Applicants must submit 1 set of application forms, certificates (notarized), and a recommendation letter sealed in one envelope.
Once you pass the interview round and are selected, you must re-submit 1 set of consular-authenticated (or apostilled) documents. This is valid for 2021 only. For 2024-2025, check with the concerned authority.

5 Things Decide GKS Scholarship selection
Getting a scholarship isn’t that easy. Here are five top factors determining your chances of receiving the GKS scholarship. (These are my view).
- Your academic qualifications and achievements from school times till today and extracurricular activities.
- Recommendation letters from various educators who taught you in various institutions.
- How good you write your personal statement and SOP.
- Korean language, specially TOPIK certification. The higher level, the better!
- How did you perform in the interview (Your knowledge of South Korea, your skills, aim, and reasons for going to Korea, to name a few)? They may, after all, ask whatever they want.
Remember, these aren’t official selection criteria, but my guesswork is based on various reasons, hearsay, feedback, and understanding. So, take only suggestions and not hard facts.

You can apply this year. While SAT score is not required, you can mention it in your personal statement and SOP. English and Korean language tests add some points and boost your prospects. You only submit what is required, though you can mention some personal achievements and skills in extra-curricular activities.
Sir, please suggest me some extracurricular activities which will add value to my profile.
That is difficult to say as it depends on your interest and feasibility. For example, paintings, learning languages, being excellent in musical instruments, and writing something awe-inspiring, to name a few.

And I am also giving my ielts exam next month, and I’m sure that I can get a 7.5 to 8 band. I also contacted with Korean culture center and got 2 certificates from there. Will this help me to get gks scholarship?
2. Can we attach a co-circular certificate which 3 to 4 years old? Like one from 9th grade?
Nthn
It will help, but you need a minimum of 80% on the 12th to be eligible to apply. You can use old authentic extra-curricular certifications, but the latest one is preferred.
Good Evening Sir
1) Sir, when I was in 10th class there was COVID. So we have given 100% marks in 10th. Is this okay? But I’m sure I will score more than 95% marks in the 12th standard. Will the 10th class percentage will affect it?
2) Also as it is now April and the scholarship will start in September. So I’m thinking of giving a try for IELTS for more chances of acceptance. Should I try?
3) Also, for embassy track, is it necessary to get documents apostilled or will notarize also work?
4) We have to write sop in online mode and then get it print out or with a pen?
1. Yes, it’s okay. 12th marks matter more, but the score is just one of the many criteria.
2. You may if you want to boost your chance. It will cost a decent amount, though.

Hello sir, as you have mentioned, for the undergraduate kgsp scholarship form, we have to submit 10th and 12th marks. In 10th I got excluding my additional subject 76% and considering the top 5 subjects it is 83%. In 12th I have 6 subjects as well, and I expect to get around 78% excluding my additional subject and over 82% including my top 5. So it would be very much appreciated by me if they will see my top 5 marks and whether I meet the requirement of 80% or above required for applying to the scholarship. Sir, please do reply if possible.Thank you
I hope they consider the best 5.

If you are giving 12th in Mar 2024, you can only apply in Sept/Oct 2024. Alternatively, you can take admission elsewhere in India in July/August.

Sir, if I do not get 80%, then I will not get a scholarship, but what is the meaning of getting a 20% rank? And if I get 80% then when can I fill out the gks scholarship form in 2023?
If not 80%, you need to be in top 20% of the class as stated in the document. Fo GKS-UG, you can apply in Sept-Oct.
If I have my graduation next year and if I want to do graduation again in medicine, then what can I do?

Gks scholarship support MBBS field?? I am a 12th student plz.
Not all courses are available under GKS, including most of the medical related.
Sir, I’m in 11th my 10th percentage is 67%. Am I able to apply gks, or may I apply for 12th please reply to me fast.
You can apply for GKS-UG if you have 80% or more in 12th. But 10th marks also matter in the overall assessment.
I got 58% in high school in 2022, and I am currently in 11th standard. So my question is, Am I able to take the GKS scholarship???
It would be difficult based on 10th marks.
Hello sir the questions I wanted to ask are.
1. I am pursuing BTech so my question is I have 6 mark sheets for each semester. Does every semester’s marksheet have to contain the previous all semester’s marks? So do I need to apostille all of them, or the last mark sheet will work?
2. Because we need to fill the 10th,12 th and last semester mark sheet on shakshat portal so do we need to send hard copies of the 10th, and 12th mark sheets to MHRD as well or only the college mark sheet. I am confused in this.
I have called to the embassy as well but they didn’t reply me. Please help me
1. Apostilled for final result and transcript, and not semester-wise.
2. They ask for documents of last qualification, and not all. Even if they do, apostilled not required.
But I’m confused in question 1 because my seniors have apostilles there on all semester mark sheets. But they don’t have mark sheets like mine. My mark sheet contains all previous semester CGPA BUT not subjects’ name or Mark.
Example:- My 6 semester contain 1,2,3,4,5, and 6th semester CGPA not subjects till 6th sem. If they need all batchelor transcript apostille? BCz it is confirmed I have to send all My bachelor semesters marksheet as an expected graduation student. But I’m only confused into which one I have to apostille last one or all semesters?
Plz confirm it.
I may not understand it correctly. But in a nutshell, one requires apostilled for final markshete covering all semesters along with transcript. For specific thing, you need to check with university and GKS gudilines.
Hello sir, I want to ask that my high school didn’t go well. My Xth mark was 48%, but my 12th mark is 90+ %. Also, if my IELTS score is good, then am I eligible to apply an undergraduate scholarship?

