Government has revised the rates of Ph.D. Scholarship in AICTE funded and centrally funded technical institutions under the Ministry of Human Resource Development. All the students pursuing Ph.D. Programmes Junior Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow are entitled to receive the revised amount of fellowships.
Scholars with graduate Degree in Professional Courses (BE/ B. Tech or equivalent) and GATE or equivalent qualification 1st & 2nd year will receive Rs. 16, 000 per month as stipend. Those with Post Graduate Degree in Basic Sciences (MSc or equivalent) and NET qualified will now get Rs. 18, 000 per month till 5th year. Earlier, it was 14,000 for third and fourth year. While for fifth year it was 15,000. While, students who hold M.E. / M. Tech degree or equivalent will get Rs. 18, 000 instead of Rs. 14, 000 for the first and second year. While the third and fourth year candidates will get Rs. 20, 000 in place of the 15, 000. The revised fellowship is also applicable to government aided Institutions funded by AICTE & UGC.
However, no salary grant or any other salary grant would be given to any of the institutes implementing this scheme. The fellowship will not be granted to sponsored and self- financed category of students including those in receipt of any other similar assistantships/ scholarship/ fellowship. The fellowship applies to scholars on the basis of GATE scores above the prescribed cut-off level. B.Tech graduates from the IITs getting a CGPA score of 8 or above (on scale of 10) would also be entitled to the assistantship without having to appear in GATE.
The local institution should review the performance of the fellow after two years through an appropriate review Committee constituted by the Head of the Institution. The fellowship in the slab after 2 years of research experience may be provided after successful assessment by this review Committee.

Non-Net fellowship for full time Ph.D. students must meet in proper time it will help them for completing their research work without of any mental pressure about expenditures and high rate of fees in universities.
04 Jun 2011
Decision by Govt. for enhancement of the fellowship is welcoming, but there are so many Ph.D scholars doing their research with out any financial assistance. There will be a disparity among the scholars for basic needs. Another important matter is employment, there are no immediate jobs for Ph.D holders in our country. Not only enhancement of fellowship, Govt. should take the active role to get the proper employment after Ph.D

It is good to give selected talented and motivated students a handsome amount as scholarship for conducting research. This will help attract students of high intellectual caliber towards research as a career. However, giving a small amount to large number of students for pursuing Ph.D. will not give desired results. UGC's scheme of providing for Rs. 5000 for all admitted Ph.D. students in all Central Universities does not appear to be a well thought out scheme. It will result in a heavy wastage of public funds and lead to "inflation of degrees but no research".

This a very good move by our Government to encourage students to pursue research. We hope that good students will get induced to academic jobs. This will to certain extent may attract better candidates for research positions. However, many a times we may not get deserving candidates to undertake PhD research and many teachers because of the requirements of producing doctorate for his own promotion may happen to work for the research scholars to award them a degree!
We also need new policy and system to get people with industrial experience to carry out research while working in the industry and a system to avail participation of such persons in academic activities. This is existing even now, however, only by individual efforts. Good individual efforts if found to yield long term benefits and serve the Nation, should be institutionalized through appropriate directives and move by the proper authorities. Good institutions should also have a system of evaluating self guided research thesis of established experts working in the industry or research institutions for the award of PhD.

This is good announcement to attract talented folk in higher studies. It would be great if link to official announcement can be provided in such anouncements.

Enhancement in Ph. Scholarship is realy a welcome able step. This decision will attract the younger and dynamic students towards research and development for our nation.

The policy is good for attarcting meretorious students. Is it not sometimes students get the benifits of felloship and later on left the Ph.D after end of 4th year? How to control it? They may left for even after the end of 2nd year

Its nice to see that the Government has started taking pains for the salary-hike of college or university teachers. If the system in India expects good and great minds to come into the fields of Teaching or Research, they should be first guaranteed that they will be well paid. Bhookhe pet bhajan na hoe !!

The peacemeal progress in appointing the permanent faculty in various Educational Institutions of India is a very obvious reflection of Govt.'s apathy towards education and educationists !!God save this nation where the a educated person is holding the highest governing post, but ineligible to perform good to the nation, especially in the field of Education. Hope things improve soon !!

In view of the news dated:14th December 2010 bearing the head lines"Govt Revises PhD Scholarship rates" with the line "Those with Post Graduate Degree in Basic Sciences (MSc or equivalent) and NET qualified will now get Rs. 18, 000 per month till 5th year", I would like to say that this is absolutely a nice step by the Govt. to encourage the research activity within the country. But the confusion is whether the Govt. will provide an amount of Rs 18000 to the scholars having NET only in basis sciences or in all the disciplines!
09 Feb 2011
It is a great news for research scholars who have been struggling to make ends meet during their Ph.D. program. Many of them had to make a choice between high-paying corporate jobs and doing Ph.D. Hopefully the increase in scholarship will attract meritorious students to do Ph.D.
27 Jan 2011
Good news for research scholar.
In that circular it is the announcement for BE and ME candidates. Nnothing was mentioned abou those who have Post Graduate Degree in Basic Sciences (MSc or equivalent)with valid GATE score without NET qualified. Are they eligible for Ph.D.? If yes, what will be the fellowship?

The hike in scholarship is wise decision. But how many scholars are dedicated themselves in research in engineering and How many faculty members have published reputed articles in journals from engineering colleges and institutions. Engineering colleges and institutions knew how to hike fee and not standards of students. It is unfortunate to say that tequip programme is misused by engineering colleges. By purchasing high cost instruments and not publishing at least 10 papers in five years by reputed engineering colleges is meaningless. But we have them in the side of Engineering institutions.

