    Cracking the exam will be the first step to getting admission to the Ph.D/ Research Programme through the council’s support. There are currently seven centres where the ICMR JRF fellowship tests are conducted once a year. These seven centres are- Chandigarh, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Guwahati .

    A total of 150 Fellowships are awarded in this exam. However, the 120 Fellowships would be awarded and allowed to work in the field of biomedical sciences with emphasis on Life Sciences (such as zoology, human biology, physiology, molecular biology, Pharmacology, microbiology, genetics, biotechnology, biochemistry, bioinformatics, biophysics, immunology, botany, veterinary sciences, bioinformatics Environment Science, etc).

    The existing value of the ICMR fellowship is at present Rs. 31000/- (Rupees Twenty Five thousand only) per month and an annual contingency grant up to Rs. 20,000/- per annum.

    The candidates who will be selected for the JRF ICMR programme will get the chance to enlist themselves for the Ph.D. programme of any UGC/MCI registered University. One thing you must understand is that the JRF programme has no connection with the Ph.D. programme, this is the key for the candidates to qualify to receive the award of the ICMR JRF fellowship.

Similarly, for the OBC category, there is an age limit relaxation of up to 3 years.
