Renewal Of Scholarship
Based on obtaining minimum prescribed marks in the subsequent years after getting the scholarship, the scheme would be extended to subsequent years up to the Pre-PhD level, or 5 years whichever is earlier. However, the fellowship would be discontinued in the absence of getting a minimum prescribed score in subsequent years. From2012 onwards, there are a change in policy as:
“ for the candidate passes all the subjects and gets s more than 60% ((50% for SC/ST/PWD) marks in the subsequent years, the scholarship/fellowship will be renewed only from that particular year This is again conditional that he or she obtaining 60% (50% for SC/ST/PWD) marks in aggregate every subsequent year/ years”
