The 20 IITs initially, were given Rs.10 crore funding of repetitive expenditures after which, they have the responsibility of raising funds for their expenses including fellowships. On the contrary, centrally funded IITs shall receive financial assistance from the government for paying fellowships to Ph.D students.
