Applicants from humanities, social sciences and science streams to get a monthly grant; Only first PG degree eligible

The University Grants Commission has published the merit list regarding the National Scholarship for Post Graduate Studies for the academic session 2024-25 pertaining to humanities, social sciences, and science streams. According to the notification, a total of 10,000 students have been included in the provisional merit list, which includes applicants' IDs, names of applicants, institutions, and courses. The national scholarship covers the financial assistance for students pursuing the first postgraduate program in India with the aim of strengthening advanced studies in identified disciplines in key academic areas.

The scheme is available to students who join a regular, full-time PG degree programme at an eligible institution only. Students who have already completed their PG programmes are not eligible for the scholarship. The UGC further clarified, "Students of open, distance or private mode of programmes shall not be eligible for the scholarship scheme." Also, according to the official notification, "In case of integrated programmes, the scholarship shall be given for PG component only. Only students who are below the age of 30 years of age as on the date of admission in the first semester/year of a PG programme are eligible to apply under these schemes,". The merit list of the 2024-25 cycle contains 5,000 slots for students belonging to both humanities/social sciences and the science stream. The list publishes critical information such as the institution and course of each student so that the selection is open for scrutiny. 

This scholarship has been specifically designed to help meritorious students pursue their higher academic aspirations, and also to encourage higher education in different disciplines within the country. Reservation criteria for the scholarship give priority to women students' applications. According to the official notification: "According to the official notification, the slots reserved for women students will be filled first by single, twin, fraternal girl child without considering their marks in UG examination. While the remaining slots will be filled up by merit." This move aims at ensuring more participation of women in postgraduate studies.

Internships at Google are the hottest stepping stones in the Valley. Reason: For students, it means hands-on learning, world-class mentorship, and a brand which can change careers overnight. Behind all that hype, though, lies a fog of myths-from needing an elite college tag to cracking bizarre brainteasers.

What really matters if you want to intern at Google is that, according to clarification by its recruiters, most of the assumptions which students chase are outdated or just wrong. Here's what:

No, You Don’t Need to Be from a “Top” College

Probably the biggest myth here is that Google hires only from big-name institutes. 

Its: “Can I show Google how I think, learn and solve problems?

Lack of work experience is not an issue.

Most interns don't have extensive corporate résumés. What counts are projects demonstrating initiative - class work, hackathons, open source contributions, personal builds, volunteer tech work, or case competitions.

Showcase what you built, how you built it, and what you learned.

What Google Actually Measures

Among recruiters to date, the important priorities have been:

• Clear, organized thinking

• Problem-solving approach

• Curiosity and readiness for learning

• Teamwork and communication

• Relevant skills demonstrated through real work

• Gone are the old cliché riddles like "How many golf balls fit in a plane?" Instead, expect:

• Structured Interviews

• Work-sample tasks

• Coding or skills-based assessments for technology jobs

• They want to know how you will solve real problems at Google.

Types of Google Internships

Internship tracks available at Google are many, including:

• Software Engineering (SWE) - For UG, PG, and PhD students

• Business: Sales, Marketing, Strategy, Operations

• Associate Product Manager (APM): product thinking + execution

• Hardware Engineering: design and test next-generation devices

• Legal Internships: Research and Policy, Country-Specific

• MBA Internships: leadership roles across business teams

Key FAQs — Straight from Recruiters

• Who can apply? UG, PG, PhD students and some recent graduates

• Duration: Usually 12–14 weeks

• References: Useful, not required

• Apply again? Yes - up to 3 roles every 30 days

Therefore, if you don't hear for several weeks, it isn't the time to panic because the matching process may well take up to 8–10 weeks or even more.

Tips to Enhance Your Opportunity

• Build strong fundamentals plus measurable project outcomes.

• Keep an updated, targeted résumé

• Present work using GitHub/Portfolio

• Apply only to positions that truly match your skill set.

• Apply even if some of the competencies appear beyond you - don't self-reject.

In fact, India has emerged as a major talent hub for Google concerning engineering, product, and business roles, among many other verticals. Among the locations, the majority of the interns will be placed in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Gurgaon.

Students from IITs and IIITs make it — but so do candidates from NITs, private universities and state colleges. Recruiters say a strong project portfolio trumps pedigree.

To increase your chances, Master DSA + problem-solving for tech jobs Showcase impact with numbers in your résumé Build in public for example: GSoC, research and open source Set reminders on Google Careers; India roles tend to open in Aug–Dec The Bottom Line: A Google internship is not for the elite; it's for students who can think, build and learn fast. If you can exhibit curiosity, real-world skills and initiative, then you already have a fighting chance. The biggest mistake students make? Not applying.
