Questions students ask
What is a Project-JRF post?
A paid research position on a funded project, usually open to MSc holders, with a monthly stipend set by the funding agency. It is a job with research training rather than a degree scholarship, and many JRF holders later register for a PhD with the same group.
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.
