Cadre Breakdown & Reservation Dynamics
DCP Fellowship mein UR, OBC, EWS, SC aur ST category-wise vacancy matrix applicable nahi hai, kyunki yeh conventional recruitment ya category-based student scholarship nahi hai. Selection professional expertise, experience, research-and-development engagement aur societal contribution jaise criteria par based nomination process ke through hota hai.
AICTE document ke अनुसार awardee highly qualified superannuated professional hona chahiye. Candidate apne specialisation mein acknowledged leader ya expert ho, R&D mein actively engaged raha ho aur excellent fieldwork ke through society ke development mein contribution kiya ho.
⚠️ Critical Mandatory Warning: DCP Fellowship ko regular online student scholarship samajhkar individual application submit karna sahi process nahi hai. Official scheme document ke अनुसार proposals nomination only basis par consider kiye jaate hain.
Current published scheme document mein category-wise seats, reservation roster ya fixed annual beneficiary number specified nahi hai. Isliye unsupported vacancy figures publish nahi kiye gaye hain.
Technical Eligibility & Academic Scrutiny
DCP ka target profile experienced retired professional hai, na ki fresh graduate ya regular student. AICTE scheme document mein professional qualification ke saath field expertise, recognised leadership, research and development involvement aur societal contribution ko core eligibility elements ke roop mein specify kiya gaya hai.
Age condition conventional recruitment cut-off ki tarah nahi di gayi. Fellowship 3 years ya age 75 years, whichever is earlier ke liye tenable hai, aur fitness ke subject par 80 years tak extension possible hai. Is provision ko nomination ke time candidate ki age aur proposed engagement duration ke saath evaluate karna zaroori hai.
Scheme ka operational model bhi alag hai. Candidate normal scholarship portal par form fill karke award claim nahi karta; proposal nomination ke through forward hota hai. AICTE document ke अनुसार nominations all necessary details ke saath throughout the year prescribed Faculty Development Cell address par bheji ja sakti hain.
Approval ke baad Distinguished Chair Professor aur selected host institution ko competent authority ki approval ke baad intimate kiya jata hai. Chair Professor ko institute aur contact-person details provide ki jaati hain aur mutually convenient dates par visit/interaction expected hota hai.
Physical interaction ke liye honorarium ₹10,000 per full day hai aur ek trip mein maximum 5 days ka provision hai. Actual travel expenses bhi scheme document ke अनुसार admissible hain. Online mode mein ek institution ko ek assigned DCP ke saath maximum five sessions/talks conduct karne ki permission hai; each session minimum two hours ka hai, followed by one-hour interaction.
