Funding opportunities
The Universities are expected to generate funds for conducting Postgraduate Courses and Research Degrees.
Allowance through funded projects: Students who register while working on funded research projects are usually paid an allowance during the period of their studies. Postgraduate research studies could be funded by:
- Staff obtaining research grants from the University by applying to the Senate Research Committee, (Senate Research Grant-SRG) which administrators the University Research Fund. These grants could be used for purchase of capital and consumable items as well as payments for research scholars (or registered PG students), based on an approved budget. Senior staff could send proposals for the SRG annually when called for.
- Staff obtaining external research grants from organisations such as University Grants Commission, National Science Foundation, National Research Council and so on.
- Collaborative research projects with foreign Universities, obtaining funds through foreign funding agencies.
- Industry related research projects, where the industry provides funds to conduct research.
- In addition, a part of the tuition fees charged for research degrees may be used by the respective departments towards the research expenses.
- Students should inquire availability of such funds from the respective departments.
Waivers: Certain fee waivers for MPhil and PhD students are considered at the University and student could make a request for consideration of these after 6 months of registration. Generally, 80% fee waiver is recommended by the University to permanent academic staff members. The Faculty of Architecture would consider 50 % fee waiver to temporary academic staff attached to the Faculty, who possess a second upper or a first class in the first degree.
Specific Funds: In addition to above, from time to time, particularly for PhD research studies, funds are available such as for buying equipments, attending conferences and so on. Students should inquire availability of such funds from the PGS division.
Generate income through teaching: In addition, full-time candidates are allowed to undertake teaching duties up to 8 hours per week with the permission of Supervisors and the Head of the Department.
