Its been an honour for our university that persons from different genres are being awarded with Erasmus mundus scholarship (Europe's best scholarship) . Prof. Wasim Ahmad of the Department of Zoology, Aligarh Muslim University has been one of them who has been selected ERASMUS MUNDUS SCHOLAR to carry out research and teaching assignment with Erasmus Mundus Masters course "European Master of Science in Nematology" funded by European Union
With the grace of Allah subhanu tallah, I have also been awarded Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window 15 Scholarship for doing Masters from NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Trondheim, Norway.
This scholarship comprises of many salient features like:
1) Full tuition fees,
2) Insurance for health, travel and accident,
3) Return ticket and visa,
4) Subsistence allowance of 1000 euro per month for full duration of course (This is what they have awarded me but for Phd students it is 1500 euro per month).
I suppose this is for the first time in Z.H.C.E.T's history that any student has been awarded this scholarship for doing Masters.
Description of Erasmus Mundus ECW 15 Scholarship:
The Erasmus Mundus External Cooperation Window Lot 15 for India is designed to fund higher education student and teaching staff mobility activities between 12 European universities and 8 Indian universities (IIT Kanpur is among those 8 partner univ.).
