Services Offered
We offer consultation and guidance on different parts of your research projects. This support is more focused towards the methodology behind your research topic and its logic, and less to do with discipline specific content. Hence, the consultation can be useful for students and researchers across disciplines.
First consultation with an expert is absolutely FREE. It will allow us to assess your support needs and set up a consultation plan as you progress with your research. Further consultation can be set up on hourly or project basis, and starts at INR 500 an hour (in person/ video conference meetings). Active hands-on support with content (Data computation/analysis, proofreading/editing, etc.) cost higher than personal meeting/discussion.
Up to 3 sessions absolutely FREE for students from CHRIST (Deemed to be) University, India
