CGPA Required for Scholarships in Nepal 2026: Fully Funded & Merit Guide

Quick answer: the CGPA range that unlocks fully funded scholarships for Nepali students

If you are a Nepali student asking what CGPA you need for a fully funded scholarship in 2026, here is the honest short answer: there is no single number, because the big scholarships do not all set their bar the same way. But the range that matters is CGPA 2.64 to 3.50 on a 4.00 scale, and where you sit inside that range decides which doors are open to you.

At the bottom of the range sits the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS), which publishes a hard floor of CGPA 2.64 on a 4.00 scale, or 80 percent, or a top 20 percent class rank. At the top sits the Fulbright programme in Nepal, which used a CGPA 3.50 alternative in older cycles and now asks for 60 percent aggregate or a 3.00 GPA for its 2027-28 competition. In between sit percentage floors: MEXT asks for 70 percent for natural sciences research students and 60 percent for humanities, Turkiye Burslari asks for 70 percent for undergraduates and 75 percent for master’s and PhD students, and Australia Awards asks for 65 percent or equivalent. Chevening, DAAD and Erasmus Mundus publish no CGPA floor at all: the bar is set by the university you apply to.

The single most useful rule of thumb is this: a CGPA of 3.00 opens the most doors, a CGPA of 3.30 makes you competitive almost everywhere, and a CGPA below 2.64 closes the hardest published floor in the whole list. At 3.00 or above you clear the Fulbright Nepal floor, the MEXT humanities floor, the Turkiye Burslari master’s floor in percentage terms, and every merit-scholarship maintenance rule inside Nepal. At 3.30 or above you also clear the informal benchmark most guides use for the Chinese Government Scholarship. Below 2.64, GKS is closed to you unless your class rank saves you.

Check Your CGPA With the Calculator

Before you compare yourself with any floor in this guide, you need your real CGPA, computed the way your university computes it. Your real CGPA comes from your transcript: every course grade point, multiplied by its credit hours, added up, and divided by your total credit hours.

You can check it in under a minute with the free calculator on the CGPA Calculator Pro homepage. Enter each course, its credit hours and its grade, and it gives you your semester GPA and your cumulative CGPA. There is no Nepal-specific calculator page on the site: the homepage calculator uses the same 4.00 scale that Tribhuvan University uses, so the grade points match the TU table in the next section. If you study at Kathmandu University, read the KU note first, because KU awards an A at 80 percent while TU awards an A at 90 percent.

The Tribhuvan University Grading Table: The Scale Your CGPA Is Built On

Most Nepali scholarship applicants study under Tribhuvan University, so the TU grading table is the foundation of this whole guide. TU runs two systems side by side: an older annual system that reports percentages and divisions, and a newer semester system that reports letter grades and a CGPA on a 4.00 scale, used by BCA, BBS, BIM, BBA and engineering programmes. If your marksheet shows letter grades and a CGPA, you are on the semester system.

The table below is the grading scale TU itself publishes for its semester programmes, as reproduced in TU Faculty of Management programme documents. It is the table this guide uses for every worked example.

Letter grade Grade point Marks range What it means
A 4.0 90 and above Distinction
A- 3.7 80 to 89.9 Very Good
B+ 3.3 70 to 79.9 Good
B 3.0 60 to 69.9 Fair
B- 2.7 50 to 59.9 Pass in an individual course
F 0 Below 50 Fail

Three things about this table matter for scholarships. First, the pass line in an individual course is B-, which is 50 percent and 2.7 grade points. A course below 50 percent is an F worth zero grade points, and a single F drags a semester GPA hard. Second, TU requires a minimum CGPA of 3.0 to pass the semester examinations in the Faculty of Management programmes that publish this table. Third, TU publishes no official formula for converting a final CGPA back into a percentage: CGPA multiplied by 25 is a widely used approximation, not a TU rule.

Now the honest complication: not every TU document prints this exact table. Some TU guides add lower grades below B-: C+ at 2.3 for 50 to 54 percent, C at 2.0 for 45 to 49 percent, and D at 1.7 for 40 to 44 percent. Those bands overlap the B- band above, where 50 to 59.9 percent is all worth 2.7. Your own transcript is the authority: if it shows a C+ or a D, your programme uses the longer table; if it stops at B-, it uses the shorter one.