Hello sir. I want to ask if getting selected for a scholarship is possible to not join a regular University. Since I want to become a trainee in the entertainment industry, it’s hard to go to university daily, please reply, sir.

Hello sir thank you for the information. I have a few doubts it would be great if you could help me out.
1) As I am an appearing student who will graduate by June 2023 and get a provisional certificate, and il be applying through expected graduation so can I submit my provisional certificate by 31 august, or it has to be a convocation certificate as in Mumbai we get it after 8 to 9 months! And as for the expected graduation certificate, should it be apostilled too?
To my knowledge, you need to submit the final apostilled Bachelor’s degree and its transcript before 31st Aug. Not sure about the convocation certificate. You can reconfirm with them.
Hlo sir
Can I apply in gks after 12 having a one year gap?
Yes
Hello Sir!
1) For Ph.D., do we have to apostille both B.Tech and M.Tech certificates?
2) Do we have to enter both B.Tech and M.Tech grades in the application form?
3) For Ph.D., SSC and Intermediate also have to do apostille?
I am not sure, but I guess you only need apostil to M.Tech, and not 10th, 12th, and B.Tech. You can verify the exact requirement when the process starts soon. Yes, you may need to enter grades in the form.
Hello sir, since I am from Mumbai university, our grades are in 10 pointer CGPA, but according to the conversion formula of the university 10 CGPA is 86%, and there are no 100% marks, my CGPA stands at 8.9 which is 75% out of those 86%. What do I do in this case?
There are many websites that help you to convert on a scale of 4, 100%, and different required ones. And once done, check the CGPA egibility of 2.64/4.0 or 2.80/4.3 or 2.91/4.5, or 3.23/5.0.
I’m currently working as a full-time associate for a company, so I was wondering whether if I should get a recommendation letter from my managers? can I submit it as LOR?
You need recommendation from higher authroity of your previous educational institutions where you studied in the past.
Alright, LORs from my current high school would work, right? but then, Is it okay if I submit a LOR written by my manager?
Your high school will work but only if written within a year. Professional recommendation at workplace is not required.
Hello sir,
I have some questions:-
1. Do I need to apostille my expected graduation certificate?
2. I don’t have my birth certificate but I and my parents have passports and voter id, so voter ID will work as citizenship proof?
3. In all of my documents my father’s surname is JANGID, but on his all documents, he has his surname JANGIR which is considered in India as JANGID. I only need his 2 documents- 1. Passport and voter ID, which have JANGIR.
All my documents have the same spelling, but if I compare my mark sheet to his only R is different, and only his surname is not in mine.
1. Yes 2. Yes 3. Not sure. Maybe you need an affidavit, or one of the two documents will do.
Hello sir,
Thank you so much for your reply. I’ve forgotten. I’ve 2 questions. I’ve 87% in 10th, 73.20% in 12th, and I’m in my final year right now, but till now, I’ve 88.9%. So can I apply for GKS-G 2023? I hope you give +ve me reply.
If you get overall 80% or more in your graduation, you can apply for it. Having higher scores in 10th and 12th boost your prospects, but not a strict limitation of not getting qualified.
Sir.
Can you tell me if we can apostille the expected graduation certificate as per my knowledge,, you cannot apostille the expected graduation certificate? Because the expected graduation certificate is issued by the institute, and it’s not considered an authorized and official document like government or University/board documents.
I guess you need the final degree and its transcript to apostille. I’m not aware if expected graduation can be apsotilled as you rightly mentioned.
Hello sir. I will be applying for gks graduate 2023 as I have just completed my 5 semesters and the result is yet to be announced. Plus, I will be graduating in June 2023. So, please could you tell me what transcript I should provide as I am an expected graduation student.

