The scheme of the Prime Minister’s Research Fellowship (PMRF); consists of a batch of 14 researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati (IIT-G). All 14 doctoral students have been chosen via the lateral entry channel in interdisciplinary programs.

“This government initiative in India would appeal to the country’s best talent for high-end IIT-G science. That will also realize the Prime Minister’s vision for growth and self-support through the innovation of high-end multidisciplinary technology. We are prepared to help the selected PMRF recipients reach their full potential, and guide them; in achieving their long-term career goals and helping the country develop, “said Prof. TG Sitharam, IIT-G Director.

Every boy is entitled to a monthly RS 70,000 fellowship in the first two years, RS75,000 in the third year; and Rs80,000 in the fourth and fifth years according to the PMRF scheme.

In the 2018-2019 budget the PMRF framework was announced and is designed to enhance the research quality; and to provide unique opportunities for research at different educational institutions across the world.
