IBAB Internship Programme
Internships are short-term research training programmes that are beneficial for undergraduate and postgraduate
students. The institute strongly encourages its faculty members to host interns from external organizations. However, due to space and resource constraints, only a limited number of interns can be hosted at any given time.
Further details about the internship programme are as follows:
Eligibility: Undergraduate and postgraduate students, who wish to carry out short-term projects in biotechnology,
bioinformatics and big data in biology either as part of their course requirements, or for building essential research
skills.
Duration: Minimum two months; longer commitments are preferred.
Stipend: None*.
Internship charges: None.
Hostel accommodation: Interns may be eligible to stay in the hostel, depending on space availability. Hostel
charges have to be paid separately.
Dining hall access: Interns are eligible to dine in the IBAB canteen. Dining charges have to be paid separately.
Process of applying: Students interested in an internship at IBAB must approach the individual faculty with whom
they want to work. If the faculty member is interested and has a vacancy in their lab, they will screen the student’s
application and decide on the next steps.
To apply, students should send an email to the concerned faculty member including the following information:
- Up-to-date CV, including contact information
- Cover Letter stating why they are interested in working with the concerned faculty member
- Preferred duration of internship and possible start-end dates
IBAB faculty members shall not sign as External Supervisors on B.Tech./M.Sc./M.Tech thesis of interns.
Confirmation of selection: Only successful candidates will be notified of their selection into the IBAB internship
programme. The decision of the faculty member is final. At the time of joining, interns will be required to submit an
‘Internship Joining Form’ as per IBAB’s guidelines. All interns must have valid health and
accident insurance coverage before starting their internship.
Experience certificate: Upon completion of the internship, IBAB will issue an experience certificate. This will be
based on the student’s performance during the internship.
*At the discretion of the faculty member.
