When the programme was first started it was aimed at helping M.Sc. students retain their interest in the chosen discipline.
An effort to expose postgraduate students of physics in the State in the 1990s to research through a Summer Training Programme (STP) has now expanded to include other disciplines such as chemistry, biology and, for the first time, mathematics. When the programme was first started it was aimed at helping M.Sc. students retain their interest in the chosen discipline. The summer vacation was used to help them revise subjects. To make it attractive students, particularly those from rural areas, they were selected and accommodated in Anna University’s hostels for a month, and travel assistance was paid. The effort reaped benefits as the interaction with eminent faculty from other universities, the Indian Institute of Technology Madras and scientists from IGCAR, Kalpakkam, inspired students to expand their academic horizons.More Related News
