  • MY DOB IS 08/06/1982 AND PHD DEGREE HAS BEEN SUBMITTED ALREADY IN THE ZOOLOGY SUBJECT. AM I ELIGIBLE FOR THIS SCHEME?

    • I do not think so you will be eligible for this scheme. Since the candidates having PhD degree in subjects (in science, mathematics, engineering, pharmacy, medicine, and agriculture related subjects) are eligible to apply.
