Project Work - Mandatory Requirements

IUCBR & SSH needs a letter from your HoD stating the mandatory requirement of project work for 3 months as per the MSc curriculum of the University.

The HoD is expected to inform us about how your attendance in the lab is to be maintained

We need your University Registration number as per your admission records.

Statement from your HoD on the primary requirements of the project work (for eg., each individually or collectively, whichever is applicable).

As of today each trainee needs to remit a fee for three months (Rs. 3000/- per month, with a 50% concession for Mahatma Gandhi University-affiliated colleges and institutions, which is unrevised). We will let you the correct amount when we get your final dates of training, authenticated by your HoD.

We suggest the nomination of a Teacher-in-Charge responsible for all the five students,with whom we may communicate during the course of training and discuss matters arising during the course. This is to ease the communications between the mentor and the College authorities. This will also reduce the burden on the HoD.

Please provide information on the mandatory requirement of submission of a written dissertation, and the total marks ear-marked for this exercise of project work and the report submission. We also need to get information on the Total Marks for the MSc program. This will help us to decide on the project work to be allotted to each student.

Break in the period of short-term training: We have found in the past, trainee Students taking leave of absence with or without prior authorization from your HoD during their training period, which creates a lot of problems at our end (loss of costly reagents, chemicals, instruments time and rare samples for assay, etc). This is rampant due to scheduling or rescheduling of University written and practical examinations. We do not want that to happen anymore. Prior information of scheduled examinations, etc has to be intimated to IUCBR & SSH to avoid complications and the resulting loss of reagents, chemicals and samples.

Working days and hours: Please do note that we have 6 days a week, except for the second week of a month, when it is 5 days for that week alone. It is 7 hours a day. But research work requires the participants to spend more time in the laboratory for doing experiments and for preparations for the next day.

Accommodation: We have accommodation only for PhD Students, but currently the hostel is full and no vacancy exists. There are several paying guest hostels nearby (walkable distance) and private hostels on a monthly rental, which are inclusive of food. It is for the candidates to find their own accommodation. IUCBR would like the Guardians to accompany the students to finalise these hostel facilities for their wards.
