What is the Eligibility and Age Limit for Ramanujan Fellowship 2025 Application?

Namaste Fellows, I’m interested in applying for the Ramanujan Fellowship 2025, but I have some questions about the eligibility criteria and age limit. From what I’ve gathered, this fellowship is designed to support young scientists and researchers in conducting independent research in India. However, I’m unclear if there’s a specific age limit or if it varies by field of study. Additionally, are there any nationality restrictions or considerations regarding current employment status, such as if someone is working overseas?

Regarding eligibility, does the fellowship have requirements for a certain number of publications, years of post-PhD experience, or specific qualifications? Are there preferences for applicants from certain scientific fields like mathematics, physics, or engineering? If anyone has experience with this application process or knows the details, could you please clarify the requirements and whether there’s any flexibility in the age or eligibility criteria?

It would also be helpful to know where I can find the official guidelines or the portal for submitting the application. Let’s discuss this so we can all gain a better understanding!
