To present forth a narrative of working in academia first-hand, IDIA Assam Chapter is hosting this workshop to help us put our thoughts and ideas into action.
The principal objective of the Workshop is for the students to better understand the nuances of a career in academia, and to make them informed about the various compartments in academia, besides UGC-NET and how they can land a profession of their interest, especially abroad.
