The Scholarship is a regional need-based initiative. If your family's annual income (ISEE parificato) falls below the required threshold (which is true for most middle-class Indian families), and you submit the correct documentation on time, your chances of receiving the full scholarship and stipend are extremely high.

For your studies? No. All the public universities we recommend offer 100% English-taught programs. However, for daily life and to secure good part-time jobs, learning basic conversational Italian (A1/A2 level) is highly recommended.

Yes! As an international student in Italy, you are legally allowed to work up to 20 hours per week (1,040 hours per year). Most students earn around €8 to €10 per hour, which easily covers personal expenses.

Yes, Italian public universities are incredibly gap-friendly compared to other European countries. A gap of 2-3 years after 12th, or even 5-8 years after a Bachelor's degree is widely accepted, provided you can justify it with relevant work experience.

While some universities accept a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate from your previous college, an IELTS score of 6.0 to 6.5 is highly recommended. It not only increases your admission chances but also ensures a smooth, rejection-free Visa process.
