Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced
Scientific Research invites applications for its Summer Research Fellowship Programme 2013, for motivated and
talented Indian students in Science and Engineering.
Detailed information and application form is available on http://www.jncasr.ac.in/srfp.php
website.
Application form can also
be obtained by writing to the address mentioned below with a self-addressed envelope of 16x25 cms with stamp of Rs. 10/- :
The Assistant Coordinator,
Summer Research Fellowship Programme,
Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Jakkur
P.O.,
Bangalore 560 064.
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 5000 students from
all over India apply for the 120 fellowships awarded. Fifty fellowships are
supported by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India,
fifteen by the Rajiv Gandhi Institute for Contemporary Studies, New Delhi, and
the rest by the Centre. Students are placed with research groups at the Centre
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.

___________________________________________
About 15 students will be chosen as
Rajiv Gandhi Science Talent Research Fellows
based on the completed project reports
____________________________________________
Only
selected candidates will be intimated by 1st April 2013 and the list will also
be available on the link mentioned above.
Additional guidelines for Summer Fellows
placed in the JNCASR ONLY.
All summer
students should inform the JNCASR well in advance about the exact duration of
their visit. The Fellowships section will then request the appropriate
authority for accommodation, and let the Fellow know where he/she will be
staying.
In special
cases where a student needs to visit the Centre for a period in addition to
that covered by the Fellowship, the guide may send in a request to this effect.
The Centre will try to make their stay possible and fruitful. It is important
that such students should inform the Fellowships section about the exact dates
of their stay well in advance. Only students who receive an e-mail confirmation
of accommodation being reserved for them can expect to be housed by the Centre.
The student should carry money required for security deposit.
