The Indian Academy of Sciences, in partnership with the Indian National Science Academy and the National Academy of Sciences India, has invited applications for the Science Academies' Summer Research Fellowship Programme 2027. The fully funded fellowship offers undergraduate, postgraduate, and integrated programme students, as well as college and university teachers, a chance to conduct summer research under leading scientists across the country.
The programme aims to provide hands-on research experience in science, engineering, and mathematics. Eligible students must have an average of at least 65% in core subjects from Class X onwards, while teachers must be currently employed at a recognised institution. PhD students cannot apply. Candidates must submit a 150-250 word original research write-up along with scanned mark sheets through the official portal. The deadline for online applications is 30 November 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Summer Research Fellowship Programme has been a fixture of India's science training landscape for decades, run jointly by the three apex science academies. With roughly 400 to 500 fellows placed each year, selection depends heavily on the quality of the research proposal and the availability of mentors among the Academy-approved guides. Candidates should note that the 65% eligibility mark is a uniform threshold regardless of discipline, and the single-application rule means careful preparation is essential. The academies typically notify selected fellows by March or April of the fellowship year, leaving sufficient time for travel and accommodation arrangements. Given the competitive intake, aspirants who tailor their research write-up to a specific Academy-approved scientist's work may improve their chances significantly.
