The number of fellowships awarded each year would be equivalent to the number of years since 1913 i.e. 101 for 2014, 102 for 2015 and so on. The fellowship scheme is formulated and funded by BARTI and named as "Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar National Research Fellowships (BANRF)." The fellowships are open to Scheduled Castes (SC) candidates belonging to Maharashtra who wish to pursue regular and full time M.