So though I will get a provisional graduation certificate for the admission process, I won’t be able to get the Degree Certificate before 31st August, as mentioned in the guidelines. What can be done in this case? Can I still be eligible for this year’s GKS?
You need final mark sheet before your departure if in case you are selected. If you feel you won’t get, apply in 2024 only.
Hello sir, I completed engineering with 75%. Is there any chance for me to do a master’s with a scholarship?
Difficult since at least 80% is required to be eligible to apply.
Hello sir, I want to apply for gks scholarship through the university track. Can you tell me which university provides scholarships for global MBA?
I am not aware of GKS affiliated college offering global MBA. You can check the available colleges and its programs.
Hello sir, I went through your article on the GKS scholarship & I had some queries regarding it :
1. I completed my 12th in 2016 with Commerce background & scored 42%.
2. I have a year’s diploma certificate in fashion design, which I received in 2017.
3. Due to personal family issues, I had to do a job in a BPO from August 2018 to April 2019.
4. I finally completed my BA with my major in English Literature in 2022 (started in 2019), where I scored 75.08% (overall) in my score was – The first year – 89.25, Second year – 78.75, and the Third year – 57. 25.
5. My 10th GPA was 6.2 and 11th % was 54.
6. Due to the lockdown, I never got the chance to participate in extracurricular activities as my college conducted/ offered nothing.
7. But during my school days, I’ve participated in many competitions & programs that the school offered, and I have each & every certificate for those times.
8. As my university told me before that they won’t be able to provide me my bachelor’s degree or a date by which I will receive my degree/result, I have already failed to apply for the GKS-G 2023-24 as I don’t have all my documents, including bachelors degree.
9. Also, my uni is not a central university or doesn’t fall under NAAC, INI, or CFTI, but it comes under NIRF, which is MHRD approved & is eligible to receive Central assistance, as per UGC Act 1956.
But the thing is that as per GKS-G guidelines, under the “Criteria for nomination” column, they said candidates who passed from NAAC, INI, CFTI & Central university would get the priority. Also, there is a statement – “NIRF ranking/ marks obtained in graduation to be used as a tie-breaker in making nominations.” Which I don’t understand at all.
Please Sir, based on my overall report, please tell me that now, as I’m trying to upgrade my profile by giving TOPIK, TOEFL & internships in marketing & management courses, please tell me that I still have even a slight chance of getting the scholarship for MBA in 2024-25. Please let me know the meaning of this university criteria as well.
Please help me.
I appreciate your effort and zeal to get GKS, but unfortunately since you got less than 80% in graduation as well as 12th (though less important), you won’t be eligible to apply. Rest of the things matter only if you have 80% or more overall.
Thank you so much for the response sir, but sir I’ve seen YT vids of prior successful applicants who revealed that they managed to get the scholarship even with a percentage like 60 or 65 & with low cgpa as well.
According to them, their updated profile & a clear vision of the benefit of the scholarship in terms of their future helped them a lot. And, even I have a clear picture of why exactly I want the scholarship. It’s not only because of the Hallyu wave, (it did help me discover the scholarship, though) but it’s just that some real serious family issues affected my educational consistency. But now as things are finally settled & I am back to focus on my career, all I want is to achieve my biggest dream.
So will the percentage really gonna take my chances away?? Even if I had a perfect study plan & upgraded profile which showcases my capabilities & skills. Even if I ended up making my profile closest to what they’re looking for??
I won’t say “exactly like that” because I don’t believe in the existence of perfection. But sir, should I really stop trying just because I’ve a lesser percentage??
80% or more is mandatory, so not possible. Even if one apply, chances of selections are low considering thousands of applicants with over 90% apply each year for only a few seats.
I can’t seem to find the comment section. I had a question I will be graduating in 2023 around June or July, not sure, but as of now I’m done with 4 semesters, and I’m giving my fifth semester now, but the results are going to be out around mid-February, and the gks application it starts around the first or second week of Feb, so I was wondering If I can still apply for the scholarship with my past few semesters results?
You can apply in Feb 2023 if you expect to get final result by Aug 2023. Otherwise, you can only apply in 2024.
Alright, understood however, I’m done with only 4 semesters? would that be fine I mean, can I apply for the scholarship with my 4 semesters?
Yes as an appearing student.
My overall CGPA is 9.10 would I be able to make it?
You can apply. Getting scholarships depends on several factors.
Sir I am from India and I am currently doing my GNM nursing. Can I study post-basic BSc nursing in South Korea through GKS after completing my GNM? Can I apply for it?
Check if that course is available under GKS. And if you fits the requirement criteria, you can apply later.
Sir, I graduated recently and I scored 73.5% in my bachelor’s degree so am i eligible to apply for masters scholarship?
I am afraid, No.
sir, I am recently graduated BBA in the 2022 batch with 88%, am I still able to fill out the form & grab this scholarship opportunity?
Yes, you can apply next year if you fits the other criteria.
Hello Sir. Can I apply for GKS 2023 undergraduate because my 12th result will come by nov 2022?

Sir,
I am final year Engineering student and i am in my first semester. Can i apply for GKS in FEB 2023?? Because my second semester will finish in JUN 2023 and then apply for GKS I have to wait for FEB 2024.
You can apply in Feb 2023 as an appearing student if you expect to get final result by Aug.
hello sir,
1. I’m currently in my final year of graduation. In my university we have only 1 semester per year and do not provide marksheet each year, it’ll be a combined marksheet at the time of graduation. That means i do not have any documents regarding my graduation while applying for gks. What should i do?
2. My parent’s identity documents don’t have any middle name in their documents but in mine they do have a middle name. Will it be a problem?
1. You must be getting yearly semester marks/certification in 2nd year. 2. No, as long as it matches with official documents.
Namaste sir,
I am in the 12th standard and want my future education to be in South Korea. Can I apply? and How?

