Scholarship Exam Details

The Google PhD Fellowship Program is one of the most prestigious global awards for doctoral students. It aims to recognize outstanding graduate students doing exceptional and innovative research in areas relevant to computer science and related fields. In 2026, the fellowship for Indian students provides a significant grant—often up to $50,000 (approx. ₹42 Lakhs) over two years—to cover tuition, fees, and a living stipend. Beyond financial support, scholars are paired with a Google Research Mentor and get opportunities to interact with some of the world's best engineers. The fellowship targets high-demand areas like Machine Learning, Quantum Computing, Natural Language Processing, and Systems Networking. Crucially, students cannot apply directly; they must be nominated by their university.
