The SMART Scholars Programme for Postdoctoral Research provides funding for Indian scholars who have completed their PhD and wish to pursue advanced research abroad. This international scholarship supports postdoctoral researchers in achieving their academic and research goals while fostering innovation in their fields. The programme encourages scholars to contribute meaningfully to their disciplines through cutting-edge research and collaboration.
Applicants must hold a PhD degree and be Indian citizens. The programme is open to researchers from all academic disciplines. There are no specific income or marks thresholds; selection is based on research potential and alignment with the programme’s objectives.
Applicants should demonstrate a strong record of academic and research achievements.
Interested candidates must submit an online application through the official programme page. Required documents typically include a research proposal, academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, and proof of PhD completion. Shortlisted applicants may be called for an interview or further evaluation.
The official page provides detailed instructions and a checklist of required materials.
