The Institute provides opportunities for outstanding students to carry out project work under the supervision of the Institute’s scientists towards partial fulfilment of their postgraduate degrees (of at least SIX months’ duration). The opportunities are available in two sessions every year: 

session I: July-December
session II: January-June

ELIGIBILITY:

The minimal eligibility criterion for consideration of the requests is First division or an equivalent grade (or at least 60% of aggregate scores) in all major examinations starting from the secondary school examination onwards.

Following procedure should be followed by interested students:

• Students who are pursuing masters degree (e.g. MSc, MVSc, MTech, integrated masters students in their 4th year etc.) may apply.
  
• The requests must be forwarded through the Heads of Departments, and must provide the academic resumes of the recommended student(s) clearly specifying percentage marks obtained at various levels and the subjects covered, as well as the period of proposed project work.
  
• Every department can forward a maximum of two requests.