Hello sir, I want to apply for gks scholarship through the university track. I want to apply for AJOU university. Is this university provide scholarships for clinical psychology?
You have to check the available universities and courses. You can apply next year, so you have to do the research.
I am going to apply for the scholarship next year (undergraduate), but I don’t have the mark sheet for classes 9 to 11th I have only the 10th board mark sheet and this next year, I will get my 12th mark sheet but in the application form, the grades of 9th, 10th, and 11th and 12 th has been asked of both the semesters what should I do? Plz do reply.
How is it possible to get 10th and 12th without 9th and 11th? I’m not sure about that. Check the GKS form and your school.
Hello sir! Are the 9th and 11th mark sheet necessary to submit? I have 9th but not 11th because I got promoted in 11th without result.
It is not compulsory, but requirements keep changing.
Hii sir, I want to know one thing. I gave 2022 CBSE but failed in 2 subjects. I will be giving all subjects again from private. Am I elgibile to apply for GKS scholarship next year? plz reply sir.

Sir, it is ok to submit documents on 8th October or 9th October in the embassy of India. Please sir do reply, I got that gks application so late so I’m in hurry to submit my application. So it is okay to submit the documents on the 8th or 9th Oct?
No. Unfortunately, today at 5pm was the last date to apply. You can still try tomorrow, but I doubt they will accept it.
Sir i wanted to ask when should i apply for gks undergraduates as i am studying in 12th and going to get graduated by May 2023, so if I apply in sep 2023 and get disqualified in the last round my whole year will go waste. What should be done? Reply sir…
You can apply in Sept 2023 for the academic term 2024. If you want to be safe, take admission somewhere else as backup.
Sir I can submit colored photocopy of appostilled document for embassy track right?? I don’t need to get any true copy stampin any 3 photocoies ??
Yes, one apostille document and 3 color photocopies. You can crosscheck and verify through the guidelines.
Sir, we don’t need to fill out any online application form for gks university track. Do we have to submit the application directly to the university by courier? Please reply.
Yes, but you can do it online. Nearly all available universities take the GKS application through their websites.
1. Sir, only the apostille seal will be on the original documents, right and the embassy will do the seal. The seal will be only on original documents and the rest three photocopies will be unsealed (apostilled). Right?
2. We have to post our document without apostille to the Korean republic of India with 4 color photocopies 1 will be an original photocopy, and the rest, 3 will be a color photocopy, right??
3. and we have to print 4 hard copies first and then sign on 4 photocopies …Or first we sign on original and then photocopy of that original signature document.
Once you send it to the embassy, they forward the selected one to NIIED and the university. So it is like Embassy → NIIED → University. Embassy track applicants have to submit 1 apostilled document and 3 photocopies of the same. All should be in original forms, and submitted as per checklist order in the form.
You can check the required document in the official document, and even I wrote several times. Go through it, and you will get all answers.
Everything is mentioned in the official document. Go through it twice, and all will be cleared.
Can I just submit notarized documents for the first round?
No
Hello sir, I’m Sahil from India. I am 17 now and I’m willing to act in kdrama since I was 14. Can I apply for GKS-UG? Because I’m applying to the Korea National University of Arts. I wanna graduate from a Korean arts school. Can I?
If course and college is in the list, and you fit the criteria, you can apply.
Sir our document is notarized and sdm attest and we will not get just only apostille seal because there are holidays so we should send our document to the embassy with notarized and sdm.
You have to provide what is required not what is feasible now unless they give relaxations.
Sir, there is one spelling mistake in my mother’s death certificate in her surname. Am I not eligible to apply for the program will this cause any problem?
