The description following G2 includes a mention of which students are marked out for support as in G2. Project staff would normally be considered for support according to Scheme G1. If that is not feasible due to unavailability of sufficient funds or for other reasons, then support for them according to Scheme G2 shall be considered.

N3. Project Staff (PS) would be considered seperately in a different queue for support, from funds made available from the IRCC.
N4. Efforts to maintain an equitable distribution of support to the extent feasible to most academic units would continue, as has been the case to date.
N5. When the need arises to make such a distinction, conferences/workshops with a more stringent review process/ more demanding standards for acceptance would be given priority.
N6. In addition to the above, Every students project staff, irrespictive of the category and the extent of support granted (Scheme G1 or Scheme G2)
will get an additional support towards registration fee: At actuals, up to a maximum of Rs. 20,000/-.
