Thank you for your query! At Pollster Education, we understand how important scholarships are for students planning to study abroad.

Scholarship Eligibility Overview:
Most international scholarships—especially at the postgraduate (master’s) level—are merit-based. They usually require a strong academic record. For many universities in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and other countries, scholarships often require at least a 60% (first class) or above in your previous studies, though some may have lower thresholds or consider other factors like extracurricular achievements, work experience, or financial need.

Your Profile:
- Bachelor’s in Commerce with 48%
- 2 KTs (backlogs)

With a percentage of 48% and two KTs, your eligibility for major merit-based scholarships is limited, as most universities and scholarship bodies look for higher academic performance. However, this does not mean there are no options:

Alternative Scholarship Options & Support

- Need-based scholarships: Some institutions offer scholarships based on financial need, personal statements, or leadership potential.
- University-specific bursaries: A few universities have bursaries or grants for international students which are not purely merit-based.
- Country/destination-specific scholarships: Some countries or regions have special scholarships for students from India, regardless of academic scores.
- Partial scholarships/fee waivers: Some universities offer automatic partial fee waivers for international students, which may not have strict academic requirements.

Recommendations:

- Consider pathway/foundation programs: These sometimes have more flexible entry and scholarship criteria.
- Build a strong application: Highlight work experience, extracurriculars, or any unique achievements.
- Contact us directly: At Pollster Education, we can help you identify universities and programs that might still offer scholarships or financial aid given your profile.
