Research Scholarships in GT-Biotechnology

A research scholarship program for MSc and PhD students is available to conduct thesis research with an ICRISAT scientist. Students must be enrolled in a university of their choice for the MSc/PhD degree. The thesis related research, after course work and the preliminary examinations at the university, may be conducted under an ICRISAT scientist provided the university recognizes the ICRISAT scientist to serve on their student’s thesis research advisory committee. The thesis research problem must be suitable for the degree being pursued and acceptable to the University and to ICRISAT. The financial support for the university residency is not available from ICRISAT funds. The students are expected to be self-supported or have financial support from any institution/project/donor during the period of their study program at ICRISAT. Our financial support for the thesis research will depend on funding availability and relevance to ICRISAT research priorities.
