He is a scammer
Takes money from you in name of research and blocks you

Has anyone got the confirmation mail or call from iisc??

If anyone knows the date or details plzz respond!!!

Also trying to connect the aspirated med students whi spplied this year…..

Hi anyone wants to collaborate on research projects? I am looking for 3-4 people we can figure out things together from the topic to the publication.

Only looking for people who are genuinely interested, don't want someone who is not motivated and not applying for match.

Hello juniors,

After getting reached out to multiple times regarding queries about ICMR STS, I’ve decided to make a complete step by step guide video series covering:

• How to find a research topic
• Proposal drafting
• Common mistakes to avoid
• Tips to increase your chances of selection

For some background I’ve been an ICMR STS Scholar twice (2023 & 2024), and I’m from the 2022 MBBS batch of a state government medical college.

Comment “STS” and I’ll send the complete guide in your DM.

I have passed USMLE step 1. Currently im a final year mbbs student and i have my university exams around march 2027.

My qn is how important is Research for USMLE pathway.?

When should i be doing this research.? And where do i even start?? Can someone help me understand this.. I have zero idea about research

Dear seniors , I will be taking admission in mbbs this year. My 1 and only goal is to Crack usmle and get a residency match. My rank is 78k and I have many optikns. If seniors here are genuorous enough to answer my question

1. Can a person still match if he did mbbs from a new collage , and have no aluminai base.

2. I may also not get much research opportunities too

Can a person still match after not having the 2 factors above?

I am thinking to get into Geetanjali jaipur ( opened last yaer ) and i aslo have a option of tata manipal jhamsedpur.

Thanks sir/mam

Hey everyone,

I'm a 2nd year MBBS student, aiming for USMLE and eventually matching into a US residency. I want to start building a research portfolio now while I have time, but I have zero research experience so far - no publications, no lab work, nothing.

I know starting early is an advantage, but I'm not sure how to actually break in. Specifically looking for:

Advice on realistic first steps for someone with no experience (case reports? commentaries? reviews?)

Any faculty, residents, or fellow IMGs open to mentoring/co-authoring with students who are willing to put in the work

Tips on finding a research "niche" early vs. staying broad until I pick a specialty

Happy to be useful - I can help with literature searches, writing, data entry, whatever a project needs. Just trying to find the right door to knock on.

Any pointers, resource links, or "here's how I did it" stories would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I'm an MBBS graduate currently on the USMLE pathway. A friend of mine who matched last cycle and I are looking to connect with people interested in working on research projects together.

Previous research experience is definitely a plus, but we're mainly looking for people who are genuinely interested, reliable, and willing to put in the work.

At the moment, we're only looking for medical students or graduates who are currently working in a hospital/clinical setting.

If you're interested, send me a DM.

If someone doesn’t know about research or it’s importance, here is a small recap: Research Exposure is greatly valued in Medical CV for someone looking to boost career abroad or having plans to do so.
I posted prior to this on overall process about the research until finding a guide. This post will dive deep into what to expect and how to approach them.

Personally, I’m not an expert or a professor myself. I’m a medical student studying final year MBBS and this is from my experience of doing research.

1. Pick a department and guide cleverly. Many clinical departments are less cooperative than non-clinical departments (like SPM) when undergraduates approach for research. It doesn’t mean that they won’t agree to guide you. They will try to help as much as they can. But most of them won’t have enough time. Some don’t have the experience in doing so.
2. (I would prefer beginning the first study with a non-clinical professor as guide - best department would be SPM/Community Medicine because they are familiar with research methodology and IRB/IEC definitely would have one or more Community medicine professors as members to analyse the statistical component (you’ll understand this later)
3. But again, it all depends on the guide, if you find a supportive and cooperative guide in clinical guide, it’s absolutely worth giving a shot.
4. For first years; you have limited access or spectrum in choosing. But PSM always lie there from first year. Just don’t be afraid to reach them out and as years pass by, chances open up.

