Six month training opportunities:
The Institute provides opportunities for outstanding students to
carry out project work under the supervision of the Institute’s scientists
towards partial fulfilment of their postgraduate degrees (of at least SIX months’ duration; session I: July-December;
session II: January-June). The minimal eligibility criterion for consideration
of the requests is first division or an equivalent grade (or at least 60% of
aggregate scores) in all major examinations starting from the secondary school
examination onwards. Following procedure should be followed by interested
students:
Students who are pursuing masters degree (e.g. MSc, MVSc, MTech,
integrated masters students in their 4th year etc.) may apply.
The requests must be forwarded through the Heads of Departments,
and must provide the academic resumes of the recommended student(s) clearly
specifying percentage marks obtained at various levels and the subjects
covered, as well as the period of proposed project work.
Every department can forward a maximum of two requests.
Applicants must mention their broad area of interest and/or names
