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.
