I would like to consider NIFS as the turning point in my academic career. During my tenure as a research assistant and a M.Phil student, I was exposed to many opportunities to gain and share knowledge and also to sharpen my skills related to the field with the facilities offered at NIFS. I had an excellent guidance and supervision (PI:Prof. Suresh P. Benjamin, EEB) throughout my project and really had a time to grow academically in that motivating working environment. My experience and performance at NIFS has paved the way to peruse my PhD. Thus undoubtedly , working in NIFS is one of the the best opportunities I've got in my life.
