Government Of Romania To Offer Scholarships To Indian Students, Check Details To Apply

The Government of Romania, through its Ministry of Education, has announced a unique opportunity for Indian students. Under the Cultural Exchange Programme, Romania will award scholarships to Indian students for the academic year 2024-25. These scholarships are designed to facilitate an exchange of experiences in specific specializations rather than funding full bachelor, master, or doctoral studies.

The Ministry’s official notification clarifies that the scholarships are for a total duration of 20 months, distributed among various applicants. Each scholarship can last from three to ten months. For instance, if six students each apply for a three-month scholarship, all six could potentially be awarded. Should the number of applicants exceed the available scholarship months, the Romanian Ministry of Education will evaluate the applications and select the recipients based on set criteria.

Eligibility for these scholarships is specific. Applicants must not hold Romanian citizenship or citizenship from EU, Swiss Confederation, or European Economic Area member states. Additionally, candidates must not be currently receiving another Romanian scholarship for the same level of study. Academic performance is crucial, with a minimum average score of 7 in their previous education. There are no age restrictions for these short-term courses, but selection will consider the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) ranking of the applicant’s current institute and their recent academic marks.

The application process requires candidates to submit proof of their current and past educational qualifications. This includes documents detailing their current studies and previously obtained diplomas. The aim is to ensure that the candidates have a solid educational foundation and are well-prepared to benefit from the exchange program.
