AKUNTALA Fellowship is a unique scheme of the institute approved by the Senate of IITRoorkee. The SAKUNTALA Fellowship is an initiative to facilitate higher education for female engineering students at the institute. Under this programme, girl students will have an opportunity to nurture their talent in their chosen field and do research work on the campus. Through this fellowship programme, girl students of the centrally funded technical institutes(CFTIs) who are now pursuing engineering courses, or have graduated already, will be able to apply for admission into the IIT Roorkee PhD programs starting with the first admission cycle of the year 2022 (Autumn Semester).
The students admitted under this fellowship will be provided with the same fellowship amount and all other similar facilities which are provided under the regular Institute Assistantship scheme.
Under this scheme, any female candidate holding a B.Tech./B.E./B.Arch./B.Des. or Degree from CFTIs with a minimum CGPA (Cumulative Grade Point Average) score of 8.5 on the lO-point scale will be eligible for direct admission into a Ph.D. programme. A major relaxation for the aspirants of higher education under the SAKUNTALA scheme is that the candidates do not need a GATE/CEED/National Level examination score for applying to the Ph.D. programmes of the Institute. The admission will be carried out through interviews in the corresponding departments or other academic units. The Institute has also allowed admission of eligible candidates without any restriction in the number of seats.
