I’m seeking clarification on the process of choosing between CSIR NET JRF (Council of Scientific and Industrial Research National Eligibility Test Junior Research Fellowship) and GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) for pursuing a Ph.D. After qualifying for both fellowships, who has the authority to decide which one to pursue—the Ph.D. candidate or the academic institution offering the Ph.D. program? Understanding the decision-making dynamics is crucial for candidates to navigate the selection process effectively. Clear guidance on the roles and responsibilities of both the candidate and the academic authority ensures that individuals can make informed decisions aligned with their research interests and career goals.
