10. CMC WORKING HOURS & IDENTIFICATION


Working hours are generally 8 a.m. to 4.30 p.m., Mondays to Fridays and 8 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturdays, though these may vary depending on your assignment. Visitors participate at CMC within a framework of approval by the Indian government. You should therefore expect guidelines which may differ from your previous experience.

If you plan to travel within India, you may wish to do so before, or after your time at CMC, or to arrange in advance for any lengthy break. You should liase with the department in which you expect to work, if you wish to take a long break. You should also inform the receptionist for your guest house about where you are going and how you may be reached in case of emergency, prior to your leaving. If you travel alone, be sure to carry some document identifying your connection with CMC, Vellore.

If you are staying for more than one week, you will be asked to provide two one inch square color photographs of yourself to the Deputy Director for International Relations for an I.D. badge and bus pass. There are studios across the street from the hospital, that will make your photographs quickly and for a reasonable cost.
