Filing 1040NR since I'm on F1 visa. My spouse on F2 without SSN/ITIN. Being Indian citizen, Can I claim standard deduction AND claim my spouse as dependent by filing ITIN

I am filing my tax returns on 1040-NR since I am a non resident alien on F-1 visa. My spouse on F-2 visa without SSN/ITIN. I am also a citizen of India and would like to take benefit of Tax treaty Article 21.   I was wondering if I can claim standard deduction (no itemized deductions) as well as claiming my spouse as a dependent by filing her ITIN.
