You have several strong scholarship options for studying abroad, including major external awards:

- Commonwealth Scholarship (UK): Fully funded for postgraduate study. Covers tuition, living, and travel. Requires Indian citizenship and a first-class undergraduate degree (typically 60%+). Applications go through Indian nominating bodies like AICTE or AIU. Subject to change.

- University of Auckland India High Achievers Scholarship: Up to NZD 20,000 towards tuition for new Indian students enrolling full-time in eligible programs. Requires an offer of admission.

- University of Auckland International Student Excellence Scholarship: Up to NZD 10,000 for new international students in full-time study.

Many universities also offer their own merit-based or need-based scholarships for international students. Scholarship amounts, deadlines, and eligibility are subject to change.
