IIT Kharagpur from the perspective of a PhD student.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The institute scholars receive an MHRD fellowship of Rs. 31,000/- for Junior Research Fellow and later Rs. 35,000/- for the Senior Research Fellow. Generally, the students pay their six-monthly fees from this scholarship itself and still can save. Other than that students may get additional Rs. 15000/-, after their 5th year as Teaching Assistantship. For the jobs in Ph.D., the student may opt for a campus placement or can go for an off-campus drive as well, depending upon their choices and skills.

IIT Kharagpur is the best !

Fees and Financial Aid:

All the students who are studying MTech. or PhD or MS are getting stipend.The amount is fixed by the Government of India and there is no deduction.Since, the B.Tech. students don't have stipend, some depend on the study loan. The State Bank of India is having a branch in our Institute Campus,which offers study loans to all the students.
