Students undertaking doctoral research at the prominent BIT Mesra institution located in Ranchi will now receive a financial assistance of 25,000 rupees every month. This monetary support is specially designed for those scholars who could not clear the Junior Research Fellowship examination, ensuring they get adequate financial backing to continue their advanced studies without monetary distress.
Research Opportunities Across Specialized Departments
Scholars at BIT Mesra have the option to pursue their doctoral degrees in subjects like sociology and psychology under the department of humanities. Additionally, academic opportunities are available in advanced fields such as remote sensing and space technology. Institute spokesperson Mukul stated that the campus houses the country's first space technology department, where research work related to the Chandrayaan-2 mission was also conducted.
Admission Process and Fellowship Guidelines
