JNCAR: Summer Research Fellowship Programme (SRFP) 5468 views

Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCAR) offers summer fellowships for 02 months to exceptional bachelor’s and MSc students (renewable for a second year for selected students).

Number of fellowships: 50-60 fellowships are awarded every year.

All the fellowships are backed by the DST, Govt. of India. Recipients are placed with research groups at JNCASR or with scientists elsewhere in India.

Fellowship value:

• Recipients are paid travel expenses
• monthly stipend of Rs. 6000
• recipients will get the opportunity to take part in cutting-edge research, and several summer projects have led to publications in leading journals
