Eligibility AICTE approved Technical Institutions / University Departments with relevant PG programme. Full time regular faculty with research experience and publications. The preliminary research facilities should be available in the institute. One proposal from one PI (Principal Investigator) will be sanctioned at any point of time within the duration of project. Duration of the Project Duration of project will be three year from the date of receipt of funds in the institutes account. Limit of Funding Total funding of Rs.25Lakh. Recurring 15% and Non-Recurring 85% of the total grant. Refer 8.1.7((g)). Disbursement of the Funds 100% of the total funds of non-recurring and one third of recurring for the first year.

The Principal Investigator already having ongoing RPS projects from AICTE shall not be considered unless the ongoing projects are completed. The departments not having relevant Post Graduate Programme intended for execution of the proposed project as well as Diploma level Courses are not eligible for financial assistance under RPS Scheme. The Principal Investigator has the primary responsibility for the implementation of the project. If the Principal Investigator of RPS programme joins another institution, AICTE will have no objection to transfer the project if No Objection Certificates are obtained from both the parent Institute and the Institute where the Principal Investigator intends to join. In case the Principal Investigator leaves the Institution without transfer of the project or goes on long leave, the Co-Investigator would be allowed to continue with the project, subject to the consent of the Principal Investigator in case of long leave and approval of AICTE. All such requests should be sent to AICTE in advance. Therefore, association of a Co-Investigator in the project is desirable. In case the Principal Investigator leaves the Institute and there is no other associated CoInvestigator to carry out the project, the Head of the Department should take the responsibility for identifying a competent person in the Institution in the relevant subject area and submit his/her bio-data to the Council for further consideration. The grant will be utilized strictly for the purpose as specified in the sanction letter. Reappropriation of funds from one head to another is strictly not permitted; Recurring and NonRecurring heads are 15% and 85% of the total grant, unless otherwise recommended by AICTE experts. The list of equipment decided by the experts is final and there can be no changes later on. Once the project is sanctioned, the Council shall not consider any request for additional grant. Separate institutional overheads for execution of the project shall not be provided by AICTE. Out of the project grant, no funds can be used for going abroad to attend Conferences/Seminars. However, for presenting a paper in a Seminar/Conference within the Country, the travel expenses may be met from the recurring component of the grant
