JNCASR Summer Research Fellowship Programme

Introduction:

The Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research was established in 1989 by the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India. Its main objective is to promote scientific research at the highest level in frontier and interdisciplinary areas of science and Engineering. Summer Research Fellowships Programme is  offered by JNCASR in association with Department of Science and Technology and Rajiv Gandhi Foundation, New Delhi. This program aims to provide an opportunity to motivated, young students to familiarize themselves with pioneering research done in Indian scientific institutions. Around 120 Fellowships are awarded each year. Advertisements calling for applications to this programme appear during the month of September last week every year in national newspapers.
