Interns who successfully finish will get a certificate from the Dean, SRIC, as reported by The Indian Express.
Applicant areas of interest, prior research experience, and motivation for the research should all be mentioned. Candidates may register for more than one project; specific project details are not necessary. A weekly stipend of Rs. 2,500 will be given to selected candidates.