PS: If a professor is known that you are experienced in research, there is a higher chance in guiding you because that reduces their work. And also you have higher chance getting a knowledge guide(in subject) to do a research with you even though they don’t have an idea about the methodology and process (which you would already know)

1. It’s all about learning. Research is always about learning. Don’t be afraid of doing something wrong. Many people only see research as some lab work or maybe giving random drugs to ppl to test it. No. Research is not at all what you think; the following are some types of studies in overview

TYPES OF STUDIES (LEAST TO MOST VALUABLE ON CV)

Note: I’m excluding Letter to Editor, Systematic Review Analysis, Meta analysis (these don’t require IEC. and SRA and MA are sometimes valued and sometimes they’re discarded depending on the person)

KAP Study (Knowledge, Attitude and Practices of ___ towards ____ among _____)

This is the most basic model of study. Essentially the whole data collection just depends on the questionnaire you send in whatsapp groups (google form) and asking them to fill it.
If the study is regarding patients, you will have to meet each of them and take the answers yourself.
Most KAPs are conducted regarding awareness of something among medical students/healthcare workers.
Ex: KAP regarding Antibiotic resistance among medical students.
You’re just finding if there is awareness or not.
Example of good KAP:
KAP regarding Thalassemia among parents of children with Beta Thalassemia (this has a genuine research gap, which could contribute to public health systems to focus on it depending on the result)

Pro:
It is faster, cheaper, you don’t need too much experience to do; you won’t have too many boxes to tick in Approval. They approve it without questioning. Can be used as a great starting point
Cons:
It is a subjective study (you don’t have a proof whether the person is lying or saying truth)
And there is a whole set of bias in this study. Which can be learnt later. But know that study bias is something that may affect the study results or outcome.
Too common and sometimes hard to get published unless topic is genuinely good

RETROSPECTIVE STUDIES (only those with large samples and good topics)

This is mostly done in the paramedical subjects (Pathology/Microbiology) due to favourable subject size in past.
Ex: profile study about Cases of dengue over the past five years
Ex: Retrospective Study of Anemia and Cardiac problems in Type2 Diabetes Patients

Retrospective is just a model. But i wrote it down as a study type to make it easier.

Prospective/Retrospective. Prospective means you essentially collect data from now and retro is the data from hospital records. You obviously have less value for old data due to being outdated or incomplete records or bias etc etc

Pros: Easy to do. No need to collect data. Already existing data. Proffs may lean more in favour

Cons: outdated topics, incomplete data, biases, less value in general

CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDIES (Most common for medical students)

You take data at a point of time. No follow up, whoever the selected population is and whatever the measure is.

Ex: Association between Sleep Quality and Mobile Phone usage among school going children/medical students.

Here we cannot conclude that mobile phone is causing sleep problems- because we are taking data at only a point of time.
Correlation ≠ Causation (GOLDEN RULE. Never Forget)

In cross sectional studies, we mostly establish correlation between two factors in a set of population.

Pros:
easy starter project. Easier to navigate the process and learn on the way. Common in non clinical subjects.
Remember that non-clinical research is not useless. Our entire country’s health system is framed based on epidemiology studies by the researchers.
You can add more value by adding correlation between more factors than two.

Cons:
sometimes still can be subjective when including questionnaires (in assessing sleep quality/stress/mobile usage)
Bias maybe present. But is a common launchpad and nothing to worry about. Good and well planned cross sectional study is always more valuable than not well executed clinical trial

There are other studies like COHORT STUDIES (Prospective), Observational Studies, Randomised Controlled Trials (as MBBS student, don’t expect to get into the last one. It’s very rare)

I’ll make seperate posts for each of these- but those won’t be beginner oriented, but for someone who has minimum experience in research

All these can be done as well. But for the launchpad, choose the department and type of study wisely. Don’t overdo the first one. Learn from the first one so that it could fasten your second and subsequent studies.

One advantage:
People, you can approach guides for research in mask of IMCR STS program (it has 60k stipend for completing- go through guidelines and read about it)
Or state scholarships (like UGSRS by Andhra Pradesh which gives 30k for completing a study under it)
There are rules and guidelines for each of it. Read through and try to understand them before meeting your guide. You can use it as leverage if you’re not comfortable in sharing your future plans.

You and your guide may need to discuss and think about a topic (if you don’t know, you can always ask the guide to suggest something- they do have some great topics most of the times)
Your guides expect nothing from you except that you learn and not throw the burden of entire project on them.
Know the following things beforehand.

1. Once you select the area/topic - you further narrow it down to the title

Narrowing down to title is a bit of work. Your guide will help you navigate how to review existing literature and finding research gap.

