The Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore has opened applications for the inaugural session of the Research Science Initiative-India (RSI-India), a prestigious summer research programme for high school students.
Sponsored by the Adani Group, the six-week programme will be held from June 15 to July 26, at the IISc campus in Bengaluru.
RSI-India is modeled after the globally renowned Research Science Institute (RSI) at MIT, run by the Center for Excellence in Education (CEE) since 1984. The programme aims to provide academically outstanding students with an immersive STEM research experience at no cost.
A total of 35 students will be selected based on academic achievements, personal statements, exam scores, letters of recommendation, and school transcripts. They will be paired with IISc research mentors and will participate in coursework, hands-on research, and a final symposium where they will present their findings.
