Funding situation if I have passed GATE but lack CSIR-JRF NET I have finished my M.Sc. in Applied Mathematics in 2016. I wish to pursue a PhD. Currently I am preparing for GATE (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, a master’s-level national entrance exam in India). In this respect, I have a few questions.  


If I only have a valid GATE score but no CSIR-JRF NET qualification, will I be eligible for the 25 k funding?  
If yes to above, is this funding available for any NAAC-accredited university (public or private) in India?  
Is there any written statement from the government which validates this?
Although I admit that I am not fully aware of this area, here is my 2 cents on the matter based on my limited understanding:


As far as I am aware the GATE exam, is a masters level entry exam. It usually fetches you around Rs.12.4k per month of government funding during a masters degree. While it may be used as an entrance test for a PhD in India, the funding by the government is not available during the a post master level degree. Having said that, universities might sometimes have intakes on individual project based PhDs (where basically they fund you off that project) which might not check if you have a NET score. Again, I say might.
Passing the NET examination indeed does make you eligible for the aforementioned amount in terms of government sponsored scholarship. Ofcourse, you have to send a project proposal to the actual CSIR or UGC to actually get the scholarship.
Funding is usually not restricted by which university you belong to, as long as it is accredited. I am not sure of any written statement that validates this however, but it should be the case.


Please do not take my word as gospel because I am from an Engineering background and things might be slightly different in my area.
