Ministry of Education notifies scholarship opportunities offered by Government of Romania for academic year 2026-27

Bilateral scholarships are a key component of India's educational diplomacy, facilitating the movement of students between nations and fostering academic cooperation. The Government of Romania, through its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, offers these annual scholarships to foreign citizens from non-EU countries. The notification issued by the Indian Ministry of Education acts as the official conduit for Indian nationals to apply for these grants, which typically cover tuition fees, accommodation, and a monthly stipend for various levels of study, including undergraduate, master's, and doctoral programs.

Candidates interested in these scholarships must meet specific academic requirements and language proficiencies as outlined in the notification. The primary areas of study usually include technical studies, medical sciences, and humanities, excluding some specialized fields like law and pharmacy in certain years. The immediate administrative step for students is to submit applications through the Romanian portal as specified in the MoE's notification (9-1/2022-U.3(A)). This opportunity is vital for students looking for international exposure without the prohibitive costs of self-funded foreign education.
