1. I often say people , if you love money, dont do research. But dont think i can say it again. As the govt. has revised the fellowship. The fellowhip now stands at 12000 ( + HRA) for JRF, which may sum to ~15000., and after two years, it is enhanced to 14000 , for SRF,( with HRA it may turn out to be18000)

2. Alongwith this amt comes a additional 20000 rs that you can use for your expenses, like Photocopy, Stationaries, etc.

3. You also have the option of going abroad to attend a conference. You will be given a good amt if you qualify all the norms.

But his does not come free. After your PG you need to take up a CSIR-UGC NET examination conducted twice a year (usually in june and dec).

So Hope this will ignite few young minds
