This page explains how jsrr.in compiles an entry, where its figures come from, how last dates are kept current and what we do when something is wrong. It applies to every scholarship, fellowship, program and notice in the index.
Sources
An entry starts from the provider’s own record: the call for applications, the scheme guidelines, the office memorandum that sets a fellowship’s rates, or the listing on an official portal such as the National Scholarship Portal or myScheme. Agency and ministry websites (UGC, CSIR, DST, ICMR, ICAR, AICTE and others), university notices and Press Information Bureau releases are used for the awards they announce. Other websites, coaching portals and social media posts are never used as sources. Each entry names the provider’s portal and documents, and they remain the final word.
How an entry is written
Every entry follows the same order: a brief with the award value, tenure, last date, eligibility and provider; then eligibility in detail, the award value, documents, selection, application steps, renewal where it applies, common errors and questions. Most entries are drafted with AI tools from the official record, and the draft is checked automatically before it is published:
- every amount, date and percentage in the draft must appear in the official text;
- an amount keeps the period the source gives it: a month, a year or once;
- anything the record does not state, such as a last date, an income limit or a processing time, is left out rather than estimated;
- worked examples use only the conditions and figures in the source, and never a real person.
AI is used to explain the official text in plain language, never as a source of facts. Entries drafted this way say so at the bottom of the page.
Human review
An entry that a member of our editorial team has checked line by line against the source shows the date it was checked with the reviewer’s name. An entry without that line has not yet been reviewed by a person, so read the official call before you apply. Review starts with the entries readers use most and those with the nearest last dates.
How last dates are tracked
The last date in an entry is the one in the official call. Calls are rechecked as their last dates approach, and extensions, corrigenda and new cycles are followed on the providers’ portals and in official releases. When a provider moves a date, the entry is changed, the change is recorded in its revision log, and the deadline calendar follows automatically. When a last date passes, the entry is marked closed and stays in the index until the next call is announced; a future date is never guessed from earlier years. A date in the calendar is only as current as the provider’s latest notice, which is why each entry links to it.
Calculators
Each tool lists the notifications its figures come from and the date they were checked. A rule we cannot find in an official source is left out of the tool.
Notices
Notices report new calls, extended dates, selection lists and revised rates. Each is written from an official announcement and filed against the entry it concerns.
Corrections and independence
Reported errors are checked against the source and corrected, as the corrections policy describes. jsrr.in is independent of every provider and accepts no payment for listing, ranking or describing an award. Advertising on the site has no influence on its content.
