Sir actually i am doing remote job in uk based company where i hav to work for only 2-3 days a week and salary is very nice. But i hav interest in pursuing PhD in cs from IISc, so if i join next year as a regular student, will I get to work part-time/contractual with my present company along with my PhD (is it legal?).

Like IITs do iisc Bengaluru provides scholarship in the form of institute assistantship to the PhD scholars who doesn't have a valid GATE score nor JRF fellowship?

[@Ri-nk2ke]

IISc intake PhDs on basis of some score only, need not be GATE or JRF. Once admitted, it depends on guide if he has money to fund you he will, other wise you'll have to qualify JRF. Each guide gets funding to provide to some PhD students working under him, so if there's a guide you really wanna work with and he have funding, you're good to go.

​@@Ri-nk2kesir i am doing remote job but i have interest in pursuing Phd cse in IISc as a regular student. My question is will i be allowed to do part time remote or freelance job along with the program? I am afraid that relying only on the stipend won't suffice the present living standard of my family

[@TheKumarGauravShow]

@epictetus__ at IISc i dont think doing part time PhD is possible. However you can do at IITs. I have experienced this when I visited IIT Jodhpur in Dec 2023 for conference.

[@epictetus__]

​@@TheKumarGauravShow Wouldn't opting as an external student introduce many complications? Can't I quietly manage my remote or freelance job while pursuing a PhD at IISc as a regular full time student?

[@TheKumarGauravShow]

@epictetus__ that you can do , i am also doing right part time YT 😁

[@Sachin-yh2cw]

Agar PhD chod denge 1 ya 2 saal me to kya jitna stipend liya hai utna vapas Dena padega kya IISC Bangalore ko.

[@TheKumarGauravShow]

Nhi bhai , jitta din tum kam kiye ho utna din ka paisa tumhe mila , fir chodna ke bad return kyo krna 🥱

[@Sachin-yh2cw]

Thanks Bhai
