If you applied for the Science Academies’ Summer Research Fellowship Program (SRFP) 2026, I know exactly what you’re doing right now — refreshing the website every few hours. After writing that 250-word project plan and getting your teacher’s recommendation in before the Feb 13 deadline, the wait is genuinely stressful.
This guide tells you the current results status, how to check across all three academies (IASc, INSA, NASI), what your stipend looks like, and what to do the moment you see your name.

SRFP 2026 Selection List — Current Status (May 2026)
The first and second selection slots have already been released. If you haven’t seen your name yet, the final slots are still rolling out in May 2026 — don’t close the tab yet. Here’s the full timeline for reference:
| Notification | Expected Timeline |
|---|---|
| First Selection Slot | First week of April 2026 ✅ |
| Second & Third Slots | Mid to late April 2026 ✅ |
| Final Selection Slots | 🟡 May 2026 — Ongoing now |
| Offer Letters Sent | Within 25 days of result announcement |
Every selection depends on a guide giving their “concurrence” — basically saying “Yes, I’ll mentor this student.” Guides confirm at different times, so names appear in batches every few days. Don’t panic if your friend gets an email and you don’t see your name yet.
How to check the SRFP 2026 Selection List online
The most reliable method is always the official portal — not WhatsApp forwards or third-party sites. Here’s the exact process:
Step 1 — Visit the official IASc portal
Go to webjapps.ias.ac.in — this is the only official URL. Bookmark it.
Step 2 — Find “List of Selected Candidates”
Look for the 2026 results link on the homepage. It usually appears as a banner or under the SRFP section. The link text is typically “List of Selected Candidates 2026.”
Step 3 — Choose your subject area
Results are divided by discipline: Life Sciences, Chemical Sciences, Physical Sciences, Engineering, Earth & Planetary Sciences, and Mathematical Sciences. Navigate to yours.
Step 4 — Search for your name or registration number
The list is usually a PDF or web table. Press Ctrl+F (Windows) or Cmd+F (Mac) and type your name or registration number. Keep your registration number handy — it’s the fastest way to search.
SRFP 2026 Results — Portal links and stipend by academy
All three science academies run SRFP jointly, but each has a slightly different results page. Use the correct one for your application:
| Academy | Location | Official Portal | Monthly Stipend |
|---|---|---|---|
| IASc Indian Academy of Sciences |
Bangalore | webjapps.ias.ac.in | ₹14,000/month |
| INSA Indian National Science Academy |
New Delhi | insaindia.res.in | ₹14,000/month |
| NASI National Academy of Sciences India |
Allahabad | nasi.org.in | ₹12,000/month |
All three academies reimburse your train fare (AC 3-tier) to and from the fellowship location. Keep your original tickets — you’ll need them for reimbursement.
What happens after you are selected?
Congratulations! But seeing your name on the list is only the beginning. Here’s what you need to do in the first 48 hours:
📩 Concurrence / Offer Letter
You will receive an offer letter via email. Check your spam folder too. This letter confirms your guide and fellowship details.
📞 Contact your Guide immediately
Email or call your assigned Professor within 48 hours to confirm your joining date. Delays can result in your slot being given to someone else.
📅 Duration: minimum 8 weeks
You must complete at least 56 continuous days at your guide’s institution. Plan for May–July but confirm the dates with your guide first.
💰 Stipend payout
Stipend is paid monthly by the hosting institution. Bring your bank account details and original ID proof when you join.
If you do not respond to your offer letter within the stipulated time (usually 7–10 days), the academy may treat it as a rejection and offer your spot to the next candidate. Act quickly even if you’re unsure about dates.
Why is my name not on the SRFP 2026 list?
It’s now May 2026 and the final slots are still being released. If you don’t see your name yet, here are the most common reasons — and why you should still keep checking:
1. Recommendation letter wasn’t uploaded
The most common reason. Check with your teacher or supervisor whether they uploaded the recommendation letter before the Feb 13 deadline. If it was missed, your application may not have been forwarded to guides at all.
2. Your chosen guides are already full
Every guide has a limited number of slots. If all the guides you ranked were already taken by other students, your application doesn’t automatically go to the next guide — it may wait for vacancies.
3. You’re in the second or third slot — keep checking!
Many students are selected in the final rounds in May because someone else declined their offer. Keep checking the portal every 2–3 days through late May. Many final-round students complete the fellowship just as successfully as first-round ones.
4. Eligibility or application errors
If your CGPA didn’t meet the cutoff or you had an eligibility issue, your application may have been screened out before reaching guides. Review the official eligibility criteria against your profile.
SRFP 2026 — Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change my guide after selection?
Generally, no. The science academies are very strict about this. If you have a genuine conflict (medical or institutional), contact the academy directly — but don’t expect the answer to be yes.
Is there a waiting list for SRFP 2026?
There is no officially published waiting list. However, the academies continuously update the main selection list as vacancies arise. Since it’s currently May 2026 and final slots are still releasing, keep checking the portal every 2–3 days — there’s still time.
What if I have exams during the fellowship period?
Discuss flexible start and end dates directly with your guide. The 8 weeks must be continuous, but when they happen is flexible if your guide agrees. Most fellowships run May to July, but a June–August window is also common. Lock this down before confirming your acceptance.
What is the exact stipend for SRFP 2026?
- IASc (Bangalore): ₹14,000/month
- INSA (Delhi): ₹14,000/month
- NASI (Allahabad): ₹12,000/month
All three academies also reimburse AC 3-tier train fare to and from the fellowship location.
How do I download the SRFP 2026 selection list PDF?
Visit webjapps.ias.ac.in and look for the “List of Selected Candidates 2026” link. The list is published as a PDF divided by subject. Use Ctrl+F directly in your browser to search your name without downloading.
Can I do SRFP at IISc Bangalore or IITs?
Yes. Guides from IISc, IITs, NISERs, IISER, TIFR, and other premier institutions participate in SRFP. Your placement depends on which guides you chose during application and their availability. You apply to specific guides, not to institutions directly.
What is IASC SRFP vs INSA SRFP vs NASI SRFP?
They are all the same program — jointly run by IASc (Bangalore), INSA (Delhi), and NASI (Allahabad). You apply once through a single portal. The academy that funds your fellowship depends on which guide accepts you.
