Research Fellowships (JRF) in Other Subjects:

Junior Research Fellowships are also available from the Institute in a number of social science and natural science fields. Candidates pursuing a Ph.D. in any field other than the five listed in above table must register with different universities or institutes in order to pursue their degree. A Junior Research Fellow is the initial status of admission for a student. Junior Research Fellows are evaluated for Senior Research Fellowships after two years of satisfactory progress, which includes finishing required course work. 

Fellowship duration:

The Junior and Senior Research Fellowships have a combined duration of 6+1 year.

Important Notes:

When a candidate is accepted as a Junior Research Fellow and applies to register for a Ph.D. programme in the relevant field, they typically have to successfully finish the mandatory coursework, which entails taking at least five courses from the discipline’s course list. Under the supervision of a supervisor chosen by the Institute, he or she is expected to conduct original research in one of the aforementioned fields, culminating in a doctoral thesis that must be submitted in order to be awarded the Institute’s Ph.D. Those who demonstrate adequate progress towards the aforementioned objective may apply for ISI’s Ph.D. programme.
