GPA condition and defense time for plan participants

Payment to students immediately after being selected in the scheme
Nikbakht explained: The research payment in this project is done in 3-month periods, so that at the beginning of every 3 months, the amount of 45 million Tomans corresponding to the previous 3 months will be deposited into the account of the project winners. Accordingly, in this period of the call, the amount of 45 million Tomans will be paid to the chosen ones who are at the end of the fourth semester of their studies and meet the mentioned conditions.
He clarified: This course has one exception from the call, and that is that students who are at the end of their fifth semester of study and have the conditions of selection can also participate in the call. 135 million Tomans will be paid to this category of applicants as soon as they are selected.

The condition of being free of research/reimbursement in case of non-fulfillment of the conditions
Nikbakht emphasized: The research related to this project will be provided to the students in the form of facilities. Therefore, if the selected candidate submits two essays by the end of the eighth semester and defends them by the end of the tenth semester, the facility will be free of charge. If the student does not meet the condition of publishing articles, but defends his thesis by the end of the 10th semester, he will have a 12-month breathing period after graduation, after which he must repay the facility within 18 months without interest. The defense period will be added to the breathing period before the end of the 10th semester.
Beginning of repayment for students without defense in the 11th semester
Nik Bakht further added: If the student does not defend by the end of the 10th semester, the repayment of the facility will start from the 11th semester and there will be no breathing period, and if the student defends earlier than the 8th semester, the facility will be terminated. The reason for this is that after the defense, he is no longer considered a student and the facilities are for students who are studying. This issue does not mean the student’s poor performance, but is simply regulated by the regulations of the doctoral course facility.
