While for fifth year it was 15,000. While, students who hold M.E. / M. Tech degree or equivalent will get Rs. 18, 000 instead of Rs. 14, 000 for the first and second year. While the third and fourth year candidates will get Rs. 20, 000  in place of the 15, 000. The revised fellowship is also applicable to government aided Institutions funded by AICTE & UGC.
