Training Programmes

RCB offers research training to post-graduate students of biotechnology related areas from various universities/ institutions/ colleges of repute to carry out their project work towards partial fulfilment of their post-graduate degrees. 

Short-term summer training/internships are also offered to students interested in research areas of specialisation in RCB. Selection is based on the strength of resume and evaluation of write-up on their research interests. Selected candidates undergo research training under the mentorship of RCB faculty. They learn to carry out related research projects in collaboration with other group members in the lab.

Trainees get a realistic experience of several facets of conducting modern biological research and embarking on a research career. The training programmes range from two to six months' duration.

RCB also provides short-term training opportunities (2-3 months) to students sponsored by KVPY, INSPIRE, Summer Research Fellowship programme sponsored by Science Academies (INSA, IAS, NASI) etc. Direct applications are NOT considered for the Short-term training program.

Programme Structure

Six-month research training is offered to final year students pursuing their post graduation in science or BTech/MTech students of universities / institutions / colleges. The trainee gets mentored by the RCB faculty. 

The application   must be forwarded by the Head of Department stating that dissertation is a requirement for completion of his/her ongoing MSc programme.  

RCB does not provide any accommodation to the trainees. The students are expected to make their own accommodation arrangements for the entire period  of the training. It is mandatory for 

trainees to attend the training for the entire duration of six months. The scientists at the centre work in multiple disciplines at the expansive interface of life sciences and biotechnology. The details of the research work carried out at RCB can be seen on the website www.rcb.res.in.
