THE Government of India has announced a special scholarship programme for children of persons of Indian origin and non-resident Indians (NRIs) keen to pursue undergraduate professional and general courses in India for the 2009/10 academic year.

The scheme — called Scholarship Programme for Diaspora Children or SPDC — is for courses in disciplines such as engineering, architecture, technology, humanities, liberal arts, commerce, management, journalism, hotel management, agriculture, animal husbandry, sciences and law.

It does not include programmes like medicine and related courses.

The scholarship covers 75% of the institutional economic cost — which comprises tuition and hostel fees and other institutional charges — or US$3,600 (RM11,720), whichever is lower.

NRI candidates are only eligible to apply if the total family income does not exceed US$2,250 (RM7,319).

Children of NRIs who intend to apply should have pursued at least three years of education — inclusive of 11th and 12th grade or its equivalent — in a foreign country during the last six years, and must have passed the qualifying examination abroad.

Candidates will be selected based on the results of a common entrance test (comprising objective type questions on English, Reasoning Ability and General Awareness), to be conducted by Educational Consultants India Limited (Ed.CIL).

This test will be held on Oct 26 at the High Commission of India, Kuala Lumpur.

Candidates with 60% aggregate marks or equivalent scores in 12th grade, or its equivalent as recognised by the Association of Indian Universities, are also eligible to sit for the entrance test.

In addition, candidates should have studied the prescribed subjects at the qualifying examination level for a particular course of study.
