SUMMER RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMME (SRFP) 2019
Introduction to SRFP-2019
The Centre offers summer fellowships for two months to bright undergraduate and MSc students studying in India. This programme has proved to be popular and competitive; each year, about 2000 students from all over India apply for the ~80 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.10,000/-. 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.Objectives of Summer Research Fellowship :
The overall objective of the summer research fellowship is to expose the student to the work environment in the field of life science, material science, engineering science, physical science etc. In particular, the summer research fellowship program will:1) Enable the students to gain valuable practical experience in different field,
2) Test the students' career interests.
3) Provide the students with in depth knowledge about career fields.
4) Develop the students' job-related skills.
5) Enhance the students' civil engineering knowledge acquired in class through field experience.
6) Teach the students on how to deal with the society outside the university/institution.
7) Enable the students to earn some income.
8) Provide the training organizations with a better assessment of the quality of future human resources, and suggest improvements,
9) Enhance the relationship between the All fields to public and private sectors.