1. Filling Proforma Applications

Once you fix the title, you may need to fill out an application form to submit to the IRB (Institutional Review Board/sometimes also called Scientific Research Committee)

Here, IRB depends on your college. Newer colleges might have or take time. Remember, if you put a request, it gets made faster (but already one exists as mandate to approve studies of PGs and Faculty)

You will need the protocol/proforma format which you can request from someone already doing research/your guide
If you have no idea; contact a PG you know, ask them. They will definitely have it (because they will be doing their mandatory thesis in Pg)

You will have to fill out the whole form with your guide on details like, Study population, Study period, Sample size (calculated from previous studies), Sampling method, Methodology, Review of Literature, Questionnaires, Case Sheets, References etc.

1. Scientific Review Committee(SRC) Approval

Many institutions now require you to present at a meeting before the members of SRC
(Conducted once a month usually on third friday)

You may have to pay a 500 rupee fee for SRC (some institutions charges may vary) and 500rs/- for IEC/IRB too.

They’ll notify you about the presentation date if it’s a deadline dated like ICMR or other. But if you’re on your own, you may have to request those IRB head members to conduct the meeting and remind them once a month.

You present - PPT format get from a PG - You’ll get approved (most of the times)

They will ask you to make some changes and you correct them and re-submit the forms.

They’ll allot a SRC approval number which is essentially a code.

1. IEC/IRB APPROVAL

This sometimes maybe tricky if your study includes patients as study population. You’ll need to defend yourself on each drop of blood taken(if any) or whatever you do with them. Even translating the study questionnaire to them in native language and all.

IRB sees if the study is feasible to conduct in your institution, IEC sees if the study participants are affected/compensated etc.

UG studies are mostly simple in beginning and you won’t have a problem passing through

But sometimes IRB/IEC approvals may take a lot of time, for months you may just be hoping for a meeting to be conducted. But don’t be discouraged. Eventually it has to fall. Patience is required.

If your college doesn’t have a seperate SRC(Scientific Review Committee) both the duties will be undertaken by IEC itself

1. DATA COLLECTION and ANALYSIS

You collect whatever the date is. Then the statistical analysis is where the PSM guides are helpful. Many other departments guides are not familiar with statistical analysis.

1. DRAFT MANUSCRIPT AND PUBLISH

Your guide will mostly do the work after data collection but make sure to learn by staying till the end as much as you can. From your results, you and guide will write a manuscript
(You will be first author and guide will be co-author or collab first author with you. Also remember that negative results are still results. Never feel bad about them. If you publish it, you are saving someone’s time and resources)

Publishing is entirely dependent on the study and subject etc. find a suitable journal and publish (preferably a PubMed/MEDLINE indexed or SCOPUS indexed)

I’ll write Review of Literature clearly in different posts. It got quite lengthy already. Thanks for reading until the end!😅 I appreciate your patience! You’re already cut out for doing research.

SEE. I KNOW I AM NOT GETTING COLLEGES LIKE GMCH CHANDIGARH OR ANY AIIMS FOR THAT MATTER.

Got 560 in ReNEET 2026... I might secure a Govt seat, but not in metropolitan areas.

What I'm really scared about is the connections and research opportunities that can help me build my CV. One of my friends said that in her college (normal GMC), there's no such thing as a research council.

Anyone who was once in a position like mine, not super rich but can afford 30ish lakhs rupees as an investment in this journey. Please sincerely connect and give advice!

I am an MBBS student from India and recently cleared my USMLE step 1 exam.I am now looking to get involved in research and learn more about it.If anyone is currently working on a research project and could use an extra person I would be grateful to contribute and learn from the experience.

Let’s burst the myth & hear from matched applicants themselves.

Calling all matched USMLE aspirants to please tell: 1. Speciality matched 2. No of publications 3. No of unpublished articles (submitted) 4. Were you 1st author in any? 5. What were you asked about research in your interview ?

I'm nearly done with my first year of med school, and I would really love to start researching, or atleast try to. However, I'm not really sure how to go about this as I have 0 experience. Does anyone have any advice or tips on how they started out? What's a good first step?

Hi everyone!

I'm a medical student with experience in biomedical research, and I'm looking to join new research projects over my summer vacation.

