Harish-Chandra Research Institute runs a Visiting Students Program (VSP) in Physics. Selected students will get exposure in the field of physics under the supervision of a faculty member or a postdoctoral fellow. After finishing the project the students are expected to present a seminar on their work.
Duration: Visiting Students are expected to stay here for a period of at least 4 weeks during any time of the year which is mutually convenient.
Eligibility:

Selection Criteria at Harish-Chandra Research Institute:
The selection is based on:

Note:
- The selected students will be paid to and fro (II class sleeper) rail fare, accommodation on campus, and a stipend to cover local expenses.
