As part of its Science Outreach Programme, in 2006 the Centre initiated a new program in biology for undergraduate students from other institutions. Selected students are exposed to the concepts and methodologies driving integrative research in biology today, through a combination of lectures, laboratory projects and research. The programme will be conducted during the summer vacation for a period of 6 to 8 weeks. Students selected are expected to work at the Centre for three consecutive summers and successful candidates will receive diploma in biology from the Centre. Whenever possible, students will be allowed to work in the Centre during mid-semester vacations as well. Specialization in a more focused area of research will be possible during the second and third years. Those who complete the POBE programme with outstanding performance will be eligible for admission to the MS/PhD programme of the Centre subject to satisfactory performance in the interview.
The total number of Fellowships offered will be upto 10. A scholarship of Rs. 6000/- per month will be provided.
Only selected candidates will be intimated by last week of March – 2011 and the list will also be available on the JNCASR web site. Further enquiries or correspondence will not be entertained.
