We are R & D organization !
NIO often receives requests for admissions to academic courses
in oceanography. NIO does not offer any UG/PG/Diploma courses
at this institute nor conduct any regular on-job-training courses.
We do not charge any fees for dissertation or summer interns programs. All the laboratory expenses involved in students programs are met by NIO funds. Students have to arrange for their travel and living expenses. Free medical consultancy in case of any emergency is available at our dispensary, but hospitalisation and other treatment expenditures to be met by the student
Opportunities for the students at NIO
There are, however, opportunities for undergraduate and post
graduate students to work for their projects. Preference is
given to the students required to undertake projects as a
part of their curriculum. Types of opportunities available
are:
- Summer Internships (May to July of every year)
- Dissertation projects (Any time during the year except
May to July)
Besides this, there are other opportunities for other levels
of students from Goa and other places:
- Student workshops (for school children of Goa)
- Educational visits (for all students)
Summer-internship
(Applications are entertained only during January
and February of the internship year)
Dissertation Project
(Applications
for dissertation programme can be sent any-time of
the year.

The summer internships/dissertation programs are
meant for the students to acquaint themselves with
the oceanographic studies and research methods in
any branch of oceanography (note that oceanography
is a multidisciplinary subject). To apply for these
programmes, follow the procedure given below:
- Interested student should visits project and other
pages and acquaint with the work being carried out
at this institute. Establish a contact with suitable
scientist/s with expression of interest in working
for a short project/training under his/her guidance
(the links to concerned scientists' biodata are
available from their project pages), and obtain
consent of the scientist in any written form (e-mail,
post, fax). Click
here to view the titles of the projects completed
by earlier students.
-
The HoD/ Dean / Principal / Placement
officer of the student’s institution need
to send a request letter addressed to Director,
NIO, indicating student's interest in a specific
branch of oceanography along with (i) brief CV of
the student, (ii) copy of the latest examination's
marksheet, (iii) copy of the communication between
the student and scientist at NIO.
-
Application with all above documents
to be sent to HRM-Students Wing or directly to the
consented scientist only during January- February
of the internship year-in case of summer internship,
or any time of the year for dissertation program.
-
Applications having consent of
the NIO-scientist will be processed further for
placement, while those without consent of scientist
will be placed on our notice for a specified period
to find a supervisor. In case suitable supervisor
is not available then a regret letter will be sent.
In case of summer internship program the placement
or regret letters will be sent by end-of-March.
In case of dissertation communication will be sent
within 8 weeks of receiving the application. Placement/regret
letters are sent only to the department of the student
not directly to the student. Hence students to keep
touch with their department/college.
-
Note that requests without prior
consent of our scientist have less chance of placement
than the application with written consent.
-
Students required to carry out dissertations
as part of their curriculum (for a period of over
3 months) on any specific subject are grouped under
Dissertation category. Such dissertation can be
taken-up during any part of the year except summer
(May to July).
-
Procedure for application for dissertation
project is same as above.
-
In case you find it difficult to
establish contact with the identified scientist,
send you application directly to HRM - Student Wing,
indicating the name(s) of scientist(s) under whom
you would like to undertake the proposed project.
However, the placement for such request is not guaranteed.
|
-
Request letters
for both programs (on official letterhead only,
having all contact details) should be from HoD/Dean/Principal/Placement
Officer and to be addressed to DIRECTOR,
NIO, with attention of Consented Scientist
or HRM-Students Wing. Just forwarding the request
letter written by the student will not be considered.
-
Time-overlapping
in the above two programs is not permitted. Therefore,
Dissertation students should plan their stay at
NIO avoiding May-July. Summer interns will not be
allowed to extend their stay beyond July. Clubbing
both programs in one application is not permitted.

Student
Workshops
|
| Oceans are dearer to all
of us. Knowledge of the seas around us is a must for
every young student. This website provides ample opportunities
to have such knowledge (visit outreach for example).
As a routine programme, NIO organizes two-days workshop
on oceanography for the students from Goa who ranked
in first 120 in their SSC or CBSE exams. The invitations
are sent directly to the individuals as and when such
programmes are organized.

Educational
Visits
|
| NIO does provide an opportunity
to the students from outside Goa to visit us and understand
about oceanographic studies that we carry out. While
you are welcome during any working day to visit this
institute, we would organize your visit better if an
advance intimation is sent and the consent is sought.
