Are all scholarships based only on academic percentage or do they also consider English test scores or other criteria?
No, scholarships are not based only on academic percentage. Most universities and scholarship programs also consider factors like English test scores (IELTS, TOEFL), work experience, leadership skills, extracurricular activities, and sometimes financial need or country of origin.
Strong English scores can improve your chances, especially if your academic percentage is good but not top-tier. Scholarship criteria vary, so both academics and other achievements are important.
