Program Overview
The Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) offers scholarships for international students to study in India at diploma, undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD level, through its A2A scholarship portal. Schemes differ by country, and only state and central universities that work with ICCR are included.
The 2027–28 round is not announced yet. In the last round, the portal opened on 27 February 2026 and the last date for students was 15 April 2026, so the date shown on this page is an estimate. We could not confirm from an official source whether Pakistani nationals are eligible under any ICCR scheme, so check with the Indian mission for your country before you plan to apply. You may submit only one application a year, with up to five universities in order of preference. This page was last checked on 7 October 2026.

It varies by program and by your previous education. Some providers accept other English tests, and some waive the test if your earlier degree was taught in English. Check the official program requirements before you apply.

Most universities allow you to apply with a "Hope Certificate" or provisional transcript if you are in your final semester, provided you graduate before the intake starts.
This varies by university. Many fully funded scholarships cover or waive application fees, but some may still require an initial processing fee. Refer to the official guidelines.
For PhD and some Master's programs, securing an acceptance letter from a professor is often mandatory. For undergraduate programs, it is usually not required.
