What eligibility criteria must I meet for the Erasmus Mundus scholarship as an Indian student?
Erasmus Mundus eligibility is set by each master's programme rather than one universal standard. You generally need a recognised bachelor's degree, a relevant academic background, strong grades, and English test scores where required. Both EU and non-EU students can apply, though some programmes add nationality conditions.
As an Indian student, you can apply to Erasmus Mundus master's programmes, but each programme sets its own academic, language and admission rules. Check your chosen programme's page rather than relying on a single standard.

My Advice
Shortlist programmes that match your degree first, then read each one's eligibility page line by line. Since the language test and minimum marks can differ, confirm them before you spend money on an exam.
