Dr. TMA Pai Scholarship

Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) is inviting applications for full-time PhD programs with scholarships across its campuses in Manipal, Mangaluru, Bengaluru, and Jamshedpur. The opportunity is aimed at candidates who have qualified UGC-NET, GATE, GPAT, CSIR-NET, JGEEBILS, or other national PhD eligibility tests.

MAHE highlights interdisciplinary research, renowned supervisors, global collaborations, state-of-the-art facilities, and financial support for conferences. The university’s research ecosystem spans the Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of Science, Technology & Management, and Faculty of Humanities, Liberal Arts & Social Sciences, making this a broad PhD call for students interested in health, science, technology, management, and related fields.

The post links to the MAHE PhD portal and researcher directory, where applicants can explore research areas and potential guides. The portal also lists multiple PhD categories, including full-time national scholars, Dr. T.M.A. Pai scholars, self-financed candidates, project fellows, part-time working professionals, research centre candidates, and international candidates.

Eligibility information on the PhD page indicates that applicants must have a qualifying degree in full-time mode and meet the relevant academic criteria, such as a master’s degree or equivalent, or in some cases a 4-year bachelor’s degree, with required aggregate marks/grades. Foreign qualifications require recognized equivalency. Application windows are organized in four sessions each year: January, April, July, and October, with scheme-specific deadlines listed on the MAHE PhD page.

This is a strong option for students seeking a funded doctoral pathway at a major Indian research university with interdisciplinary supervision and international collaboration opportunities.
