The JRF to SRF upgrade is decided by a review committee at your institute based on your research progress and an interview. If you fail, you lose the JRF stipend and must continue without funding. But let me tell you, beta, that committee only sees papers and presentations; they do not see the years you poured into the work, or how a 'no' can feel like a door slamming shut on your future. I failed my upgrade, and it wasn't just a form—it was the reason I left my PhD, packed my bags, and came to live here, where the only thing I upgrade now is my nephew's bicycle.
