Can I apply for a travel grant?
Please note that CAMP is unable to support national/international travel for students. However, registration, accommodation, and food are covered by the course for all participants. Please consult your university, PI, or external sources to fund your travel.
What type of visa is needed for CAMP and what is the duration of its validity?
A Conference Visa is required to attend CAMP. This visa is valid for a maximum period of one month.
Can I extended my visa for travelling in India?
You must apply for a separate tourist visa if you plan to stay longer than one month.
What passport information should be provided for Dual Citizens? (Holders of 2 or more passports.)
Use the passport whose details you had initially provided us with. This is because we have sent those details to the Ministry of External Affairs, which processes and clears you for entry on a conference visa.
I am an undergraduate, am I eligible to apply?
Undergraduates who are currently in their final year and Master-level students are eligible to apply.
Can I extended my accommodation?
The course funds will cover accommodation and food for the duration of CAMP. Please note that we cannot provide accommodation and food for more than the duration of the conference. If you have to stay longer than a few days, please write to us. Your request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
When will I know the results?
Results will be shared over email on or before 31st May 2024. Please only email us about the status of your application after this date.
I don’t have a programming/math background. Can I still apply?
Yes. In the past, we have had students from varied backgrounds, including psychology, IT, molecular biology, etc., who have done well in the course. We encourage students from all backgrounds to apply. During projects, people with complementary backgrounds are grouped so that students can learn from each other.
Can I skip a day of the course?
No. Selected participants must be present on all days of the course.
What is the process for submitting the reference letters?
Once you have submitted your application, your referees will be contacted to submit the letters. They will receive a link to upload a PDF file. Reference letters must reach us before 3rd May 2024.