There should not be a problem for a deceased person, I guess. But not sure about that.
Hello sir, actually my scores aren’t that great it’s around 55% to 75 % on school days so if I take 80% or more in under graduate. Even then, will I be able to qualify?
It is possible but difficult since they consider the overall academic track record from starting till today.
Sir, I have two questions-
1. Can I submit the birth certificate of my parents as their proof of citizenship?
2. The name of my parents is written a little differently in their Voter ID from my passport, so do I need to submit any additional document which proves they are the same or will that make any issue?
please help, sir!!
1. I guess No. 2. You can submit a passport if that is correct. You can apply for a correction in voter id, and then apostille.
Sir,
my passport is under process so I can use a voter id card instead of a passport, and when I get my passport, I will submit to university is that possible i want to fill the gks scholarship form this year.
And the second question is whether I can use the file number of the passport?
A voter ID card is also accepted, but you may require apostilled one. I don’t think one can apply through file number.
Sir, I have completed my 12th. Then I joined a BSc degree (3 years), but I haven’t attended the class, and I don’t have any certificate and took drop out in the first year only. So I TC from this college, not from my school where I completed 12th. Will this create a problem?
For GKS-UG, you only need certification related to the 12th. So, it shouldn’t be any problem.
What about the extra circular activity certificates? Do we need to send just photocopies or the original to the embassy?
There is no specfic guidline for that. So, I guess you can attach photocopy and present original if called for interview.
Thank you sir.
Sir, the language tests like TOPIK should be done online or offline?
TOPIK is a 100% offline test.
Sir, my department is medicine, and snu is providing medicines as a department of study. So I thought to apply via uni. Track directly to snu but snu is not included in uni tracklist. So is it possible to apply to 3 different uni. With different departments, if I apply through the embassy track and do I have to write 3 different personal statements for that? Please reply I am super confused.
You can only apply to those departments and universities listed under GKS. You have to choose one university and department on the university track, and there would be only one personal statement.
Hello, sir. I wanted to know if there is a monthly allowance for Master’s students as well. And if so, how much?
Yes. There is a monthly living allowance of KRW 100,000 for Masters and Ph.D.
Sir, I am really confused.
1. I have my 12 marksheet, and my migration certificate. Soon I will get my passing certificate and transcript. But I don’t know what is graduation certificate. From where can I get it?
2. What a transcript indicates? I mean, does it indicate only 12 grades or does it indicate high school grades?
1. Graduation is your 12th certification, which need to be apostilled, as per the guideline.
2. A transcript is proof of education. Here is the mark sheet.
Transcript and marksheet aren’t same. Right?
Yes, both are different.
For transcript, do we have to submit only 12th marksheet or marksheet of classes 9, 10, 11, 12th all together?
The final 12th.
Sir, my name is Anjali and Now I am in the 11th class and I want to ask you that if a student has got less than (80 percent %) marks in 10th and (90 percent%) in 12th then, is he eligible for GKS scholarship? Yes or No?
I want to become a Teacher. Can I apply for gks scholarship? Sir, please reply to my question.
Yes and yes.
Sir, Is their an exam before the interview, or it’s just document verification and then an interview???
There is no exam but a direct interview for shortlisted candidates.
Sir, when we are applying for GKS scholarship, is there any requirement to show a bank statement??
The process has already started. You do not require to show a bank statement as this scholarship is 100% government funded.
Do I need to apostille my CGPA certificate? My school will certify my CGPA certificate.
You have to apostille your last academic degree. For example, the 12th mark sheet for GKS-UG. School also certifies your CGPA certificate if it was converted.