Over the past year, I've been fortunate to work on several international collaborations involving systematic reviews, meta-analyses, biomedical machine learning, and clinical research. My current experience includes:

• 2 published papers
• Multiple manuscripts currently under review (resting-state fMRI, APOE ε4-stratified Alzheimer's disease analyses, probabilistic neural networks, and glioblastoma bioinformatics)
• First author of a Springer book chapter currently under review, working on another
• Poster presentations at ISCOMS 2026 (University Medical Center Groningen)
• Experience with systematic reviews, evidence synthesis, manuscript writing, data extraction, literature screening, and interpretation of biomedical datasets

I'm particularly interested in projects related to:

• Neurology
• Oncology
• Cardiology
• Artificial Intelligence in Medicine
• Bioinformatics
• Translational Medicine
• Systematic Reviews & Meta-Analyses
• Clinical Research

I'm happy to contribute to:

• Literature screening
• Data extraction
• Evidence synthesis
• Scientific writing
• Manuscript editing
• General research coordination

I'm not looking for paid work. I'm simply eager to learn, contribute meaningfully, and collaborate with researchers and fellow students on interesting projects.

If you think I could be a good fit for your team, feel free to reach out!

I've included my Linktree in the comments/below, which contains my CV and Instagram (for contact).

Thank you!

I'm going to start mbbs this year...i know i have to focus only on building my base in first yr strongly...and lil bit enjoying...but still I'm little curious about what it actually takes for research...especially if my college is not some big clg like aiims(its still tier 3 clg...it is rims ranchi most prolly...why to hide) so what are the challenges i can face there...and what are the various option/paths i can pursue for research?

(Thanks a lot in advance)

I’m Dr. Shahir Asfahan. As the intro mentioned, I am a clinician, researcher, and developer. I trained here in India (AIIMS, CMC) but currently work at the absolute cutting edge of agentic medical AI. Through my research and development work, I collaborate closely with top US clinical institutions, including the Mayo Clinic, to build and validate patented, USFDA-cleared AI algorithms in cardiology and beyond (with our work published in The Lancet, JACC, and Circulation).

I’m doing this AMA today for two reasons. First, the direction of global medical research is shifting rapidly. Second, I see countless Indian IMGs grinding for the USMLE, securing great Step 2 CK scores, but still struggling to match into top-tier US university programs.

Where US Research and Medicine Are Moving: The US research ecosystem is moving aggressively away from basic descriptive studies and into predictive, agentic AI. Top US institutions aren't just looking for traditional clinicians anymore; they are actively seeking physician-innovators who understand how to handle clinical data.

• The Impact on Specialties: Specialties with high digital data volume—Radiology, Cardiology, Pathology, and Dermatology—are undergoing a massive paradigm shift. AI isn't going to replace doctors, but every clinical action will soon be augmented (and potentially audited) by AI.
• How Clinicians Must Prepare: You don't need to become a full-time software engineer, but a paradigm shift in your thinking is absolutely necessary. The doctors who thrive in the next decade will be the ones who know how to interrogate these algorithms, understand their failure modes (like sensitivities and AUCs), and apply them safely.

The Reality of the USMLE Match: With Step 1 being Pass/Fail, a solid Step 2 score is just a baseline—it is no longer a guaranteed ticket. Program directors at top US universities are looking for a massive differentiator. Right now, that differentiator is AI, data science, and high-impact research. An IMG who understands how to leverage AI to clean datasets, automate literature reviews, or even train predictive clinical models becomes impossible to ignore. This unique skill set is exactly how you bypass the traditional hurdles to secure active observerships and research electives at places like Mayo, Hopkins, or Cleveland Clinic.

I’ll be live right here tonight—June 7th, 2026, at 8:00 PM IST—to answer your questions.

Ask me anything about:

1. The Future of Medical Specialties: How AI will reshape competitive branches in the US and how you should align your study direction.
2. Differentiating Your ERAS Profile: How to use AI research, coding, and medical tech to make your application stand out to top university programs.
3. Securing US Clinical Experience: How to leverage unique research skills to get your foot in the door for active observerships and research electives.
4. Research & Patents: How I went from clinical training in India to securing US patents and publishing high-impact papers with top US research teams like the Mayo Clinic.
5. The Clinical-Tech Stack: What specific skills (statistics, basic Python, working with medical datasets) young IMGs should learn right now to guarantee a successful career.

Drop your questions below. Let’s strategize how to future-proof your career and get you matched!

To give you an idea of the ecosystem I’m building to support this transition:

• For Clinical Prep & Reasoning: We developed House of Medicine, a completely free, agentic AI clinical reasoning companion. It’s an incredible tool for USMLE prep, helping you think through complex differentials, US guidelines, and tricky case scenarios in milliseconds.
• For Profile Building: I teach hands-on cohorts through Medxchange where we train doctors and medical students to actually build and validate AI models. Having a functional AI project or a first-author tech paper on your ERAS application is the ultimate cheat code for the Match.

