Fees and Financial Aid:

UGC NET JRF is the scholarship that I have applied for. However, this is a scholarship from the central government and not from the institute. The institute provides merit cum means scholarships to students from weaker economic backgrounds.

JNU- wave of change

Fees and Financial Aid:

In my masters, I did not apply for any scholarship. There is a provision of MCM scholarship for all those students who belong to economically backward sections. In the M.phil and Ph.D. days, the students get a meager amount of Rs. 5000 and Rs.8000 respectively for continuing research.
