Indian Students Now Eligible for Romanian Scholarships, Check out for more details

In an exciting development for Indian students seeking international education opportunities, the Ministry of Education has announced the availability of scholarships through Romania's Cultural Exchange Programme for the academic year 2024-25. These scholarships are designed to support specialization studies rather than covering full bachelor's, master's, or doctoral programs.

Students interested in this unique opportunity must submit their applications by May 26, 2024. Comprehensive details and application guidelines are provided on the Ministry of Education's official website.

Details of the Scholarships

The scholarships are structured to cover a total period of 20 months, with individual scholarship durations ranging from 3 to 10 months. This flexible approach allows multiple students to benefit from the program. For instance, if six students each apply for a three-month scholarship, all six can be accommodated. However, if the number of applicants exceeds the total available months, Romania's Ministry of Education will conduct an evaluation to select the most suitable candidates.

Eligibility Criteria

To qualify for these scholarships, applicants must meet several key criteria:
Citizenship: Applicants must not hold Romanian citizenship or be citizens of the European Union, the Swiss Confederation, or any European Economic Area member state.

Current Scholarships: Candidates should not already be benefiting from a Romanian scholarship at the same level of study.
Academic Performance: Applicants must have a good academic record, with a minimum average score of 7 in their previous education.
Age Limit: There is no age limit for these short-term courses, making them accessible to a broad range of students.

Selection for these scholarships will consider the NIRF (National Institutional Ranking Framework) ranking of the applicant's current institute and their last semester marks. The minimum educational qualification includes documentation of current studies and previously obtained diplomas.
