Questions students ask
Which Indian fellowships appear here?
National schemes, institute PhD calls and foundation grants, whenever the call is open and verifiable on the funder's own website. The list follows the funding season, so it grows most between September and January.
How often is this page updated?
New calls are added through the week, and every record carries the date it was last verified on the funding organisation's own website. Records whose deadlines pass are closed automatically, so anything listed here was open at its last check.
Can I get deadline reminders?
Yes. The alerts box on this page sends a reminder before a deadline you choose, plus a short weekly note of new calls in your area. It is free.
