IIT Kanpur announced the launch of the Fellowship for Academic and Research Excellence (FARE).
This is a new initiative to recognize and support exceptional PhD students who demonstrate outstanding academic and research capabilities, say sources from IIT Kanpur.
This fellowship aims to encourage timely completion of doctoral studies while promoting high-quality research output, say sources from IIT Kanpur.
The application process is now open to full-time PhD students currently enrolled at IIT Kanpur who submit their thesis within five years of enrolment in the PhD program.
Students who submit their thesis within five years and six months are also eligible, although the fellowship duration will be adjusted accordingly, say sources from IIT Kanpur.
Eligibility criteria include at least one accepted or published research paper as the first author in a reputed journal or conference proceedings, directly stemming from their PhD research.
The fellowship is applicable to students from the Y18 batch onward.
The fellowship offers financial support for up to 12 months, with a stipend equivalent to that of the Institute’s Post-Doctoral Fellows, along with additional research-related grants.
The current Thesis Supervisor will continue to serve as the Mentor, although collaborations with other faculty members during the fellowship period are strongly encouraged.
The FARE Fellowship is a significant step by IIT Kanpur to support its students in achieving their academic and research goals, offering both recognition and tangible support to those who excel academically and contribute meaningfully to their fields of study.
IIT Kanpur invites eligible PhD students to apply and advance their research careers through this opportunity.
