    You may ask your lecturers/mentors or professors who can assess your academic interests and skills and write a recommendation letter for you. You can provide their contact information in the application after you receive confirmation from them. The application system will send an email to them with a link to upload the recommendation letter.

  • Can students from private institutes apply?

    Yes. Students enrolled in private universities/colleges/institutes also can apply. Please select "Govt aided" option in while filling your application. However, the main idea of Scienspur is to help the students from public colleges who otherwise will not get access to the educational resources that others get. Hence the review committee cannot guarantee the slot in the cohort.
