Complete Guide to IAS-INSA-NASI SRFP Fellowship with Charan P S V V

IAS-INSA-NASI Summer Research Fellowship Programme | Complete Step-by-Step Guide + 1:1 Mentorship

The Indian Academy of Sciences - Summer Research Fellowship Programme (SRFP) is one of India’s most prestigious national research fellowship opportunities, jointly offered by the Indian Academy of Sciences (IAS), Indian National Science Academy (INSA), and The National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI).

The programme gives selected students and teachers the opportunity to spend two continuous months conducting authentic research under the guidance of distinguished scientists at leading research institutes across India.

In this one-on-one video session, I’ll help you navigate the SRFP application journey step by step, with a strong focus on building and strategically positioning your application.

What we’ll cover:

• CV Review & Profile Positioning: How to effectively present your academic achievements, research experience, skills, and interests.
• Statement of Purpose (SOP): How to structure a clear, authentic, and compelling SOP that communicates your motivation and research interests.
• Research Proposal: Guidance on developing and refining a focused proposal aligned with your research interests and potential scientist-guide.
• Application Strategy: A personalised strategy to approach the application, position your profile effectively, and avoid common mistakes.
• Personalised Guidance: Individual feedback tailored to your academic background, research experience, interests, and career goals.

The fellowship typically provides two months of research training, along with financial support and travel reimbursement, allowing selected fellows to gain hands-on exposure to research at leading institutions across India.

I have personally mentored students applying for highly competitive research opportunities, including IAS-INSA-NASI SRFP, and have guided numerous students through profile building, scientist outreach, application strategy, SOPs, CVs, and research proposals.

If you are genuinely interested in gaining hands-on research experience under an established scientist, this session is designed to help you understand not just what to submit, but how to strategically approach the entire SRFP application.

Start early. Plan strategically. Strengthen your profile. Make your SRFP application count.
