Dear Sir,
Kindly note that I received provisional offer letter for INSPIRE in June 2012 and as per the letter deadline for document submission for final offer is 30 June 2013 . However due to certain personal issues, i could not take admission in Ph.D. in 2012. Now I will be able to obtain at least provisional admission letter by 30 June 2013 but it might not be possible for me to obtain all the documents listed in offer letter before 30 June 2013. So kindly suggest will submission of provisional admission letter be sufficient to avoid cancellation of fellowship?
I have already mailed this problem to DST Office but till now there is no reply. It is very important for me to know how to avoid cancellation of fellowship. Please suggest as early as possible.
