HP Labs India

International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIITB) is a new generation Graduate School focusing on all aspects of information technology.

IIITB and HP Labs India jointly offer a unique PhD fellowship for research in Information Technologies relevant to education such as Web 2.0. This fellowship was instituted to attract candidates of exceptional abilities for research. It offers candidates an opportunity to work to the highest academic standards.

"This fellowship has been filled"

The usual minimum qualification required is a 1st class four-year degree in a technical discipline (i.e., a 1st class B.E., B.Tech, or equivalent), but people holding 1st class Master's degrees in the mathematical sciences (e.g. an M.Sc. in mathematics, physics, statistics, or electronics) may also apply. An acceptable alternative qualification is a first class Master’s degree in Education. However, a sound academic background in science and mathematics would be essential. Ordinarily, applications from candidates holding Master's degrees in a technical discipline (i.e. an M.E., M.Tech, or equivalent) will be preferred, but candidates who possess just the minimum qualification but show great aptitude for research may be considered. Such candidates may sometimes also be advised to pursue the M.S. by Research first, prior to being accepted into the Ph.D. program.

The fellowship is offered initially for one year, and then is renewable annually, for up to 3½ years, on satisfactory performance. The candidate would receive a monthly stipend of Rs.25,000. The fellowship will also cover expenses of presenting a paper at a selected International Conference during the Fellowship period.
