India has world class research institutes for various subjects in the discipline of Science. Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) is the chief of most of the scientific research activity in India. There are more than 30 premier research organizations working under the purview of CSIR. Apart from CSIR, Indian Council of Medical Research and DRDL supervise research activities in the institutions those comes under their purview.
In order to promote research orientation, the Govt. of India is generously offering various fellowships and scholarships to students who join in research courses at national level research organizations. UGC, CSIR, ICMR, DBT and other organizations offer fellowship schemes to students and research scholars of various science disciplines. The Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences and National Board of Higher Mathematics promote research activities in universities and other research institutions.
CSIR – UGC NET is the prestigious exam for these fellowships. Here are the Success Tips for CSIR – UGC NET Exam.
