7th Central Pay Commission (CPC) Compensation Structure
PhD positions at IIT Roorkee (IITR) are primarily funded through Junior Research Fellowships (JRF) under DST/CSIR guidelines. The entry-level fellowship is Rs. 37,000 per month for the first two years, which upgrades to a Senior Research Fellowship (SRF) at Rs. 42,000 per month for the remaining tenure. While not governed by the 7th CPC Pay Matrix, the House Rent Allowance (HRA) is aligned with Central Government norms. For a Class Y city like Roorkee, HRA is 20% of the fellowship (Rs. 7,400). There is no Dearness Allowance (DA) or Transport Allowance (TA) provided for fellowship positions. The fellowship is fully exempt from Income Tax under Section 10(16) of the IT Act, and there are no NPS or PF deductions, resulting in a gross and net in-hand monthly salary of Rs. 44,400.
Statutory Reservation & Age Relaxation Guidelines
IIT Roorkee strictly implements the Government of India and Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) reservation policies for PhD admissions. Vertical reservation allocates 15% seats for SC, 7.5% for ST, 27% for OBC-NCL, and 10% for EWS candidates. Age relaxation for national fellowships (like CSIR-UGC JRF) is 5 years for SC/ST/PwBD/Women and 3 years for OBC-NCL candidates. Horizontal reservation of 5% is provided for Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD). Additionally, women candidates are eligible for application fee concessions and maternity leave benefits as per MoE and DST guidelines.
