PhD Programs: List of the Proposals

---

The successful NET (CSIR-UGC) candidates (Physical and Chemical Sc.) of 2010-2011 are requested to see the list of topics on which PhD programs are available at CGCRI in the session starting from August, 2011 and send their responses to dipten@cgcri.res.in mentioning the choice. An orientation program will shortly be organized at the Institute for direct meeting with the scientists and visit of the laboratory. The traveling expenses of the outstation candidates will be reimbursed as per rule.
