Spark Programme

Students who take up the research work on any subject will need to complete it within two months. Interested candidates will need to submit their research proposals through SPARK portal which will be evaluated by the experts. Initially, there are only 100 seats for this SPARK programme, but it will be increased in times to come depending upon the students’ response and the quality of research work undertaken by them.
