How to prepare for this application
- Pick your branch first. Each programme sets its own eligibility and entrance requirement, and the portal asks you to choose before it shows you the rest.
- Read two or three recent papers from the group you want to join, and name them in your statement. A PhD application that names nobody reads as untargeted.
- Check whether the fellowship terms apply to you. The figures here are for full-time scholars.
- Have your degree certificates, transcripts and any entrance test scorecard scanned before you open the form.
- Write to a potential supervisor before the deadline. A short, specific email about their work is worth more than a long one about you.
