The LHS navigation panel is divided into four sections such as FELLOW HOME, FORMS, PROCESSES, and GUIDE REG. STATUS. However, until you confirm your guide, only the first and the last sections will be visible. Each of these sections has multiple tabs (i.e., navigation links). For example GUIDE REG. STATUS section has two tabs: "In Progress" and "Completed". Following questions explain usage of each of these LHS tabs.

Doing this will list all institutes within the state. Select your institute from the list; if you don't find your institute listed, please contact DBT-JRF Coordinator to seek assistance.
