1.) the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC), and
2.) the Technical Cooperation Scheme of Colombo Plan (TCSCP).

The TCSCP programme brochure can be downloaded from here, and a copy of the TCSCP application can be found here.
Each of the two schemes have about 40 training institutes listed under them, although some of the institutes and their courses are found under both the schemes. Altogether there are more than 60 individual institutes offering hundreds of courses under these two schemes. For more information on these two schemes, kindly contact:

When applying for training programmes under these two schemes, kindly bear the following in mind:
i.) If you have already undergone a training programme sponsored by the GoI, then you cannot apply under the ITEC programme. So if a course is listed under both ITEC and TCSCP, apply for it under ITEC since in the future you may still be able to apply under TCSCP for any other GoI sponsored course, but the vice-versa is not possible.
ii.) Your application has to be nominated by a government / semi-government body in Malaysia. Both the applications have a section called nomination, under which a government official (or if you are from a Govt. Linked Company e.g. Tenaga Nasional, an officer from that organisation) has to nominate you for training, and they also have to enclose a covering letter for your application mentioning the same.
iii.) Applying 3 months before the start of the course is ideal for processing your application. But we do accept applications till even about 2-3 weeks before the start of the course. So apply as early as you can.
Most of the institutes listed are well renowned institutes. While most of the courses are short term to medium terms, there are even a few long terms courses listed. This is a golden opportunity, where the participant need not spend any money from his pocket towards the training, except for personal expenses. Do apply for them now.