HRD Ministry now asking for Director's post for NITs, when the process will be complete? Till then who will take care of the routine duties like internal promotions etc, is there any guidelines by the HRD ministry

Changes in pay scale of Ph.D scholars is a good decision. By this decision research activities in India should be increased. But Indian education system needs a fruitful result from the research of our universities. Monitory expenditure on research should not become waste.
07 Jan 2011
i am happy to gothrough the changes in the pay scales for 10% of professor in univ/colleges will be moved to 67000/- n no GP what about the principal's scale in engg colleges he is rwaing less pay than that of polytechinc principals e.g the qualifications for ploy rpin today it m.tech otherwise in 5th pay it was only b.tech whereas in case of engg colleges it is 15 years exp n ph.d is compulsary, see the differnce in qualifications n exp still also he is drawing the same as that of poly. anoother e.g is poly rpn. who is bn.tech n now completed m.tech in service he will be getting two increments n who willbe many times the student of engg college princ. both were batchements but here in case of degree college he has jined after completing his ph.d spending 6 years more than that poly n gaining more knowlodge n losing the moetray benefits also spent his father's money during his studies n now his father asks him how come u r drawing less than your students.
secondly agian he registers for his ph.d degree under the princ. n gets his degree after 4-5 years and hie will be getting nother four increments will eb added in his pay but whereas the guide is getting nil in all the cases this is fun of ugc/aicte/the mhrd how they r treating the head of insttn. it is very shameful to say in the society the act made by the so called leaned persons and also the commission of pay fixation. third e.g is that of schorships to pg/ph.d students in m.e/m.tech/prof courses is higher than that of convetional courses reason is same but the salary of the head of instt. is less than that of the princ. of convetional courses see this fun made by the ugc/aicte/mhrd.
noe hopethat they will look into the amse n rectify immediately n issue the order/n directions to allthe secretaries of the state govt. in this regard.

When BSNL had monopoly, did it ever think of reducing the call rate? Now after just 10 years of private sector involvement, the call rate is 60 paise/minute – that too on a mobile phone.
The same revolution will happen in the higher education field – in quality and quantity – now the sector is thrown open to the corporates. But, there must be independent regulation and quality control.

I happy to enhance the fellowships, but what is the accountability of the public money. Goverment is doing well, but the progress of the research scholars should be monitored then only Universities/Institutions will fluorish.
16 Dec 2010
Please let me know the process to avail PH.D scholarship. I got the phD approval letter this year by Nagpur University which is wef 2008 due to some technical reasons. I am not getting proper guidance for scholarship. Thanking you.........

The students of basic sciences faculties who qualify GATE may be exempted from the NET provided they opt for lecturer ship in AICTE recognized colleges.
16 Dec 2010
Some of the institutions are not considering the MBA programe equivalent to M.Tech or professional degree,consiquent upon they are not enhancing their scholarshipas per the norms of MHRD,therefore you are requested to kindly clarify .
16 Dec 2010
The best mechanism to attract talent into research. When the best is getting placed through campus selections these days, what kind of talent are we attracting towards reserach programs. There should be a mechanism to assess the performance of the candidates making publications mandatory and a culture to be set on campuses to feel accountability for the public money.

Please raise the Scholarship amount of JRF and SRF in UGC funded institutions also,after all immaterial of the stream research scholars are contributing equally to the country's development.
16 Dec 2010
Thanks to the Govt for hiking the rates of the scholarships for in AICTE funded agencies. I request same to be followed and exrtended to the UGC funded institutes and agencies
Good news for research scholar!!
In that circular, nothing has been mentioned for those with Post Graduate Degree in Basic Sciences (MSc or equivalent)with valid GATE score but non NET qualified.
Are they eligible for Ph.D.? If yes, what will be the fellowship?

It is indeed a very positive step by Hon'ble Minister
of HRD towards promoting higher research. Thanks to Shri Kapil Sibbal !
Will somebody convey to MHRD that, it is just not sufficient ! There has to be a corresponding raise in the contingency grant to research scholars ( in hand )and real improvement in the facilities/ infrastructure at their place of work / labs etc.
Fellowship for M.Tech. should also be enhanced to
Rs. 12000 , to prepare the input for Ph.D. entry !
15 Dec 2010
I am really glad to know the hike in fellowship / scholarship amount given to the research scholars. However, I only wish such amounts are given in time. I remember the trouble I had in receiving the amounts during my Ph.D. days. There is no point issuing the sanction order without actually sending the money and thereby making the scholar to wait for months / years together. This is definitely a wonderful decision.
15 Dec 2010
very good decision.What about stste universities and other UGC funded institutions? UGC must increase the amount of JRFs/project assistants in the research projects as the basic qualification for JRFs is postgraduate degree.

Great news for students in AICTE or centrally funded institutions. The same NET qualified students in state or UGC funded institutions should not be ignored.
15 Dec 2010
A welcome decision. It would be nice if the Government sanctions one or two fellowships to each eligible professor. The student after qualifying the central test approaches the professor for research admission. If admitted, his admission particulars are intimated to the Government for the release of the fellowship directly to the student.
15 Dec 2010
Very glad to see the news.
It will attract (not inspire or encourage)the students towards research. But how best students/ Guides are contributing to the quality of research in India.
15 Dec 2010
My request is that the scholarship may be enhanced for students under Ph D programme irrespective of AICTE or centrally funded institution to attract more number of students in other universities/institutions.
