Hey, there are few things which are a must for securing scholarships, first would be maintaining a strong academic record with a high CGPA as a strong academic foundation is essential for any scholarship application. And secondly try to get some research experience here for your application to stand out.

Also, @Aishaaaa69 besides maintaining high grades, try to get involved in research projects with faculty members, participate in internships, or even conduct independent research projects. This will demonstrate your passion and dedication to the field.

I understand. What about English proficiency tests like TOEFL or IELTS? Are they mandatory?
