Who should apply

You must be pursuing or about to commence a PhD in AI, ML, NLP, computer vision, robotics, or a closely related domain at any recognised Indian university or institute. This fellowship welcomes freshers entering doctoral programs — no prior industry experience required. Your institution will nominate you through their selection process, combined with an interview round.
