Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) 2026 - Type B (University Track)

About This Scholarship

The Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) Type B is a direct-to-university funding track that offers massive opportunities for Pakistani students to pursue Master's and PhD degrees in China. Unlike Type A (which is processed via HEC/Embassy), Type B allows you to apply directly to designated Chinese universities. It is a fully funded package covering tuition, on-campus accommodation, comprehensive medical insurance, and a monthly stipend (around 3,000 RMB for Master's, 3,500 RMB for PhD). With China's booming academic landscape, it is a top choice for Engineering, Medical, and IT researchers.
