What is the conversion ratio or success rate of students applying and doing well in European countries for a Master's?
Success rates for Indian students applying to European universities vary widely by program and institution.
- Erasmus Mundus scholarships: About 20% success rate (153 awarded out of 756 applicants in 2021).
- Competitive programs: Acceptance rates can be below 10% (e.g., medicine, law).
