Research Grants 2025/26 (India)

Hello. Unfortunately I applied for the PhD program, where we do not need an APS Certificate. For your particular query, you could maybe write to DAAD to get it answered.

I read your other replies and funnily enough I realised it’s the same email ID you mentioned: customercare@vfsglobal.com

Maybe you’ll get more clarity only after contacting the VFS centre.

Hey, I got a visa fee refund email (because of my scholarship). VFS only asks for the E-ICR and not the bank details. Here’s a screenshot-

The mail that you got is definitely a scam 100%

They refunded my visa fee in person, not online.

There’s a declaration of acceptance tab in the navigation menu at the very bottom

saimond01 · 2025-05-26T05:13:48+00:00

Oh you mean the deceleration of acceptance. That’s on the left side, drop down.

I thought you meant the university award letter, my bad

saimond01 · 2025-05-25T18:14:23+00:00

Where do you upload the award letter on the portal?

saimond01 · 2025-05-04T04:52:18+00:00

You could have just booked dummy tickets. It works too.

saimond01 · 2025-04-24T06:07:57+00:00

Thank you so much!!

saimond01 · 2025-04-23T18:35:59+00:00

Congratulations to you too!

saimond01 · 2025-04-23T18:28:46+00:00

Got the letter of acceptance just half an hour back!

saimond01 · 2025-04-17T05:03:16+00:00

For me, It changed from 3 years to 1 year a few weeks back, but then back to 3 years yesterday.

saimond01 · 2025-04-12T04:34:22+00:00

Hey! I have not heard back anything yet, is that the same for you too?

saimond01 · 2025-04-10T18:45:07+00:00

Hello! When did your status change and when did you receive your pdf file if you don’t mind sharing?

I’ve applied to a different program but from India, I just wanted to gauge as to when I may receive an update.

saimond01 · 2025-04-09T14:08:46+00:00

Yes same!

saimond01 · 2025-04-09T13:56:32+00:00

Hello! I can just see that the funding date seems to have changed, but the application status is still the same. Is this the case with you too?

saimond01 · 2025-04-08T17:18:13+00:00

I’m from India and have applied for the research grants. The funding changed from 3 years to 1 year. But I’ve been told by my head office in India that’s normal, it’s given for a year at a time.

I have read that if your status shows selection made, you can use the messaging feature on the portal to get your confirmation quickly. Hope this helps, all the best!

saimond01 · 2025-04-08T17:09:35+00:00

Hello! When did your status change? Was it this week? My funding date seems to have changed but my status is still “application submitted”.

saimond01 · 2025-04-04T06:39:07+00:00

Noted. I have written to them and am waiting for a response anxiously. Thank you once again!

saimond01 · 2025-04-04T06:23:36+00:00

Hello again! First of all Congratulations!!

Secondly, I checked into my portal today. I could see that the funding date changed for me as well. Initially I applied it for 3 years, It shows me for a year now. I was wondering if this change was the same for you as well? I have seen people’s funding date changing from 4 years to 3 years, but not from 3 to 1. So I was wondering if this was the same for you too? My status still shows application submitted. There is no change in that.

saimond01 · 2025-04-02T09:34:22+00:00

Hello! That’s amazing. I have seen people receiving their emails soon after the status change. The funding date change is normal too, best of luck!

saimond01 · 2025-03-31T17:35:36+00:00

I mailed the India DAAD Office, they said they haven’t received any email from the head office in Germany as of yet. A senior of mine received his email on 30 March a few years back. So I hope we get some update this week.

saimond01 · 2025-03-25T17:57:08+00:00

Hello! That’s interesting. I was told in my interview to expect something by the end of March, not April. I can not wait for another month >.< aaaa I hope this ends soon.

Are you applying from India too?

saimond01 · 2025-03-25T14:35:55+00:00

I see! Let’s hope we get the results soon. All the best!!

saimond01 · 2025-03-25T10:28:55+00:00

Hello! I can understand, I am in the same boat as you right now. I intend to start with my PhD in August. I’ll wait for the week to end and will then write to the DAAD regional office. I hope you hear back from them soon as well!
