More fellowships coming, keep an eye Instituted under funding from Corporate Social Responsibility - no requirement of industrial internship and/or other commitments, and student free to choose any advisor By nomination (Prof. Yalavarthy) at the end of second semester GE Healthcare M.Tech. Fellowship (No. of Fellowships - 1) Siemens Healthineers M.Tech. Fellowship (No. of Fellowships - 1) All scholarships provide Rs. 25,000/- as fellowship for the awarded students and have contingency amount for the students to purchase a laptop For updated information please follow: http://cds.iisc.ac.in/resources/fellowships/ Once you choose a private fellowship, you cannot revert to MOE fellowship. But your fellowship amount could be downgraded if your performance is poor.

  13. First Year M.Tech. Student Lab Guidelines Student Lab keys will be available with security (lobby of the building). The security is available 24X7 and 365 days. Those who come first can get it issued and those who leave the last can return the keys to security. There are limited number of machines available in the student lab. It is advisable that you have your own machine (laptop). Your tenure at First year M.Tech. student lab is from Aug 1 - Dec 31 (4 months). Beyond which, your seating place will be in your dissertation advisor lab. The student lab will remain closed between Jan 1 to June 30. Maintain professionalism to keep the student lab neat and clean. Anybody found misusing it, will be barred from using the student lab and appropriate action will be taken by the DCC and Chair.
