Regarding the number of candidates they will assist this year and your chances of getting selected, it is difficult to provide specific information as it can vary from year to year and also depend on the number of applicants and the quality of their proposals. However, you can visit the official website of ICSSR for information on the number of fellowships awarded in the previous years and their eligibility criteria.

To apply for the ICSSR doctoral fellowship, you need to submit your application online through the ICSSR website during the specified application period. You will need to provide details about your PhD research, academic achievements, and other relevant information. You will also need to submit a research proposal and a detailed budget.

It is important to note that the fellowship is highly competitive, and the selection process is based on various factors such as the academic merit of the candidate, the quality of the research proposal, and the relevance of the research to social science research in India. Therefore, it is important to prepare a strong research proposal and submit a well-rounded application to increase your chances of getting selected.
