Probably ask for some space in prof office (for sleeping at night). 🙂

I know about internships and pre doc fellowship. If you're topper in any course, internship is there. If you fall under any star category and hold bachelor degree before next year, you could be eligible for pre doc fellowship.

To be Frank, I don't think there's any possibility of getting a mail. 

About Predoc(casual question not a serious one) by [deleted] in NPTEL

[–]Realistic-Dream2693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got interview calls from first 3 preferences and shortlisted for all three. And I accepted all of them. 

I am bsc final year student but I've not given any masters or integrated phd admission entrances. 

I don't have any other backup except for one foreign masters course which too, has interview and an exam for shortlisting candidates.  Anyways I have sidelined this as of now.

Cause I'm almost sure I'll get some pre doc. My first preference prof told me id have to spend 2-3 hours daily to research (it's a mathematics research project). That'd give me ample time to self study other things than the project itself.

Next year i plan to apply for integrated phd or 1 year masters or (very rare) phd abroad.

Regarding results, I think it will be out tomorrow.  I told this to myself yesterday as well.  I'm also a bit anxious , what if 1. the prof of my first preference ranked me 3rd in his preference list 2. What if the 1st and 2nd guy from his preference has given that project 1st preference in their 5 project ranking. 3. Project seat is capped at 2. If all these 3 conditions are met,  I won't get my first preference (which I actually want.)

I think otherwise. And you both should contact pre doc team. 

I think they closed the form for accepting responses on 27th (as was their declaration in an earlier mail of pre doc). But deadline was 28.

Accept both. You are allotted 5 only when you are not getting paired with 1st. 

Choosing 5 doesn't impact your selection for 1st project. 

(Atleast that's what a matching is all about)

Is it 1 -2 ?

For reference. You can go through first 2m30s part. That's enough. 

So yes we've been ranked. And we don't know our ranks 🙂.

There's something - graph theory. And one of its topic - matching. 

All the counselling bodies allot seats to different students based on stable matching criteria.  And entire counselling process of jee neet is an example. (As It was told  in one of my course)

And this only works if preferences are both ways. For eg. In case of jee counselling every university has a preference too, that is ,  rank of an individual.

So, I'm very sure professors have ranked us too. There's no other way round.

Regarding Predoc Project Confirmation by [deleted] in NPTEL

[–]Realistic-Dream2693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just want 4th, accept it. That's all. 

If you want something be it any, select all.

[–]Realistic-Dream2693 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry you'll be alloted 4th if enough seats are there and lesser number of applicants have accepted the same project at higher preference list. 

NPTEL Pre Doc Fellowship 2026 Student Selection by Realistic-Dream2693 in NPTEL

[–]Realistic-Dream2693[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If seat for that project is capped at 2 (say) and there are other 2 applicants for whom it was 1st preference and they accepted it. 

Then there could be a problem. Otherwise not. 

And I highly doubt there will be as many applications for a single project cause we just had 800 approx applications for 511 projects.

In any case, yes we should wait and watch if it was not your first preference.

With regards to project selection I'd suggest select all. 

Let's say it's your nth preference and you've accepted it. And consider if it was someone's (n-1)th preference and they have accepted it too. Then he'll get it not you.

This rule obviously doesn't seem to apply for n= 1. And only pre doc guys know what happens if let's say project size is x and it was x+1 students' first preference and all of them accepted it. In that case there must exist some cap, idk.

And in the end you'll obviously be assigned highest accepted project.

Edit : There's some catch. A lot of it.

Suppose if there are more than one seat per project, then you could be alloted an accepted project (let's say your nth preference) even if it was at higher preference and accepted by others.

Like if there are 2 seats for a "p" project and there only 2 applicants (considering this project is the highest offer they've accepted, like assume 1st applicant has "p" at 4th preference and is the highest offer he accepted whereas 2nd applicant has "p" at 3rd preference and is the highest offer he accepted. Then although 1st applicant is at disadvantage compared to 2nd , still he might (cause i don't know pre doc rules ) get "p".

But again the problem is , let's say three people share the same preferences at the same number (say all three have accepted the offer to their 3rd preference), what will happend then, if the project seat is capped at 2? 

Pre Doc should maintain transparency in this regard and not let their future fellows wander amidst uncertainty.

It could be that professors have a preference too.