1. Korean embassy in India has not announced GJS-U 2023 yet. What (as per your experience) can be the last date to apply?
The Indian Ministry of Education initiates the process usually after 2-4 weeks of the worldwide date.
I actually wanted to apply for the 2023 -2024 ug academic year, for which the deadline given was October 11 but i couldn’t find any form related to this gks program to fill up.
There will be a different timeline for Indians applying through GoI.
Sir, my academic transcript of high school and high school graduation certificate is included in only one certificate, what should I do now??
I’m not sure about that. Do what is mentioned in the approved list.
Hello sir! Are married persons are eligible for gks scholarship (PhD)? If yes, then what about visa and accommodation? Can you please give me reply.
Yes, they are eligible. They will provide all the details, visa, and pre-decided facilities once you get the scholarship.
That means they will give visa for both wife and husband?
No. Only the selected applicant.
I have an e-voter id and e-high graduation certificate and migration certificate can I use them in my documents? Will it be considered valid after apostille?
Only use and submit what is mentioned in the list of approved documents.
In my mark sheet for 12 class, neither percentage nor CGPA is given. Only marks of each subject separately is given. I can convert these marks in percentage and CGPA by myself. Do I still need to submit my CGPA certificate?
You can convert. If you have a CGPA, you can submit it.
I don’t have a CGPA certificate. I can convert it on my own. Please tell me if CGPA certificate is mandatory or not
It is mentioned in the official guideline.
First, you need to apostille the previous academic transcripts. You can convert marks into one of the official grading scales of CGPA through online sites like SCHOLARO. Then, you need an authorized document attested by the school/university confirming and validating the same.
Sir, the name of my father in my passport has a slight difference from his own passport. Is it ok for me to submit it?
I don’t know whether they accept or not.
Sir, How many personal statement do we have to submit for embassy track and also sir how many letter of recommendation for embassy track???
You need one original recommendation letter first, then make three identical copies (photocopies or prints) of the initial letter. The personal statement is one. Verify once they publish in a few days.
Hello Sir,
1. I have done my diploma in computer engineering. Sir, I want to apply for bachelor’s in computer engineering. I have 73 marks in 10th and 75 marks on diploma last year.
Sir am I eligible to get GKS? And when do I have to apply?
You need a minimum of 80% to be eligible to apply.
Can I only use 12th marksheet for GKS-U
Can I use apostilled voter card for proof of citizenship for me as well as my parents this year for GKS-U?
Yes.
You need 10th too.
1. Sir, I have notarized and have done the SDM attestation of the required documents. The final step of apostillation is an attestation by MEA, Delhi (Minister of External Affairs). Can I post my notarized and SDM-attested documents to MEA for final attestation, or do I have to go personally to attest them?
2. I have applied for a revaluation of my 12th class. The result haven’t come yet. But scholarship is about to start. Can i use my previous mark sheet in gks because the results haven’t come yet, and it will not come for a long time? What do I do?
1. As far as I am aware apostille is done only on the original or Truecopy. You can verify from someone else.
2. You can still apply as an appearing candidate and submit the certification later.
Sir, please tell me:-
1. Which documents do I require to apply for my 12 CBSE transcript for gks?
2. How can I attest to the required documents?
3. I am going to apply for transcript now, which will take about 3 weeks. Also, September has come. Gks is about to be announced. Will I get sufficient time to apply for the scholarship? What is the estimated time period to apply for gks (undergraduate)?
1. 12th Marksheets and pass certificate.
2. Same as any other approved method of attestation.
3. Yes. You still have over a month.
I don’t have passing certificate but i have migration certificate. Can i use. Migration certificate
Check with their guidelines.
Sir,
Is date announced for UG GKS scholarship or if announced so what’s the date?
Not yet.
I would be going through the embassy track. I would have 4 sets of documents: 1 original and 3 photocopies. I would put all these 4 sets in different transparent/opaque packets (along with the sealed recommendation letter) (I am not gonna staple them or pin them but gonna put them in packets). Then I would put all these 4 packets in an envelope and address it to the embassy. Is my envelope proceeder okay? Do I need to prepare an envelope like this?
You can check the exact procedure with all the details when they publish new one for 2023.
I have a doubt:-
We need to apostille 12 mark sheet, 12 transcripts, my birth certificate, and my parent’s voter id card. But the apostille of all these 5 documents will be very costly. Also, I am not assured that I will be selected as a gks scholar.
So Can I just notarize all these 5 documents instead of apostille?
Last year’s update shows they require apostille documents and won’t accept notarized. So, despite being expensive, there is no other way out unless they change the rules.
Sir can I use my passport as the proof of citizenship, proof of age and birth certificate for UG?
Yes as per last update.
Sir does this mean that I will not have to give all these document if I have my passport????
I guess, Yes. But do check and verify the requirements when they publish the document for 2023-2024.
Regarding the apostillation of transcripts, I have several inquiries. My home is in Mumbai, India.
My university does not give out actual copies of attested transcripts; instead, they only offer online attestation on transcripts supplied by my college. According to the GKS documents requirements from last year, I discovered I needed to apostille my transcripts, but my university assured me they would send them to you straight online. Additionally, as I previously indicated, the university does not provide hard copies of transcripts. Thus, I am unable to apostille my transcript.
Please let me know,
1. If sending my university transcript, an attestation, and a letter explaining my grades is acceptable.
2. For a GKS application, will you accept an online transcript with attestation?
3. Or should I obtain an apostille for the transcript that my college provided? without any attestation from my university?
I appreciate your consideration of this subject in advance. I eagerly await your response. I gratefully thank you in advance.
I am unsure about online copies, as one needs hard original copies for apostillation. You have to check with the concerned government entity whether they do apostillation with online transcripts. If yes, you are done. Otherwise, ask for a hard copy. Last time I checked, apostillation is mandatory for transcripts.
Sir, i have a doubt.
1. I don’t have any surname in my document (birth certificate, Aadhar card, mark sheets, etc). Can I apply without any surname?
2. I am going through the embassy track. This means i need 1 original document set (for the embassy) and 3 photocopy sets (for universities). I will put those 4 sets in different envelopes. On the original set, I will write the address of the Indian embassy. What address should I write on the 3 photocopied sets? Should I put the embassy address or the 3 University address
1. Yes
2. Yes. The instructions will mention where to send it, most likely to the embassy only. You can verify when they will publish in the next month.
Sir when will be date released of GKS Scholarship form or if date released so what’s the date of form and what is last date of GKS form..

