Hello,

If your employer refuses sponsorship, you cannot apply for a sponsored seat in INI-CET or DNB. Sponsorship is given only by the parent organisation.

You can consider these options:

• Apply in the general category (no sponsorship needed).

• Take Extraordinary Leave (EOL) or leave without pay to do PG.

• Submit a written request asking the institute to reconsider sponsorship.

• Check your institute’s rules, because many autonomous bodies have strict conditions for sponsored study leave.

There is no alternate authority that can sponsor you if your own organisation denies it.

Hope it helps !
