Have you heard about SURGE (Students-Undergraduate Research Graduate Excellence), a research program meant to develop and promote a research and interdisciplinary education culture amongst undergraduates. Under this program, students from IIT-K and other participating institutions all across India and SAARC nations undertake short-duration but focused research projects under professors. The duration of the program is approximately eight weeks.

Talking about NSRC ’23, Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Director IIT Kanpur, said, “The pandemic has emphasized not only the need to have a healthcare system in place, but the important role that technology can play in making it more efficient. There are exciting innovations taking place in this field. This is the reason why medtech is the focus of NSRC ’23 this year. We hope that NSRC’23 will excite our young students.”

You should always be eager to learn things you are interested in and never hesitate to seek help from your mates or professors or anyone who is involved in the field.

In Caltech there is greater independence. The bridge between being felt like an undergrad and a researcher becomes thinner with more freedom. When we do an UGP here at IITK there is constant guidance from the mentors. Both the systems have their own pros and cons but working in Caltech was a great experience for me.
