The primary objective behind this scheme is to provide the students with an opportunity to discover and shape their innate skills. The scheme also aims to engage student’s time productively, bringing in a healthy competition, and help them onboard the world of scientific research. The Research Committee may identify the internship opportunity and intimate the Office of The Provost. Based on the prior approval from the Office of The Provost the Schools/Center may extend the internship. The intern will be eligible for a monthly stipend which will be decided based on the workload, nature of the work and time spent. The intern will also be awarded a certificate on successful completion.
The time-bound curriculum framework of UG/PG courses sometimes hinders completing a particular research problem pursued by the student(s) as part of their final year thesis to its fullest level. As the new batch of students begin their final year thesis work the faculty will also find it difficult to take the previous batch’s work forward. As a solution to this, students are encouraged to stay for an extended period post their graduation as a research trainee. The research committee shall encourage thesis advisors to identify such promising projects and motivate the student or student group to extend their thesis work for six months or one year and bring out a high impact factor journal publication.
This scheme will help shape the students’ research skill and they will be motivated to pursue a research oriented career or enrol for PhD/Masters. For the institution this will help in achieving meaningful conclusion of a research question pursued as part of student thesis work with a high quality publication. Based on the prior approval from the Office of The Provost the Schools/Center may offer the student or student group the internship for an extended period. The intern will be eligible for a monthly stipend which will be decided based on the workload, nature of the work. The intern will also be awarded a certificate on successful completion of the internship. During the extended period internship if the student(s) opt(s) to avail the hostel and mess facility the same will be provided to them at an affordable cost. Upon successfully publishing the research work in a high impact factor journal the student or student-group shall be considered for subsequent year’s AIRA Award at par with the full time faculty.
