We have tried to provide the details of various scholarships available in India. These fellowships in India and abroad may be offered at various levels of study like graduate level, postgraduate level, doctorate level or post doctorate level in various streams of study.
Higher education and specially research in various fields plays very important role in generating new knowledge. But it is observed that the rate of enrolment at the postgraduate level or research is very low in developing countries like India as compared to many other developed countries. While in developed countries more than 54% of people go for higher studies, in India the rate is meager 10%.
Most of these doctoral fellowships, postdoctoral fellowships and other scholarships in India are meant for the needy and meritorious students so that financial constrains do not become a reason for discontinuing education.
But some of these scholarships are meant to encourage students to pursue research and some fellowships are meant to promote cultural interaction among students from different countries.
These fellowships in India may be provided by both the government and the private organizations. While most of the scholarships in India are meant for Indian students, some institutes also offer fellowships to foreign scholars. |
