Research Opportunities
JSS Academy of Higher Education & Research has a strong focus on research and innovation, as highlighted by its recognition in the field of research.
They have a dedicated research division and offer Doctoral (Ph.D.) programs with an entrance test and interview process.
For online students, the direct involvement in extensive research projects typical of on-campus Ph.D. or research programs might be limited due to the remote nature of study. However, students in online postgraduate programs might be encouraged to undertake research-oriented projects as part of their curriculum, especially in specialized fields like Bioinformatics. For dedicated research (e.g., Ph.D. level), direct communication with the university's research departments is recommended to understand the feasibility and requirements for online students.
Internship Opportunities
The university emphasizes providing students with internship opportunities.
They assist students in gaining practical experience through various means. While the primary focus is on on-campus internships (e.g., industrial training for 6 weeks for undergraduate students after 6 semesters), the career support for online programs would likely extend to guiding students in finding and securing virtual or local internships relevant to their online studies.
