Funded by the British Council and the British government, the scholarships have been launched as part of the celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. The aim is to enable exceptional talent from across India to come and study masters courses in business, administration, manufacturing, science or technology.
The awards will be open to applicants from all over India, and the scheme aims to include students from every Indian state among the awardees. The scholarships will cover university tuition fee, living expenses for the duration of the scholarship (maximum 12 months), a month-long internship in the UK (approximately GBP 900-1000 per month), return airfare and a UK visa.
Indian nationals with a valid Indian passport can apply for the scholarships. The eligibility criteria require aspirants to have a graduate degree with an excellent academic track record; s/he should have applied for admission to a Master's course (12 months' duration) at a UK institution with the course of study in any of the subject areas mentioned above. An ideal candidate must be ambitious, entrepreneurial and have leadership skills. Also, s/he must demonstrate a commitment to return to India and contribute to the development of the country.
The last date to apply online is April 30. Further details are available on the British Council's website: www.britishcouncil.org/india-scholarships-jubilee_scholarships.htm
