There are major concerns that the policy makers should look into
I don’t understand why the postdoc scholarships are based on this that the students cannot apply for them under their PhD guides
I mean why will a student who has been working for 5 years in research and built a prospective thing from scratch want to leave and start something else. How can sm1 even concentrate? Yes working at other places is also important to increase your experience level. But in case of research it is absurd to go for 3 years or 2 years for post doc to sm other lab. Y are fellowships not allowed under the same guide so we can continue with the work v started from scratch.
Specially in this pandemic are students from Kolkata expected to go to Delhi because v can’t apply under the same guide????
What is SERB STAR? There are PhD research scholars all over India who are competent but do not have scope..they dont find anything to do after completing PhD.And this award is for PI for successful completion of SERB projects. The PI is a PI, they have got a permanent job, they have already completed projects. There should be more fellowships and awards to support the students who want to pursue Postdoc and infact some positions should be reserved for women. SERB NPDF should be allowed to be conducted under the same guide. It is a fellowship of just 2years. No good research can be started and completed in 2 years in India until v are already working on it from before.
