India offers scholarship to students in Malaysia

Updated on: Saturday, December 31, 2011

India will offer scholarships to meritorious students from Malaysia to pursue undergraduate, postgraduate degrees or research at Indian universities during the 2012-13 academic year.

However, the scholarships, under India's General Cultural Scholarship Scheme'(GCSS), will not be offered for medical studies for MBBS, BDS or for medical research leading to a Ph.D degree, a statement issued by the High Commission here said.
 
Priority will be given to students who have never studied in India before, the statement said.
 
India is also offering two scholarships for Post-Graduate courses under the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation(IOR-ARC) Scholarship scheme.
 
The Indian Council for Cultural Relations(ICCR) will administer the scholarship programme, the statement said.
 
About eight per cent of Malaysia's population is ethnic Indian and many like to pursue higher degree education in India.
