Candidates must have at least a first class degree in humanities, sciences, law, engineering, agriculture or medicine from an Indian University. Candidates who are in the final year of a degree course and have exceptionally bright academic record may also apply. Candidates for medical studies should consult the Secretary, as well as the Medical School Offices at Oxford, before   submitting an application. Particular difficulties may arise for those  wishing to do research in clinical departments. Marriage is not a bar to applying for, or holding, a Rhodes scholarship. However, married candidates should bear in mind that the scholarship stipend is sufficient only for one person, and that the trust takes no financial responsibility for the support of a scholar’s spouse. Moreover, spouses who are not British citizens will find it very difficult to obtain permission to undertake paid work in England. Subject to ratification by the Rhodes Trustees, the Committee of Selection for India is responsible for deciding whether candidates comply with forgoing conditions, and for making the nominations How to apply: Visit http://www.rhodesh ouse.ox.ac.uk/page/rhodes-india 5 June 2012 http://www.hindustantimes.com/HTEducation/Chunk-HT-UI-HTEducationSectionPage-HorizonsAlertsScholarships/Rhodes-Scholarships-India-2013/SP-Article1-866431.aspx
