whether you apply or not. If you apply and called for interview, then you have to waste your valuable time as well as huge travel money unless some Big Boss is fixing you to the post. Interestingly Indian Institute of Science recruits and carries faculties and trains them in such a way that it has become a epicentre of recruitment scams across India and it make rest of Indian Scientists/Faculties in their path of scams and CRIME. Students also inherit the character of their boss. They do not participate in any form of fair selection in the country. Almost all cases they select and load many times inferior candidates even though candidate was not seen by anybody or interviewed. Similarly they distribute various national awards among themselves and within their group. THEY ARE NOT ASHAMED AT ALL. This is just an attempt of WASTING HUGE PUBLIC MONEY by a bunch of crooks who are good for nothing but worst for everything.
