VMSRF admits a limited number of bright graduate students qualified for CSIR research fellowship for Ph.D programme recognised by Bangalore and Mysore Universities. The leads obtained from the basic studies are taken up by the core scientists for applied research and process development. This facility is open for candidates with the background of either biology or chemistry.
