Indian Government ICCR Scholarship 2010-2011

Overview

Five complete sets of application forms are to be submitted to the Indian Mission. Candidate should clearly mention the course and university to which he/she is seeking admission. The applicants are advised to go through the “Universities Handbook” available with our Mission before giving these details. ICCR would not be able to entertain a subsequent change in course of study or University once admission of a scholar is confirmed and the scholar has arrived to join the course.

Level: Undergraduate, Graduate, Postgraduate/PhD

Number of Scholarship: 15

Certified copies of all documents should be accompanied with English translations. A syllabus of the last qualifying exam application.

NOTE:

a) Students applying for doctoral/post doctoral courses or architecture should include a synopsis of the proposed area of research.

b) Students wishing to study performing arts should, if possible, enclose Video/audio cassettes of their recorded performances.


Eligibility and Application Requirement

1) Candidates must pass English Proficiency Test conducted by Indian Mission.

2) ICCR will not entertain applications which are sent to ICCR directly by the students or which are sent by local Embassy/High Commissions in New Delhi.

3) Priority will be given to students who have never studied in India before.

4) No application will be accepted for admission to courses in medicine or dentistry.

5) Candidates may note that Indian universities/educational institutions are autonomous and independent and hence have their own eligibility criteria. Forwarding of applications is thus not a guarantee of admission. A scholarship is awarded only when admission is confirmed by ICCR.- 2 -

6) Students must carry a proper visa. Scholars for structured undergraduate and postgraduate courses should carry full term “Student Visas” while for Ph.D. students “Research Visas” for a specific period of 4-5 years is required. Students should ensure that they get the correct visa from the Indian Embassy/High Commission. Govt. of India guidelines stipulate that if a scholar arrives without proper visa and his actual admission at the University/Institute does not materialize, he/she will be deported to his/her country.

In the case of students who require Research Visas, an additional application for the Research Visa has to be filled and submitted in six copies along with six photographs & synopsis. Applicants may note that clearance of Research Visa can take as long as six to eight months.

7) Before departing for India the scholars should seek a full briefing from the Indian Diplomatic

Mission in their country about living conditions in India/the details of scholarship/the type and duration of the course to which he/she is admitted. Scholars should inform the Indian Embassy/High Commission of their travel schedule well in advance so that ICCR can make reception and other arrangements for them.

8) Hostel accommodation is not guaranteed and is an exception rather that an assured facility.

The accommodation allowance that ICCR gives, allows 2 to 3 students to “chum up”, and share a small flat.

9) Scholars are advised to carry some money to meet some incidental expenditure on arrival.

10) All intending candidates should in their own interest obtain a certificate that they are free from AIDS prior to their departure for India. Even in India, the applicant would have to go for AIDS test before the admission is finally given to overseas scholars. In case any of the nominees is found to be HIV positive in India the scholar will be repatriated immediately and the Council would not bear any expenses on this account.

11) The scholars who are awarded scholarships should bring with them all documents relating to their qualifications in original for verification by the respective college/university at the time of admissions.

12) This application form contains a ‘tear-out’ sheet at Appendix-7 titled “Joining Report of the Scholar”. This form should not be submitted along with the main application. Instead, the ‘Joining Report’ form should be removed and submitted to ICCR by the scholar in the event the scholar has been granted scholarship and only after the scholar has joined an educational institute in India. This form should be submitted with the required stamp & signature of the Institute authorities.

13) For information not available in the “Universities Handbook” or from the Indian Missions abroad, applicants are welcome to contact the “ISD Division” at any of the following telephone/email address:-
