The institute conducts around 30-35 regular training programmes / short term courses including the custom-made programs every year, encompassing all the major areas in Food Science and Technology under CSIR Integrated Skill Initiative. These courses are of short duration, but intensive and packed with lectures and demonstrations. These courses are handled by faculty members having vast experience in specific areas of Food Science and Technology. The demonstrations and practical classes are conducted in the state-of-the-art laboratories and pilot plants of CSIR-CFTRI. Successful trainees will be given participation certificate at the end of the course.
Due to its short duration and condensed, focussed and capsulated syllabus, the short-term courses are well received by students, academicians, employed and entrepreneurs who are unable to spare more time.
Applicants should possess a basic academic background relevant to the subject area of the selected training program. A foundational degree in a related discipline is preferred to ensure effective understanding of the course content.
