Overview
The Government of India has allotted 60 ITEC training slots to Eritrea for FY 2026–27, offering funded professional and technical courses in India for eligible Eritrean nationals.
Complete scholarship details
The Embassy of India in Asmara states that 60 ITEC slots have been allotted to Eritrea for FY 2026–27. ITEC covers course or tuition fees, a living allowance, study tours, emergency medical assistance and return international airfare under programme rules. Courses and schedules are selected through the ITEC portal, so there is no single applicant deadline that safely applies to every course.
Eligibility requirements
The Embassy's Eritrea-specific page states that applicants should be Eritrean nationals generally aged 25–45 who are working in government, semi-government, a private company, self-employed or another organization in Eritrea, possess the qualifications required by the selected course and have a working knowledge of English. The Embassy also notes the general restriction that an individual should normally avail an ITEC/ICCR Government of India scholarship only once.
Tips for this scholarship
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.
- Choose a currently available ITEC course whose qualifications match your background.
- Complete the online application and follow the Eritrean nominating/sponsoring route and Embassy instructions for the selected course.
- Check eligibility, funding coverage, study/project level and every required document before investing time in the application.
- Prepare transcripts, references, language tests, proposal/motivation statement and proof documents early.
- Separate the scholarship deadline from any university/program admission deadline; they may be different.
- Treat “fully funded” as a source fact only when the official provider explicitly confirms the covered costs.
Verification notes
Verified on the Embassy of India in Asmara's current ITEC scholarship page and bilateral brief. The bilateral brief states 60 ITEC slots for Eritrea in FY 2026–27. Because application timing is course-specific, no single deadline was invented.
