SUMMER
RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME – 2017
(Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced
Scientific Research, Bangalore, in association with Dept. of Science and
Technology, New Delhi)
INTRODUCTION
The Centre offers summer fellowships for two months to bright
undergraduate and MSc students (renewable for a second year for selected
students). This programme has proved to be popular and competitive; each year,
about 2000 students from all over India apply for the 50-60 fellowships
awarded. All the fellowships are supported by the Department of Science &
Technology, Government of India. Students are placed with research groups at
JNCASR or with scientists elsewhere in India. They are paid travel expenses and
a monthly stipend of Rs. 6000. Selected students get the opportunity to
participate in cutting-edge research, and several summer projects have led to
publications in leading journals. Many of the summer students of past years
have gone on to pursue graduate studies and a research career, at the JNCASR or
at another leading university.
