Platinum Internship Programme at CGCRI!

As a part of the platinum jubilee celebration, CSIR-CGCRI is proud to announce the ‘PLATINUM Internship Award’ to invite young undergraduates to gain from the knowledge and experience of accomplished scientists by working at CSIR-CGCRI and to inspire them to pursue S&T as a career. This is meant to be a preparatory phase for young interns to imbibe the spirit of inquiry and learn the tools and techniques of research during their stay at CSIR-CGCRI.
