Scholarship Exam Details

The Intel India Research Fellowship Program (part of Intel’s LEAD initiative) is a highly competitive grant for PhD, MTech, and post-doctoral researchers in India, designed to support high-impact research aligned with Intel’s strategic research areas. The fellowship brings together academia and industry, enabling researchers to work on cutting-edge problems in artificial intelligence, system architecture, cloud computing, green AI, security, Internet of Things (IoT), and more.

Selected fellows receive a one-year grant (with possible extension) to support their research. The financial support includes a generous stipend, travel grants (both international for conferences and domestic), funds for contingency / research costs, and a mentoring connection with Intel researchers. The fellowship is meant to give recipients the freedom to pursue their thesis or a well-defined research project without financial constraints, while also giving Intel a peek into future talent and research.

Applicants must be nominated by their universities / institutes and apply via a structured process. Intel requires that the research aligns with its “key focus areas,” which currently span advanced computing, architecture, AI, and domain-specific research. The fellowship promotes long-term academic-industrial collaboration, potentially opening paths to internships or deeper partnerships with Intel.

Q1: Can I apply if I am not in a “top-tier” institute?
A1: Only nominated institutions (by Intel) are eligible, so you need to check whether your institute is invited by Intel.
Q2: Can I hold this Intel fellowship along with another scholarship?
A2: yes — as long as there’s no violation in the rules of either fellowship.
Q3: Is the grant paid to me or to my institution?
A3: The fellowship grant is given to the institution, which then pays you (stipend) and covers travel or contingency as per approved plan.

Because this is a fellowship (not an exam), the “syllabus” reflects how applications are evaluated:

  1. Research Proposal: Detailed plan including problem statement, methodology, expected outcomes, and novelty.

  2. Alignment to Intel Focus Areas: How well the proposed work maps to Intel’s strategic research themes. 

  3. CV / Academic Record: Educational background, past projects, GPA, achievements.

  4. Publications: Quality and relevance of any published work. 

  5. Letter of Recommendation: From research guide or head of department.

  6. Mentor Fit: Potential alignment and working chemistry with the assigned Intel research mentor.

  7. Budget / Use of Funds: Justification for how grant amounts (travel, contingency) will be utilized.
