Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research Summer
Research Fellowship Programme : Introduction
The Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research was established
in 1989 by the Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India. Its
main objective is to promote scientific research at the highest level
in frontier and interdisciplinary areas of science and Engineering. Summer
Research Fellowships Programme is offered by JNCASR in association
with Department of Science and Technology and Rajiv Gandhi Foundation,
New Delhi. This program aims to provide an opportunity to motivated, young
students to familiarize themselves with pioneering research done in Indian
scientific institutions. Around 120 Fellowships are awarded each year.
Advertisements calling for applications to this programme appear during
the month of September last week every year in national newspapers.