Sir, this year I’m in 11th standard and in 10th grade, I got only 63.6 but I will try in 12th I got 80 above can I applied gks scholarship if i got 80 above in class 12th? 10th grades are important for gks?
Yes, you can apply even if you get less than that don’t worry about it still you can try because sometimes marks can’t hide your abilities but still do your best in your exams I’m also gonna Apply next year and have the same desires as you.
You can try if you get 80%+ in 12th, but overall, 10th marks also matter for GKS-UG.
So, for equivalency, do I need to submit any official letter stating that my diploma is equivalent to 12th? Do they accept it??
Probably. Check their official guidelines.
Sir my marksheet and graduation certificate is combined with marksheet what can i give for graduation certificate (migration certificate or Transfer certificate)?
Everything will be clearly mentioned along with guide on the portal where you will submit the form.

Or can I choose Post graduation course with my graduation where I got a 9.10 GPA? If I am in the procedure I want to can we submit the forms or certificates online or offline or offline where we have to visit.
For Ph.D., you can only apply in Feb/March. Also, you need at least 80% and the appropriate background to be eligible for the Ph.D. program. You can apply for GKS-G, though based on your graduation.
Sir, does CBSE provide a transcript if they don’t, can I submit my mark sheet only? Do I need to get a conversion certificate from school or CBSE?
CBSE provides the transcripts.
Can I go to Korea through GKS for graduation in music as career option if I got 90+ percentage in 12th.
Marks is just a criteria to apply for GKS, but the final selection is based on many things, and it is pretty a competitive scholarship. If your preferred stream is available, you can surely apply for it.
Is this scholarship available for nursing studies after the 12th? Please answer me sir plz.
For that, you have to check available courses.
Sir, I have a query. My average grade percentage (of all sox semester) is 8.2 and my last semester grade point (6th semester) is 8.5. Can I submit only the last semester’s grade point or do I have to submit the average percentage?
You need to submit for the entire course.
Sir I want to apply for the university track. Should I write the SOP as the first email to the professor? I have passed 10th this year. Can I send the birth certificate instead of passport?
You can only apply after the 12th, so in 2024. At that time, whatever rules and procedure exists, follow that.
My board is not providing transcripts, so my school will provide me that they made later they sign and stamp on it can I give that for a transcript? 2. For graduation, can i give a migration certificate because because board does not provide us clear this.
I’m not sure about that. Transcripts are transcripts and can’t be replaced with any other document. You can check with them.
Which documents are needed to appostille?
You need to apostille your father and mother’s documents for Indian citizenship and last degree like 12th for graduation, etc.
Sir, in my mother’s voter I’d card her name is Bhagwati Rajak and in my school mark sheet there is Bhagwati Devi Rajak, so it causes a problem in future because of mother’s citizen’ship-proof.
This shouldn’t be a major issue, I guess. Check their T&C.
Sir, do I have to apostille all mark sheets from 10-12th as I’m mentioning all three years in my application, and do I have to apostille all respective passing certificates as well or just the 12th passing certificate will work?
In the next 1-2 months, they will publish the requirement for 2023. You can then check and do the needful. Last year only 12th was needed along with citizenships of yours and parents.
Can’t we just notarize all these documents instead of apostille?
They only accept apostilled documents unless they change the requirements.

What should be my plan B incase I didn’t get the scholarship? Should I get admitted to a college now since the session starts in Sep here?

Yes
Sir I talk about a transcript in my school they dined to give me, so I’m giving them my 3years mark sheet but mark sheet does not contain GPA/CGPA what should I do then?
The respective board, like CBSE, ICSE, etc., gives the transcript.
Yes sir but in CBSE transcript does not consider gpa/cgpa because we have a grading system, please tell me what to do.
It can be converted or there are workaround. You can search for it.
Actually, I got my mark sheet but that’s not original they are provisional mark sheets is it ok to apostille on them and 2nd cause Covid class 11th exam was canceled so school gives me to hand made mark sheet for class 11 it will be okay to apostille on them and send to the embassy???
To my knowledge, only original documents or true copies can be apostilled.
From where can I get 12 class CBSE transcript
From CBSE itself.
Hello sir I pass my 10th class with 76% and 12th bio with 62%. So I can’t apply for gks scholarship, and I can’t try please give me. Reply sir.
Since 80% is the minimum requirement, thus you cannot apply and there is no other option to my knowledge.
Sir, I gain 75 percent in 12th and in gks 80 percent is a must for a scholarship… Please tell me any other option and course by which I came to Korea with a scholarship in 75 percent…. Please reply.
Sadly, there is no other option. Having 80% does not guarantee one will receive the scholarship. It only means one is eligible to apply, just like thousands of candidates for a few seats.
Sir, i will appear for my 12th board in feb 2023. So I will have to submit an expected graduation certificate. But they are saying you have to submit the original certificate by 23 Feb 2023…but in Maharastra, the results are announced in June 2023. What should be done?
By the time form is released in Sept-Oct 2023, you will have the 12th certificate.
Hello sir,
I am doing my class12th from NIOS board and my percentage is 95.1% can any university’s accept me?
Marks is one of the many criteria. It depends on the overall profle. Try your best!
As an engineering student, can I apply to any 3 universities for B.TECH through the embassy track? Is providing a recommendation letter mandatory for undergraduates?
Yes for both.
I got 85% in the 12th board exam and i want to apply for an undergraduate scholarship this year. So my question is, Can i use my Aadhar card as identification or I have to use a voter ID CARD as identification of citizenship?
I guess no, as per the last update. You need a birth certificate, passport, or voter ID card.
Hello sir. I graduated from high school with 90.7% this year. And all my certificates are perfect for applying for gks. But my parents don’t have passports or birth certificates. (In the year they are born, their school graduation certificates are considered as proof of citizenship) and they have voter IDs. Can I submit their voter ID photocopies as their citizenship proof?
And is toefl / topik mandatory?
Last time apostilled voter ID card was acceptable. Language tests like boost overall chance.
Sir I have my birth certificate. Should I get it apostille or notarized?
You have to apostille 3 documents (applicant, father, and mother) to prove your Indian citizenship. Then, the last degree like graduation for PG, and the 12th for UG. I hope it’s clear now. This is last year update, so you can wait for new notification which may or may not come.
Sir For undergraduate,
Do I need to apostille my 10, 11, and 12th mark sheet or only the 12th mark sheet is enough for apostille process because my 10th mark sheet is laminated, I can’t apostille that? That is why sir can you tell me what should I do?
I guess you only need the 12th for UG. When the forms will be available, all details will be there to follow.
Sir if we want to know about universities and our courses how we can contact them? I mean, how we can call them from India to Korea?
Calling is not feasible as neither they will pick up the phone nor speak English. You can mail them, and if you are lucky, you will get a reply.
Sir, if we don’t have a transcript so, can we notarize/apostille marksheet for 10, 11, and 12, or do we have to apostille only 12 mark sheets??? Please clear this sir
last year, they only accepted apostilled one, and you need only for 12th. Check their upcoming guidelines.

