Academic proficiency in English language is an absolute imperative. So please do not, repeat NOT, nominate candidates whose ability to read, write, comprehend, understand, and speak English is questionable except when the training program is itself intended to develop this skill (for courses to learn English)

The nominating organization may kindly ensure that the candidates once selected do not opt out, either for reasons of administrative exigencies or personal emergencies (in such cases, the candidate must return the entire cost of training to ITEC Division), except in cases where the personal emergency is of grave consequence. In the past years, we have had candidates opting out, after their selection, due to a festival or marriage in their family. This is taken adverse note of by the authorities of the Government of India.

Candidates may be forewarned of differences in weather conditions, or culture, language, cuisine, etc. They may be also conveyed that while the cash allowance is adequate for subsistence, they may wish to supplement, should they be inclined.

Due care must be taken to ensure that information sought in the application form is provided correctly.

Nomination by any agency/organization/ functionary of the Palestine National Authority does not necessarily imply endorsement of the nomination by the Representative Office of India. Similarly, nomination by the Representative Office of India does not necessarily imply selection of the nominee by the Government of India. Suitable candidates would be nominated and the selected candidates would be informed.
