This program offers an opportunity to undergraduate/masters students of Science and Engineering to work with faculty and post-doctoral fellows of the Centre and to participate in research at the frontiers of knowledge. Students from previous years have contributed productively to research at ICTS, and many have continued research careers at universities around the world (see the links under "Students" on the right).
Applications are invited from both Indian and foreign nationals.
For the Physics stream, this summer program also provides an early route to the Ph.D and Int Ph.D graduate program at ICTS.

Upon subsequently clearing a written test and interview, successful candidates will receive early PhD/Int PhD offers.