Kathmandu University uses a different scale again, and the difference is worth real grade points. At KU, an A starts at 80 percent, not 90, and the bands step down in five-mark intervals: A- at 75, B+ at 70, B at 65, B- at 60, C+ at 55, C at 50, C- at 45, D at 40, and F below 40. The grade points run 4.0, 3.7, 3.3, 3.0, 2.7, 2.3, 2.0, 1.7, 1.0 and 0. KU master’s and MPhil programmes are stricter: the scale stops at C+, graduation needs a CGPA of at least 3.0 with C+ or better in every course, and no student graduates carrying an F.

Pokhara University also runs its own version: a minimum CGPA of 2.0 at undergraduate level and 3.0 at graduate level is normally required to continue, Distinction starts at 3.60 for undergraduates and 3.75 for graduates, and the Dean’s List starts at 3.7 and 3.8. The 4.00 scale is shared, but the marks that earn each grade are not.

CGPA to Division: What First, Second and Third Division Mean in Numbers

Under TU’s older annual system, divisions are defined by percentage: Distinction is 75 percent and above, First Division is 60 percent and above, and Second Division is 45 percent and above. Under the semester system, the same words are defined by CGPA: Distinction is CGPA 3.60 and above, First Class is CGPA 3.00 to 3.59, Second Class is CGPA 2.30 to 2.99, and Pass is CGPA 2.00 to 2.29.

Now convert the annual bands with the usual CGPA multiplied by 25 approximation and watch the two systems collide. Distinction at 75 percent converts to CGPA 3.00, but the semester system says Distinction starts at 3.60. First Division at 60 percent converts to CGPA 2.40, but the semester system says First Class starts at 3.00. Second Division at 45 percent converts to CGPA 1.80, but the semester system says Second Class starts at 2.30. A student with 62 percent holds a First Division under the annual system, but the same 62 percent gives CGPA 2.48 by multiplication, a Second Class under the semester bands.

A third mapping also circulates widely: Distinction from CGPA 3.30, First Class from 2.30 to 3.29, and Second Class from 1.30 to 2.29. Under that mapping, a CGPA of 3.30 is a Distinction; under the semester mapping above, 3.30 is only a First Class. Nuffic’s own tables list a TU semester B grade, worth 3.0 grade points, as Second Division in one place. They cannot be reconciled, because they come from different systems, faculties and years.

Here is how to handle it in practice. First, never convert a division into a CGPA, or a CGPA into a division, with a formula. If a scholarship asks for a division, give the division your transcript states. If it asks for a CGPA, give the CGPA your transcript states. Second, if a form forces you to convert, write the raw figure next to it, for example “62 percent (First Division, TU annual system)” or “CGPA 3.10 (TU semester system)”. Third, a foreign university’s own equivalence table wins for that application. For the full division story, see our guide to the CGPA needed for government jobs in Nepal.

The Full Table: CGPA Required for Every Major Scholarship

Here is the whole landscape on one table. Read the “Status” column before you read the number: it tells you whether a floor is a published rule, set elsewhere, or only an unverified benchmark.

Scholarship Level Published CGPA floor (4.00 scale) Status
Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD 2.64, or 80 percent, or top 20 percent of class Official hard floor
MEXT (Japan), embassy track Undergraduate, Research Research: 70 percent Natural Sciences (CGPA 3.1 per embassy), 60 percent Humanities (CGPA 2.5); Undergraduate: 75 percent Natural Sciences (CGPA 3.5), 65 percent Humanities (CGPA 2.9) Official floor, published by the Embassy of Japan in Kathmandu
Turkiye Burslari Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD Undergraduate 70 percent; Master’s and PhD 75 percent; Health Sciences 90 percent Official hard floor (percentages)
Fulbright (USEF-Nepal) Master’s 60 percent aggregate or 3.00 GPA (2027-28 competition) Official floor
Australia Awards Master’s Minimum 65 percent or equivalent in prior studies Floor published in Nepal guidance; no CGPA figure in official DFAT material
Chevening Master’s No minimum CGPA; degree must qualify for a UK master’s, typically a UK 2:1 equivalent No official floor; university bar applies
DAAD Master’s, PhD No minimum GPA published; EPOS and Helmut-Schmidt ask for the upper third No official floor; committee selection
Erasmus Mundus Master’s No EU-wide minimum; per-programme bars, for example 3.17 (Mundus MAPP) and 2.75 (GLOBED) No official floor; consortium bar applies
Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC) Bachelor’s, Master’s, PhD No official minimum; informal benchmark 3.30 (80 percent); individual universities ask 3.00 to above 3.50 UNVERIFIED as an official floor
Commonwealth Scholarships Master’s, PhD Not applicable: Nepal is not eligible Nepal is not a Commonwealth member
Mahatma Gandhi Scholarship (MGSS) Class 11-12 in Nepal 60 percent in Class 10 (SEE) Official floor (percentage)
Golden Jubilee Scholarship (GJSS) First-year Bachelor’s in Nepal 70 percent in Class 12 Official floor (percentage)
UGC Nepal equity scholarships Bachelor’s in Nepal +2 at least C+ grade or GPA 2.4 Official floor
Pokhara University scholarships Bachelor’s, Master’s, MPhil Entry: CGPA 1.8 (Management) or 2.0 (Science and Technology); Master’s: bachelor’s CGPA 2.00; MPhil: master’s CGPA 3.00 Official floor
Kathmandu University merit Bachelor’s, Master’s Maintain GPA 3.0 to continue; some schemes CGPA 3.3 Official maintenance rule

