You do not need to apply for the India Merit Scholarship – you will be considered and assessed for eligibility by their admissions teams, as your application for the programme is reviewed. They will inform successful scholarship applicants after they have received an unconditional offer for an on-campus, full-time Postgraduate Taught programme, and once the necessary administration has been completed. Notification times may vary, and take longer during busy periods.
