InitMath / MTTS / PTMT Financial Support

A complete, step-by-step guide for faculty proposing to host an Initiation into Mathematics (InitMath), MTTS, or PTMT programme: how to request financial support from the Trust, what to submit, and what happens after.

For: Institute Faculty System: MTTS 5DSPACE Portal Module: Finance › Financial Support
I

Before You Start

A few things worth having ready before you begin a request.

Who can apply

Only faculty members currently working at an academic institute can apply, on behalf of that institute, for financial support to host a programme.

1

Your institute already added to the Institutes database

Check the Institutes directory first - if it isn't listed yet, add it before you start your request, since the form asks you to pick your institute from this list.

2

Your designation, mobile number, and title on your Contact Profile

Your proposer details are pulled from Profile › Contact Profile automatically, rather than typed again here - but submitting is blocked until these three fields are filled in there. You'll be sent there automatically if anything's missing.

II

Starting a Request

Requests are created as a Draft that you can leave and come back to - nothing is sent to the Trust until you reach Chapter IV.

  1. Open Finance › Financial Support › InitMath / MTTS / PTMT

    This nested menu lives under the main Finance item in the navigation bar, alongside Overture, Payments, Donations, and Bank Accounts. You can also reach the same page directly at Financial Support › InitMath / MTTS / PTMT.

  2. Choose a programme type

    Pick InitMath, MTTS, or PTMT from the dropdown and click Apply / Continue Request.

§

Only one active request at a time, across all three programme types. If you already have a Draft, Submitted, or Verified request - for any of the three - clicking "Apply / Continue Request" takes you straight back to it (ignoring whatever you picked in the dropdown) rather than starting a second one. Once that request reaches Approved or Rejected, you're free to start a new one for any programme type.

III

Filling In Your Request

The form is split into two parts, saved separately - finish Part 2 in a later login if you don't have everything to hand right away.

  1. Part 1

    Basic Details

    Department/school, your institute (chosen from the Institutes database) and the programme itself - tentative months, duration in days, expected participants, resource persons, mentors, and sessions - plus available hostel facilities, nearest railway station/airport with travel time, and a description of your institute's facilities and past activities. Upload your CV and, optionally, your department's profile document and classroom/hostel photos here too.

  2. Part 2

    Budget & Bank Details

    An itemized budget breakup (hospitality, accommodation, honorarium, and stationery lines - see the table below), your institute head's contact details, and the bank account the funds should be transferred to.

ItemRequirement
CVPDF, under 10 MB
Department profilePDF, under 10 MB - optional, stays separately downloadable rather than merged into the PDF
Classroom / hostel photosUp to 20 images, each under 2 MB - optionally label each one
Budget linesLocal hospitality, participant/resource-person/mentor accommodation, and a notebook & stationery kit (rate × count × days each), plus resource person and mentor honorarium (per session) and local coordinator honorarium (per day)
Bank IFSC codeAAAA0XXXXXX - 4 letters, a zero, 6 letters/digits
Bank account numberNumeric only, up to 30 digits
§

Part 1 must be saved before Part 2 becomes available - saving Basic Details carries you forward to Budget & Bank Details automatically.

IV

Preview & Submit

Once both parts are saved, you land back on your request's page - a full preview from there shows exactly how your request, and its generated PDF, will look.

  1. Click Preview & Submit

    From your request's page, to open the full preview.

  2. Review the preview

    Anything wrong? Click Back to Edit to fix it - you can still edit freely while the request stays a Draft.

  3. Accept the Undertaking

    Tick the confirmation checkbox for the 5-point Undertaking shown on the page.

  4. Click Declare & Submit

    Your request moves to Submitted and a PDF copy is generated automatically, with your uploaded photos included as an annexure - your CV and department profile stay separately downloadable rather than merged in.

V

What Happens After You Submit

From here, your request moves through the Trust's review pipeline: Submitted → Verified → Approved. You'll get an email and a portal Inbox notification once the generated PDF is ready, and again at each stage.

If it's rejected instead

A reviewer may Reject your request with a stated reason, visible on the request's page. Unlike a Draft, a rejected request can't be edited and resubmitted - you'll need to start a fresh request (Chapter II) if you still want to proceed.

§

Track your request anytime from the My Requests button on the Financial Support › InitMath / MTTS / PTMT page (Chapter II) - it shows the current status, submission date, and a link to download the generated PDF once it's ready.

VI

Once Approved

Approval isn't quite the end - the Trust needs a physically signed copy on file before the process is complete.

  1. Download and print the generated PDF

    Available from your request's page once Approved.

  2. Get it signed

    By you (the proposer), with the date, and counter-signed by your institute head along with the institute's office seal.

  3. Upload the scanned, signed copy

    From your request's page - this closes out the request.
