Uttar Pradesh: The Banaras Hindu University (BHU) has introduced a new programme that grants PhD students a six-month external research experience. The program will give BHU PhD scholars the chance to do research for one semester (six months) at a reputable Indian university or research facility. Students can also take advantage of this opportunity to develop their theoretical, practical, or experimental skills.

Research scholars with a very good academic profile at undergraduate and postgraduate level, having completed their course work and quality publications to their credit will be eligible to apply for the programme. Students benefiting from the scheme will be exposed to a diverse, multicultural and competitive research atmosphere which in turn will help them excel academically and professionally.

In this programme, the visiting research scholar will receive a monthly maintenance allowance of Rs 15,000 which will be in addition to the usual fellowship.

Professor Sudhir Kumar Jain, the vice-chancellor, stated: “We want our PhD students to conduct excellent research for their thesis and prepare themselves for hard assignments ahead. Through this programme, they will be able to conduct research in a diverse, multicultural setting and earn beneficial experience. One of our primary aims is to provide new doors and possibilities for students and scholars, and the programme reflects this dedication, said Professor Jain. The scheme, carried out as a part of the Institution of Eminence, BHU, is being managed by the Sponsored Research Industrial Consultancy Cell (SRICC) headed by Prof. D. S. Pandey.
