CCMB Summer Program 2011
Eligibility Qualifications
The training program is open to students from all branches of sciences and open to all Indian
universities/research institutes.
Only the Students who are admitted in a Master’ program (M.Sc.) in year
2010 or B. Tech. (4 year) program in 2008 can apply, i.e., the students who
will complete their 1st year of M. Sc. or 6th Semester of B. Tech. in
June/July 2011 are eligible to apply;
M. Tech. students are not eligible.

Computer science students with flair for biology may also apply.
Training Program
It is not a conventional class-room lectures based training program. Instead, each
selected candidate/trainee will be assigned to a CCMB staff scientist who will
supervise/mentor them during their stay. Each student is expected to execute a small
project work under the guidance of the scientist. At the end of the program, student will
need to submit a ‘Project Report’ of the work done, and also would be required to
make an oral presentation.
The program is mainly intended to give students a real exposure/hands-on experience

to a research environment, in the hope that it would inculcate in them a zeal for
research as a future career.
Although, efforts are made to take into consideration the ‘statement of

purpose’/research interest of the selected students (while assigning to different
Scientists), but it is generally not possible in many cases; as the allotments are mainly
based on the availability of working place(s) in different labs and not the other way
around. Therefore, only those students should apply for the training
program, who are ready to work in any lab in CCMB, if selected.
Application procedure
Application for the Summer Program 2011 can be down loaded (Zipped pdf
file). Completed application (Hard copy) for the program MUST reach CCMB
by the first Monday of February 2011. The names of the Selected candidates
would be made available on CCMB homepage during the second week of April
2011 (here, it may be noted that no separate intimation would be sent to
any candidate, and thus all applicants should look for the ‘selection
list’ on CCMB homepage only).
Selection Process
A committee nominated by the Director, CCMB, selects the trainees. One of the major
criteria used in selection is that the selected candidates should represent the Nation-
wide coverage of different Indian states (based on the location of their academic
institutions, but irrespective of their birthplace, sex, cast or religion). ‘Statement of
purpose’ and the ‘Recommendation/reference Letter’ are other important
considerations in the selection of candidates along with the academic record. A few
seats (~5%) are reserved for the children of CCMB employees.
The number of trainees’ intake varies between 40-45 candidates, and mainly depends
upon the availability of bench space with different staff scientists of CCMB. On an
average we receive ~1500 applications, of which only 3.0 – 4.0 % candidates make it
to the program.
Important dates
The program is for duration of 60 days (~eight weeks) in the months of May-July 2011.
Last date for receipt of Application in CCMB: Monday, the 7th February 2011.
Selected candidate’s LIST on CCMB homepage Between 10-15, April 2011
(No separate letter of intimation will be sent from CCMB to the selected candidates)
Last date for selected candidates to inform their

Support /Boarding/Lodging
CCMB will not provide any financial support for boarding/ lodging. All the
selected candidates are required to self-finance their stay in CCMB/ Hyderabad.
Further, the candidates would also need to make their own arrangement for stay
in Hyderabad.
Important points to note

As is evident from our experience in earlier years, the
competition is very high for the few available seats with an
average chance of selection being only 3.0 – 4.0 %.
Applications for SummerProgram 2011 MUST be submitted as
a hard copy. The application incomplete in any respect will be
rejected/not considered.
Requests/applications for the program sent prior to this
notification will not be considered. Any such candidate must apply
again using the prescribed application form.
There is no FEE for the training program; but all selected
candidates have to bear their boarding/lodging expenditure
during the 60-day stay at CCMB.
The decision of the Centre in regard to the selection of
candidates shall be final.
Canvassing in any form and /or bringing in any influence,
political or otherwise, will be treated as a disqualification.
Selected candidates are expected to have cleared their final
exams (1st year in case of M.Sc. students, and 6th semester in
case of B. Tech. students) before joining the program and thus
are required to bring the documentary proof for the same. On
the other hand, for students, whose results may be awaited at
that time, students would need to provide a certificate from
their college certifying that they have appeared for the exams,
and that the results are yet to be declared.
All candidates selected for the program would need to spend a
minimum period of 60 days in CCMB without any break. This
is one of the most important requirements and accordingly, all
candidates need to furnish a certificate from their Head of the
Department/Competent authority of the college/institute to this
effect (see the Application form) for instructions.
