I chose to this university because it has great faculty working in the area of my interest (Functional Analysis and Operator Theory). At IIT Delhi, we follow books written by authors that have worked/studied at Indiana University. In fact, my current supervisor (Prof. Hari Bercovici) at IU was my top choice because I was inspired by a book written by him. His research credentials are amazing and that’s what matters the most in PhD. The university’s math department ranks 34 and it’s situated in Bloomington which is a very pleasant place to live. I also had offers from - University of Oregon, University of California (Davis) and NYU(unfunded).

Scholarship:

Yes I have received 4 scholarships: 1. INSPIRE scholarship (2014-2019): 80,000 INR/year. I got this by virtue of performance within top 1 percentile in CBSE (12th) in 2014. 2. Fee Remission at Indiana University (2020-2025): 39,915 USD/ year. 3. Spring Graduate Fellowship at Indiana University (Jan-Aug 2021): 8400 USD (one time). This is a very competitive fellowship that is rewarded to students who show promise. 4. Top Up Fellowship at Indiana University (Jan-Dec 2021): 2000 USD (in two instalments). This is given to students whose admission application is remarkable.
