Summer training continued -1

Before I go further....i will let you know some important things and tips about Summer trainings and Internships.

Good things to know about....

1. students generally carry out summer trainings between the months of may and august of every year.

2.There is not need to pay and carry out any summer training program in India unless n until you feel it as worthy.For example if we take the case of our top biotech research institute RGCB,Trivandrum it offers training for selected candidates for which it charges about 10,000 rs which i feel as worth paying.I say no need to pay because there are plenty of research institutes and universities all over India for any field of science and technology. Government encourages scientist and students for summer internships and also allocates certain funds.

3. For summer training one should be proactive and should apply in their 1st,2nd,3rd,4th years of their bachelor degree between the months of sept-jan of every year.

4. You are never late for applying,you can even get in the month of April or may but your approach towards the scientist or the institute really matters.

5. Students learn a lot during these internship like new techniques, new equipment, meet different kinds of students from different institutes and regions, chance to attend exciting seminars, workshops, meet great scientists, access to innumerable literature (like research papers, international n national publications, online access to literature, phd works etc.).

6. Also one can get a chance to differentiate between actual research enivornment and college environment.

Other things to know(say some disadvantages).....

1. You may lose interest in the normal way of college teaching and will be more inclined towards research after summer internship.

2. Some rare chances that you dont like your guide(scientist are refered such) or the research work can happen.

3. One more thing just concentrate on the work first two week and try to finalize your research topic and then try to look for other things like roaming out or sightseeing(if you are new to that place).


If I forgot any thing i will edit this particular post.....so until then keep rocking and all the very best
