Plan beforehand and be clear

about your goal. Use the
vacations between 3rd and
final year for completing
requirements of the
scholarship/country in which
you are interested and apply
with result of 7th semester.
Discuss with relevant
people/seniors before going
for any option. Applying for
scholarship seems hectic but if
you apply with full effort, there
are many chances of success.
Be Patient and keep trying...

Try DAAD scholarships... they

are hard to get but really good
funding and if u aim to do PhD
then have a masters from
Pakistan... if u want masters
only then come to Germany
especially Stuttgart... its tough
and not like Pakistan... You
might have to take 10 subjects
one semester to complete the
course in 2 years...

They should come abroad for

education if their situation
allows it

Self-funding

Germany

Acceptance of Professor

Start searching and preparing

for GRE about 6 months before
application deadlines (i.e.
around December/January
before the start of academic
year). Apply for as many
scholarships as you can.
Yeah I will recommend
because scholarship is too
good as stipend amount is too
good. I get 1200usd on
monthly basis for living other
than fee waiver. Dollar
Conversion rate is also
according to market rate,
However HEC bonds you to
come back and serve in
Pakistan for at least 5 years.
This thing must be in mind
before applying for this
scholarship.

www.ait.ac.th

Apply in March

mjdnaeem@gmail.com

They should try to get higher

study from good foreign
universities and apply
wholeheartedly everywhere in
the world.

www.curtin.edu.au

Admissions are open for 12 month and

they offer 3 intake in a year

dhodhal@yahoo.com

I recommend this course but

try on scholarship. By selffunded its very difficult to
complete degree on time.

Students with good CGPA must apply for MEXT, Erasmus Mundus, Saudi Govt. funding
and Fulbright Scholarships and to professors for research assistant-ships.
Students with reasonable GPAs should try for HEC Scholarships and Erasmus Mundus
Scholarship.
For admission with self-funding, CGPA above 3 or in some cases even less than 3 is also
acceptable.
Target the country/university/scholarship of your interest and complete the requirements
beforehand, to avoid wasting time.
The requirements mentioned in above table are compulsory.
For queries related to statement of purpose, Reference letters, CV or Recommendation
letters, feel free to contact.
