The scholarship is initially granted for a term of four years, but needs to be renewed every year, the renewal being subject to satisfactory progress as judged by NBHM. It may be extendable by one more year, solely at NBHM’s discretion.
It consists of a monthly stipend and a yearly contingency grant, the rates of which are revised from time to time. The current rates are as follows: monthly stipend Rs. 31,000/- for the first two years, to be increased to Rs. 35,000/- for the subsequent years, based upon the recommendation of the committee appointed by the scholar’s institution to monitor the scholar’s progress; yearly contingency grant Rs. 40,000/-. In addition, house rent allowance (HRA) is payable as per central government norms.
A precondition for tenability of the scholarship is that throughout its term the candidate must be enrolled in a recognised full-time PhD programme in Mathematics or Applied Mathematics in India. This means that the candidate must get enrolled in such a programme by January 2023 (if not already enrolled) and such enrolment must continue for the entire duration of the scholarship. If the enrolment should cease for any reason, the scholarship will also cease at the same time. The scholarship will be administered only through the scholar’s institution.
