FAQ:

1. Why don't I find my name in the list of selected candidates, although I have already received a confirmation from you stating that I am selected for the internship?
   I might have missed your name unintentionally. Write me immediately about this.

2. I want to do my summer internship under your supervision but I am not a student of IISER Pune. May I get an accommodation?
   The summer internship is an outreach program of IISER, managed centrally. For an internship, you need to apply via <http://www.iiserpune.ac.in/~sspc> only. The application process is closed. Only the selected candidates via this channel are provided with free accommodation by IISER. Thus I have no freedom to provide a candidate with accommodation who has not applied via the portal.

3. I am selected for a project with you via IAS channel. Is it possible to get an accommodation in IISER, Pune?
   Yes, but by payment basis.

4. I have applied through the IISER Summer program portal. How much is the chance factor for getting selected?
   Every year I receive more than a hundred applications. But for logistic constraints, I can select at most two candidates.

5. Does contacting you by email or phone help in highlighting the cv or increasing the chance of getting selected.
   No, not at all. Repeated communication might actually leave a negative impression.

6. I have applied through the IISER Summer program portal. I am not selected. May I still get a chance to do a project under your supervision?
   Those who do not need an accommodation from IISER, may not need to apply via the portal and contact me separately for a project and if appropriate, I may agree to mentor.

7. I already have an accommodation in Pune (inside or outside IISER Campus). How can I apply for a summer project?
   Write me at my iiserpune email id along with your college id no., a CV, a copy of the transcript, a statement of motivation, and a statement of the proficiency in computer programming.

8. I am selected for this project. However, I am not very familiar with the concepts of financial math. What should I prepare as a prerequisite?
