CALL FOR FELLOWSHIPS

    VDAT 2024 invites students and faculty members working in the scope of VDAT for applying for the fellowship programme. Over the decades, VDAT has been offering generous fellowships to students and teachers of various Indian academic institutions. This trend would continue for VDAT 2024 as well. The fellowship provides partial waiver of registration fee to attend the conference.

    Fellowships are made available to Indian students and faculty working in the areas of VLSI and related fields. The Fellow needs to attend the conference on all 3 days. A fellowship should not be viewed as an honour or recognition, but as an enabler to attend VDAT for students/faculty who do not get adequate support.

    Fellowship entitles you to a lower Registration of Rs.2,000/- per candidate instead of full delegate fee. No other support will be available. The students/Faculty who apply for fellowship must be full time students/regular faculty at the time of the symposium. Identity card will be asked at the registration desk. Fellowships are open to all irrespective of them presenting a paper in VDAT or not. Acceptance of paper is not the eligibility for getting fellowship. However, if your paper is accepted, then the presenter/one author has to register by paying the full amount whereas rest of the author(s) may apply for fellowship.
