Frequently Asked globalink Questions

Is the program open to students beyond India?

 

Yes, for Globalink 2012, we are accepting applications from students in China, Brazil and Mexico in addition to India.  We continue to explore expansion opportunities in new geographies

How are students selected? Is it purely based on grades or are other factors considered?

 

Grades definitely play a major part in the selection process. However, your research statement and letters from your professors are also crucial and you should take these seriously. In the past, students with higher grades have been passed over because they did not meet the other selection criteria.

Must I stay in a university dormitory while participating in Globalink?

 

MITACS expects Globalink students to stay in dormitories offered by the university where they will undertake their research. If there is a special need for different arrangements, please contact us so we can consider your case.

Do I need to be a top student to apply?

 

Yes. We are currently only accepting applications from students with an 8.0/10 Grade Point Average or higher
