No, your scholarship eligibility will not be completely based on your academic marks. While good academic performance is important, most scholarships also consider other factors such as:
- English language proficiency (like IELTS or TOEFL scores)
- Relevant work experience
- Country-specific eligibility
- Financial need
- Leadership skills and extracurricular activities
- Strong application materials (personal statements, recommendations)
With your background in Mechanical Engineering, 52% graduation marks, and 33 months of work experience, building a well-rounded profile will strengthen your scholarship applications.
