About The Urban Fellows Programme (UFP) 2022-23

India’s urban transition is unprecedented in scale and complexity. Within it lie both the opportunities for economic development and greater employment as well as the challenges of persistent inequality, extreme deprivation and environmental degradation. The UFP offers the chance to be a part of shaping this transition.

The UFP is scholarship-based, nine-month, full-time, residential and inter-disciplinary, based at the IIHS City Campus in Bengaluru. It seeks to combine classroom-based teaching, site-based applied learning, work on live projects and external internships to introduce Fellows to diverse forms of urban practice. The UFP is open to recent graduates and young professionals from varied educational backgrounds or practice domains. The UFP completes its fifth year in May 2022.

Eligibility

An ideal candidate will have a Bachelor’s Degree in any subject or discipline and their age should not exceed 30 years at the time of the UFP’s commencement. Therefore, candidates should be born on or after 1 August 1992. The Programme may, subject to facts and circumstances, consider non-degree training and certification programmes completed after 10+2 schooling. Candidates without any formal education after their 10+2 may also apply, especially if they have valuable experience of formal or informal work in urban sectors.

All candidates must have basic proficiency in reading English. There is support available for candidates with limited speaking ability in English and they are encouraged to apply.

Candidates must be Indian citizens. OCI Card holders are not eligible to apply at this time.

We strongly encourage applications from women, people with disabilities, and those from economically and socially excluded communities.

IIHS provides a diverse, inclusive, open, safe and enabling learning environment. It is committed to the principle of not discriminating against individuals on the basis of personal beliefs or characteristics such as caste, class, religion, region, ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability. The UFP is part of this commitment to create supportive teaching and learning environments. Fellows are also expected to aspire to the highest standards of ethics in their personal and professional interactions.
