students belonging to six notified minority communities i.e. Sikh, Buddhist,

M. Phil and Ph.D courses. 1251 fellowships were awarded under the Scheme during
the academic year 2019-20 and 607 fellowships have so far been awarded during
the academic year 2020-21 (provisional data; the NTA examination for December,
2020 is yet to be conducted). The MANF scheme, inter-alia, stipulates that in
case sufficient candidates, who have already secured admission are not
available, candidates who have not yet secured admission will also be selected
in the order of merit in the NET examination, conducted for the year, and the
validity period of the offer is three years w.e.f. the date of issue of the JRF
Award letter under the scheme. The State/UT-wise details of fellowships
