Fellowship

Fellowship is available in any academic subject (including Medicine and Dentistry). Fellowships are primarily intended for younger established teachers (not for the senior members of the department) to enhance their teaching and/or research experience, or in the case of Medicine and Dentistry, clinical skills relevant to what they're going to study at the institution they choose.Commonwealth Fellowships are not available for higher degrees.

Duration:
Commonwealth Fellowships are for six months. Awards normally run from October in any year (i.e. the beginning of the academic year in the UK).

Medicine and Dentistry:
If you are a medically qualified applicant and your programme requires you to practice clinically, or to work in a laboratory department reporting on samples from patients, you can only be considered eligible for registration with the General Medical Council (GMC) or the General Dental Council.

Fellowship Application Guidelines :
You must apply for these scholarships at least one year before the course starts. Deadlines vary, so you must check that you know what the deadline is before applying.The UGC sends circulars to all universities in July or August every year for nominations for the awards beginning the following academic year. To be selected, you must be an academic staff member of staff and get nominated by the executive head of the university you work full time at. This is followed by shortlisting of applications and personal interviews in New Delhi.