If you expect to get a degree by then or before August, you can apply.
Sir I want to do Bpharma through GKS. But I checked last year and the course wasn’t there. Can you confirm and whether are there any chances of it getting added this year.
I do not track courses, so this is something you can check on the official site. While they rarely add new programs, you can confirm once they release the list of available courses and universities in Sept.
Sir, can you please tell if we can use the 10th mark sheet as age proof because it also has DOB? And do we have to notarize the photocopy of extra-curricular activities?
I guess yes and no for notarizing. Do check the guidelines for latest updates.
SIR
What is the last date to fill form for gks 2022 (deadline)??
It will start in Sept/Oct for UG.
I’m a 4th-year law student. And I have secured 79.8% in my 10th and 70.5% in my 12th (6 subjects) but have not participated in any extracurricular. I had very less time in childhood, and I have no record of it. Would I be eligible for gks for studying international relations or should I apply for international relations there?
Plz suggest
It would be challenging based on my academic track record and no extracurricular activities. You can still try your best, though.
I love art can I go through gks on art base. Can I be artist there? My art is good and i have 18.8k followers on Instagram…can I go through gks by only art.
No. of IG followers does not make any difference. You can still apply for arts-related courses if available, and you fit the eligibility. However, post-study, you might have to return to India.
If i cleared my gnm nursing from private so I have chance to go through gks or get a job there. How can I get my knl and from where should I give an exam for a Korean nursing license? And if I get there, are there chances to get a job there?
GKS is only about Government sponsored courses. It does not provide job opportunities, though you can still get a job, but that depend. One should not choose GKS solely for that reason.
To work as a nurse in South Korea, you can take KMLE exam. Other than field-specific knowledge and clinical abilities, you need to be fluent in Korean, like TOPIK level V or VI, which might take 3 years or more.
Hi Sir,
I am Mansi and I really want to do my masters in Korea under GKS. I want to apply for the 2023 session. But I am not sure when to apply. if I want to get into GKS on 2023 when can I apply for the same? Please let me know. Will be waiting for your reply.
MA in Korean would be hard to do without having BA in Korean, or similar language ability. Plus, such options may not be available under GKS. If your aim is masters in Korean, try to achieve an advanced level in India before that.
I want to do MBA in Korea will that be possible?
Of course, if you can afford it. It is always difficult through scholarships, though, and you may also not get enough good choices.
Sir, I want to apply for gks ug 2023. Can I use voter ID card for my parents’ proof of citizenship? Does only 11th and 12 mark sheet are required or 9th, and 10th mark sheet are also required.
Yes, apostilled if they ask for it. You need 10th and 12th mark sheets.
Sir, I already passed 10th (2nd division 😓) in 2019 and I didn’t study 11 so can I apply or not?
No
What is the last date to submit application form for GKS UNDERGRADUATE 2022-2023?
The dates are yet to be announced. Sometime in Aug/Sept.
Sir I am going to take gnm nursing but I am not a bsc student. I currently doing my BA English honors too. So can I get gks and if I get in between my gnm nursing so can I transfer there. Can I get a job there? Please tell me. Thank you.
You can pick a different stream, though not sure if it will affect your selection chances. I guess it cannot be transferred. After completing the course, you have to return to India. Getting a post-study job there isn’t that easy. You may still get, but do not go solely based on that assumption.
Sir! I completed my 10th class. May i apply for this scholarship?? Is this possible to get the scholarship in my age!!
You can apply only after your 12th.
Sir, can I do master’s in data science in South Korea?
If it is available, you can try.
Sir I have 8.2 sgpa in my B.com Hons degree. Can I apply for GKS scholarship?
I guess that is around 78%, i.e., less than 80%. If that is the case, no.
Sir any mbbs degree offer by gks plz tell sir
I didn’t check the available course, but I haven’t seen such programs. Even if it exists, one needs to be fluent in Korea like natives, which is difficult for foreigners.
I’m a student of law. I got 79.8% in my 10th and 70.5% in my 12th exams and currently, I’m in my 4th year. but I have not participated in any extracurricular activities. I have had but very less time in childhood. Would I be eligible to apply for gks master’s in international relations?
If you get 80% in bachelor’s, you can still apply. But overall, chances would be less.
