The Graduate Research Internship Program (GRIP) at the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research (JNCASR), Bangalore, offers final-year students in science and engineering the opportunity to undertake their academic research projects at a premier research institution. Eligible candidates include those pursuing B.E./B.Tech., M.E./M.Tech., Master's in Science, Integrated M.Sc, B.S-M.S, or MBBS degrees. The program is designed to integrate with the academic requirements of the student's home institution, allowing for a research project duration of one semester up to one year, depending on academic needs.

Applicants must have a minimum of 65% aggregate in core subjects (excluding languages) in both 10th and 12th standards. A bona fide cum permission letter from the principal or HOD is required at the time of joining. The program is open throughout the year, providing flexibility for students to apply at any time. Students are responsible for their own accommodation and medical insurance, though JNCASR can provide a list of nearby paying guest accommodations upon request. Medical consultation is available at the campus health center on a pay-per-use basis.

The internship is self-funded, with a fee of Rs. 5,000 per semester. Additional charges may apply for laboratory consumables as determined by the supervising faculty. No travel or daily allowances or fellowships are provided. Students must adhere to JNCASR's rules and regulations, including signing an IPR undertaking. Upon successful completion, students receive a project completion certificate, and their work may be evaluated by their home institution for academic credit.

To apply, students should identify a faculty member at JNCASR whose research aligns with their interests, contact them directly, and submit a completed application form. If the faculty member agrees, the application is forwarded through the appropriate channels for approval. The program covers a wide range of research areas, including biology, chemistry, physics, materials science, and medical science, reflecting JNCASR's multidisciplinary strengths.
