No Scholarship for non-NET Scholar
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has decided to do away with the non-National Eligibility Test (NET) fellowship, which is provided to students undertaking research in central universities across India.
The scheme is in place for providing financial assistance to students undertaking MPhil and PhD — they are provided ` 5,000 and ` 8,000 per month respectively. PhD students get assistance for four years and MPhil students for 18 months. They also get a contingency amount per year to help them carry out their research.
Confirming the move, UGC chairman Ved Prakash said a decision was taken in the last meeting of the commission.
“We were getting a lot of complaints about the fellowship, so we have decided to do away with it. However, NET fellowship will be in place, so anyone who clears the test will get financial assistance,” he said.