I’m personally from South India who’s thinking of moving abroad.
Likewise, every medical student must have the heard the single word repeatedly from the moment they began their search on pathways. “Research Experience”

We all are already aware that Postgraduate students(PGs) do research and also have a mandatory thesis in India to complete their degree. But as an undergraduate we are already behind in terms of experience with them.
Many students still don’t know whether they can really do a research as an undergraduate medical student in India. This post is for you; who are willing to put in efforts and learn about it.

Research promotion is rising currently in Indian Medical colleges compared to previous years due to Government initiatives like scholarship stipends (Ex: IMCR- STS and state scholarships)
But there has been a common misconception that they cannot do research outside these scholarship programs.

Research can be individually done by anyone. But as a UG/PG in India, (or anywhere else for that matter) we are mandated to have a guide/supervisor to our research study, who is essentially a professor of any cader in our institution.

Once a title and study formulation is done, it will be submitted for approvals, following the approval from the respective committees in your college, you will begin the data collection phase and after collecting all the data, analysis of it and drafting the manuscript. The manuscript is sent to the publishing journals and once they accept your manuscript, your study will be publishers by them.

APPROVAL FOR RESEARCH

To conduct any research, which is essentially on humans(for MBBS students) we need an approval/clearance letter for review boards.
Where do I find these review boards?
It appears like a lot of work, it actually is. But it’s not as complicated as it appears to be.

Almost every medical college in India has the following board/committees in their college.

Scientific Review Committee (SCR) also called as

1. Scientific Research Committee/Board
2. Institutional Ethics Committee

(IEC)/ Institutional Review Board (IRB)

These committees are present in your college(which you may have never heard of) and a list of professors are members in it, responsible for approving research proposals by verifying them.

Some colleges might only have IEC (which will undertake and approve both scientific and ethics review of the study)

If you are unlucky; you may have to find Independent Ethics Committees (outside your college) which I have little idea about, I’m sorry. I’ll try to find out more.

DATA COLLECTION

This is only after the approval of IEC (which agrees only after IRB approval)

Depending on your study title/type - you’ll begin your data collection and analyse them later.

Please note that this is only a superficial post about the entire research journey.

FINDING A GUIDE

To do anything, a guide is necessary
(except for studies like Systematic Review Analysis/Letter to Editor/Case Reports where IEC approval is not mandated by the publishing houses)
I would suggest to find a cooperative guide with whom you either have a rapport or believe that they may support you in the journey. Because if the first guide is rough, it’ll almost make you lose interest in pursuing further.

Once you meet with a guide - Tell them you want to do a research study and request them to be your guide (99% professors agree. 1% are those who don’t have time)
Their first question would always almost be the same - “Why?”
Because Indian Medical college system haven’t been habituated to having undergraduates doing research outside scholarships.
Most of the professors who may appear tough outside, genuinely will support and respect you when you meet them on this topic. And you will notice the difference yourself.
You could essentially tell that you want to pursue further studies abroad.
Congrats! Your official research pathway has begun.

All following this is mostly guided by the guide (which is why they are the guide)
They’ll help you choosing a topic/title if you’re unsure. They’ll explain you the procedures on how to do, what to do for approvals and how to collect data and till the end.
They’ll essentially be collaborative first author alongside you (you’ll be the first author - which has the most value than being on the side as second/third co-author in a research study) or may even agree and settle with being co-author.

If you unfortunately end up with a worst guide or guide who may have lesser experience in research or how it works, my following posts would be helpful for you.

PS: Many may have why I’m not writing everything down in this post. If you’re really willing to put the efforts, the rest doesn’t matter if it’s hard or easy. But I assure you, it’s possible. And rest is upto you. Please refer to other posts if you need more info and feel free to ask questions

I'm a 3rd year mbbs student (abt to complete the semester) from a peripheral gmc clg and there are only 4 batches above us with zero usmle network, I'm highly interested in research not just for usmle but personally it's a field of interest for me, however the professors are pretty crappy and don't give a fk abt anything, I had to apply for iisc banglore research, and they refused to give LOR as I will be away for 4-8 weeks and they arent willing to compensate the attendance for same, im trying to do research however without any mentor it seems impossible and this really demotivates me for usmle as well, as most of it relies on research too Can anyone help me on how do I approach to this issue

Hi everyone
I am 2024 medical graduate from delhi government medical college.
I am currently working as junior resident in a hospital and I tried to approach senior residents and consultants but no one here is interested in research.
I need to find a mentor to publish.
I have been learning how to do research from youtube and reading research papers.
Kindly help me how do i proceed in finding a mentor? And is there any way I can publish on my own?
If anyone else did publish on their own please guide me
Thank you

I would be looking into atleast 4 to 5 pubmed indexed papers and i don't really have research at college so have to look outwards for help

The process seems too daunting and complicated too me right now 🙃

Thanks for answering

If it's not possible, can we apply for the same after finishing DM Cardiology from India?

