Scholaships

The Govt of India is sanctioning Fellowships using various agencies. When they sanction the fellowship I am in doubt are they providing in order of merit or is it byrandom? How to know whether they are giving by merit? Some times the right people are not getting the fellowships. Are they alloting them by random. The out sourcing people may not be doing the right job. It may be necessary to dispaly the marks of the selected candidates.
