Will do!

I had applied to Uni of Wurzburg and area of broad interest is Political Science, I have also applied to other unis in different countries but the current covid-19 situation has made things highly uncertain. What about you?

Hey Shiva, I'm also from India patiently waiting for Phd resuls and I also got the mail from the Delhi office. Lets's hope for the best.

https://www.daad.de/en/coronavirus/#Information for international scholarship holders and applicants This page has some update regarding covid-19 and DAAD scholarship

Hey Wilbert I just wanted to clarify in terms of the DAAD report (2018) as I went through it the other day. I think you are confusing the number of people selected for the "Research Grants - Doctoral Programmes in Germany", as the report clearly mentions the number, which I am quoting here: " Among the most popular scholarship programmes is “Research Grants – Doctoral Programmes in Germany”. In 2018, the DAAD selected 327 scholarship holders from over 1,700 applications; they will receive funding for up to four years to earn their doctorates at German higher education institutions." (pg-18 from the DAAD report, 2018) And the fact that in pg-86 (or in any region specific category of 'Doctoral candidates in different countries) the number surpasses the 327 number (even in the complete overview the number is around 5043). So that means as there are so many programmes within DAAD catering to various categories of students over the world, especially Doctoral candidates, it doesn't mean the succesful ones are among who had applied in the "Research Grants - Doctoral Prammes" programmes, of which there is limited funding. By going with DAAD's estimate 327 out of 1700 would roughly mean 1 in 5 get scholarship in this category, over the world. And I also share your concern in terms of the recent corona outbreak as things seems to getting worse every day, esepcially in Europe. Let's hope things get better as summer approaches! Regards

Yeah that thought has also crossed my mind - the cases keep rising everyday - especially throughout Europe. Let's hope and see how things pan out.

Yeah I got this too! Lets' hope its a good sign and nothing automated!

Hey everyone. Anyone from India waiting for DAAD results? Cheers
