New Delhi, October 22, 2026: Students interested in artificial intelligence research should review the IndiaAI Fellowship 2026–27 application details and confirm their eligibility well before the reported deadline of November 30, 2026. The initiative is intended to strengthen AI skills and research capacity by supporting eligible students working on technology-related projects.
What financial support is being reported?
The announced figures reported for the current application cycle include support of up to ₹1 lakh for eligible undergraduate students and up to ₹2 lakh for eligible postgraduate students. The amount available to an applicant can depend on the programme’s rules, academic level and other eligibility conditions. Students should verify the current official notification before treating these amounts as guaranteed awards.
Who should consider applying?
Students pursuing eligible programmes and research projects in artificial intelligence may wish to explore the opportunity. AI research spans a broad range of areas, including language technology, computer vision, healthcare, agriculture, education, finance, manufacturing, accessibility and public services. Applicants should read the programme guidelines carefully to determine whether their institution, course, semester and proposed work qualify.
Documents and application preparation
Applicants should review the official application instructions, prepare academic records and any required project or research details, and ensure that all information is accurate. If recommendations, institutional approvals or supporting documents are required, students should allow sufficient time to obtain them. Submitting an application close to the deadline can leave little room to correct missing information or technical problems.
How to avoid application scams
Students should apply only through the official IndiaAI platform and verify all deadlines, eligibility criteria and required documents from the published notice. Be cautious of unofficial agents or websites that promise selection in exchange for payment or ask for sensitive personal information without a clear, legitimate reason. A fellowship application does not guarantee selection.
AI skills are increasingly valuable across industries, but students should also develop sound fundamentals in mathematics, programming, data analysis, critical thinking and responsible technology use. A well-defined project and a clear understanding of its real-world value can help applicants make the most of research opportunities.
Important: Confirm the current application window and all scheme conditions on the official IndiaAI website before submitting an application.
