The Indian Institute of Astrophysics is a premier national centre for research and development in theoretical as well as experimental astronomy, astrophysics and related physics. The main campus of the Institute is in Koramangala, Bangalore. It operates observational facilities at Kodaikanal, Kavalur, Gauribidanur and Hanle over a wide range of electromagnetic spectrum, and experimental facilities at the Centre for Research and Education in Science and Technology (CREST) campus at Hosakote near Bangalore. It is participating in national and international development projects on ground-based as well as space-borne facilities.

With an aim of training and motivating under-graduate and post-graduate level students from Colleges and Universities across the country, IIA has instituted various internship and training programmes. As part of these programmes, IIA organises summer programmes every year, wherein students are exposed to research in Astronomy and Astrophysics. The online pages here facilitate interested students in applying to the summer programme.
Selected students will be paid a fellowship of Rs. 10,000 per month (prorated) with free accommodation at the IIA campus in Bangalore (during the period of the Internship programme) and Kodaikanal (during the period of School in Physics and Astrophysics Programme). They also will be reimbursed second class rail fare or bus fare between the place of residence or study and Kodaikanal/Bangalore.
