I’ve heard that IITM does not provide a Contingency Grant to its PhD scholars. Is that correct?
If yes, why? Most IITs have a contingency fund for research scholars in PhD, Mtech and Ms by Research. Is there any MHRD law which can make this clear?
IIT Madras generally does not provide a fixed annual contingency grant for regular PhD scholars but offers contingency support through project funding or special fellowship schemes.
No specific MHRD rule mandates or prohibits such grants; it depends on the institute’s own policies and funding sources.
If you require contingency support information or assistance, it is best to contact the IIT Madras research office or your supervisor for details on available options or project-based contingency funds.