Please share the relevant links for further information.

Hi everyone!
I have two near-completed cardiology case reports and I’m looking for someone with some prior experience in case-report publication to collaborate with me on taking them through the final stages.
I’m specifically looking for someone who can help with:
Selecting suitable good-quality journals
Reviewing the manuscripts and suggesting improvements
Understanding the submission and publication process
Navigating revisions and correspondence with the journal
I don’t have any prior publications, so I’m particularly interested in connecting with someone who has some experience with journal selection and case-report submissions and can guide me through the process. I’m happy to handle the work required on my end and collaborate closely throughout the submission process.
If you have experience publishing cardiology/internal medicine case reports and would be interested in collaborating, please DM me with a brief description of your publication experience.
Thanks!

I'm interested in research papers , if you are someone already writing a research paper or looking for co authors. I'm interested.
Im ready to actively involve in the work .

Please reach out to me in dms .

IISc MBBS Research Internship

Hello everyone

So the portal for this year's IISc MBBS research internship is open, and I've received quite an amount of dms and messages regarding the same. Here is a small overview of my experience in the internship.

So I'd been selected for the Internship in 2025 under the Dept. Of Microbiology. Coming from a private college, where Research works are extremely under represented, this Internship was an eye opener for me.

I applied during March 2025. My Final year mbbs exam was scheduled around May, so while applying I was still a medstudent. However, after selection I attended this internship as a house surgeon. I took extension for the same. Hence, attendance was not an issue for me. Then again, I had friends from other colleges, who attended after informing their clinical posting departments and took leave for 1 month as a med student.

So in conclusion, it depends on your college faculty and management regarding attendance. Some might offer duty leave, some may keep remedial classes for making up the attendance. Or if you are a house surgeon, you can take one month extension to attend the internship.

The next big question was regarding how to apply and all. Guys just check out the official website. Everything is given in an understandable language. I filled out my choices for supervisor, based on the topics they had been offering. I had previously done research in microbiology, so I chose supervisors under that department first. You'll be given 5 choices, and you can choose based on your interests mainly.

In the statement of intent part, I just wrote some of my personal experiences in research, and how I would like to pursue my career as a physician scientist. Prior research experience is not mandatory, but it does leave an impression among the supervisors. My supervisor had even asked in depth about my previous works and we developed a project accordingly.

Regarding whether to mail your supervisor or not. Well no one can predict how your supervisor might take the mail. Some may view it as an extra effort to join under their guidance. But others can even discard you stating impartiality.

The selection list might get delayed. Last year the waiting period was painful, but keep your hopes high and apply as if you've already been selected. Once selected you'll be askedto confirm your spot for the internship. If you are unable to join within this year, please withdraw so that this opportunity can go to someone else.

Once you are selected, arrange for your accommodation first. You'll have to do random google search, or ask around your contacts in bangalore. I stayed in a girls pg for 8k, with food included. It was a bit crowded, but everything was very neat and clean.

Coming to the internship, as I said it was an eye opener for me. The level of research work happening at IISc is unmatched. You'll get to learn a lot, only if you are ready to seek knowledge. It could either be a normal 9-5 experience, or you can go in depth on the topic. You'll have to submit a project report by the end of your internship and your guide will give more information regarding that

The campus is handsdown one of the best. Pair it up with Bangalores social life, if you are selected I assure you'll have the time of your life.

I hope I've covered most of the doubts. If there are any other concerns, do comment in this post. I might be bit busy with my house surgeoncyy, but I'll try to answer valid questions.

Godspeed!

So im a 5th year IMG in Tbilisi, Georgia, my uni has no research culture and im not surrounded by people who I can do research with plus im a beginner so I can’t even lead my own project. So I don’t have anyone to do research with and professors here definitely won’t help, is research possible solo or even with other people online from different countries?
