Training Program
It is not a conventional classroom lectures based training program. Instead, each selected
candidate/trainee will be assigned to a CCMB staff scientist who will supervise/mentor
him/her during the stay. Each student is expected to execute a small project work under
the guidance of the scientist. At the end of the program, student will need to submit a
‘Project Report’ of the work done, and also would be required to make an oral
presentation.
The program is mainly intended to give students a real-time exposure/hands-on
experience to a research environment, in the hope that it would inculcate in them a zeal
for research as a future career.
Although, efforts are made to take into consideration the ‘statement of purpose’/research
interest of the selected students (while assigning to different Scientists), but it is
generally not possible in many cases; as the allotments are mainly based on the
availability of working place(s) in different labs and not the other way around.
Therefore, only those students should apply for the training program who are
ready to work in any laboratory of CCMB, if selected, irrespective of his/her stated
research interest.
Application procedure
Application for the Summer Program 2020 can be downloaded (Zipped pdf file).
Completed application (Hard copy) for the program MUST reach CCMB by
25/01/2020. The names of the Selected candidates will be made available on
CCMB homepage during the middle of February 2020; here, it may be noted
that no separate intimation would be sent to any candidate, and thus all
applicants must look for his/her name in the ‘selection list’ on the CCMB
homepage only.
Selection Process
A committee nominated by the Director, CCMB, selects the trainees. One of the major
criteria used in selection is that the selected candidates should represent the Nation-wide
coverage of different Indian states (based on the location of their academic institutions,
but independent of their birthplace, sex, cast or religion). ‘Statement of purpose’ and the
‘Recommendation/reference Letter’ are other important considerations in the selection of
candidates along with the academic record. A few seats (~5%) are reserved, each for the
children of serving CCMB employees, and for candidates selected by the AcSIR.
The number of trainees’ intake varies between 50 - 60 candidates, and mainly depends
upon the availability of bench space with different staff scientists of CCMB. On an
average, we receive ~800 applications.
Important dates
The program is for duration of 60 days (~eight weeks) in the months of May-July 2020.
Last date for receipt of Application in CCMB: 25 January 2020
