About HSCST Fellowship Programme

The Haryana State Council for Science, Innovation and Technology (HSCSIT) grants the HSCST Fellowship to talented young men and women so they can learn research methods under expert faculty members/scientists in University Departments, National Laboratories and Institutes in Haryana. Fields include Science & Technology and Medical Sciences such as Life Sciences, Physical Sciences, Chemical Sciences and Mathematical Sciences. Fellows can hold the award at Universities/Post-Graduate Colleges, Government Research Establishments, R&D establishments of recognised public or private sector bodies, Industrial firms and other recognised institutions in Haryana. The programme is meant to develop human resources for S&T. The fellowship lasts for a fixed tenure only; it carries no promise or guarantee of later employment by HSCSIT, and awardees cannot seek permanent absorption in HSCSIT once the fellowship ends. Those who have cleared JRF-NET (CSIR/UGC) & LS-NET in the joint CSIR-UGC Test for Junior Research Fellowship (JRF) and eligibility for lectureship (NET) will be chosen to do their Ph. D. at any University/Institute in Haryana.
