Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR) is a research academy made an institution of national importance by an Act of the Indian Parliament. AcSIR is established with the objective of a substantial increase in the number of researchers in integrated and interdisciplinary fields of science and engineering. It offers postgraduate and doctoral degrees in 37 national laboratories and councils and 6 centers of scientific and industrial research (CSIR).
While the academy intends to maintain a high standard but it is also sensitive about talented students who may not always do well in the formal examination. Therefore, AcSIR does not usually mandate a cut-off mark and relies on its individual CSIR Labs to choose the best and brightest from the available pool.
Yes, the AcSIR Summer Training Program (AcSIR-Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Summer Training Program) provides for a 2-month period, which is currently a limited number of students pursuing their graduate/post-graduate degree. The program is funded through its AcSIR-Kalam Fellowship AcSIR. Click here for information.