Chevening Scholarship (UK): No Minimum CGPA, and That Is the Trap

Chevening is the UK government’s flagship scholarship, funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office. It pays full tuition for a one-year master’s degree at any UK university, plus a monthly living stipend, return flights and visa costs. Around 1,500 to 1,800 Chevening scholarships are awarded worldwide each year, with a global acceptance rate of roughly 2 to 3 percent.

Chevening publishes no minimum CGPA, confirmed by Chevening’s own eligibility guidance. The requirement is an undergraduate degree that qualifies you for entry onto a postgraduate programme at a UK university, typically equivalent to a UK upper second class, or 2:1, honours degree. There is also a hard work-experience rule: at least two years of work experience, counted as 2,800 hours, and a commitment to return to Nepal for two years after the award ends.

The trap is that “no minimum CGPA” sounds like “grades do not matter”, and grades do matter, just indirectly. Chevening requires you to apply to three different eligible UK courses and to hold an unconditional offer from one of them. Each university applies its own entry standard to your Nepali degree, and that is where the CGPA bar actually lives. Most competitive UK master’s courses ask for a 2:1, and universities publish country tables that translate a 2:1 into local grades. As an illustration, UCL lists a four-year bachelor’s with 70 percent overall or a CGPA of 3.3 as equivalent to a 2:1 for Pakistan, and 60 percent or a CGPA of 3.0 as equivalent to a 2:2. Nepal has its own tables at each university, but the shape is the same: a 2:1 sits around CGPA 3.0 to 3.3.

In practice, a Nepali applicant with a CGPA of 3.30 or above can apply to 2:1 courses almost anywhere, an applicant between 3.00 and 3.29 can apply to 2:1 courses at some universities and 2:2 courses at others, and an applicant below 3.00 should choose courses that accept a 2:2. Chevening itself weighs leadership, networking, essays and interview far more heavily than the transcript once the university offer is in hand. A CGPA of 3.10 with two years of real work and a clear plan for Nepal beats a CGPA of 3.80 with no work experience, because the applicant with no work experience fails the 2,800-hour rule outright.

Australia Awards (Nepal): A 65 Percent Floor and Three Years of Work

Australia Awards is the Australian Government’s long-term scholarship programme, run by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. For Nepal it funds master’s degrees by coursework or by research, covering tuition, return airfare, a living allowance, health cover and an establishment allowance. Only around 15 to 25 Nepali students receive it each year, out of thousands who apply.

The academic floor published in Nepal-specific guidance is a minimum academic result of 65 percent or equivalent in prior studies. That figure comes from Nepal guides that summarise the programme rules; the official DFAT material does not publish a CGPA number. On the usual CGPA multiplied by 25 approximation, 65 percent is CGPA 2.60, but that conversion is not official. What is official and hard is the rest of the package: a four-year bachelor’s degree, or a three-year bachelor’s plus a one-year master’s, plus at least three years of relevant full-time work experience, and IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, or an accepted equivalent such as TOEFL iBT 84 or PTE Academic 58.

One Nepal guide suggests that competitive applicants aim for a GPA of 3.5 or above. Treat that as advice, not a rule: it is a secondary claim with no official source behind it, and the programme’s own material stresses leadership potential, professional qualities and development contribution rather than grades alone. Your proposed field must also match one of Nepal’s agreed priority development sectors for that intake. If your CGPA is between 2.60 and 3.00 on the rough conversion, you clear the published floor, and your time is better spent on the work-experience story than on chasing another 0.10 of CGPA.

Fulbright Foreign Student Program (USA): 60 Percent or CGPA 3.00

Fulbright is the United States government’s flagship exchange programme, administered in Nepal by the U.S. Educational Foundation in Nepal, known as USEF-Nepal or the Fulbright Commission. The Fulbright Foreign Student Program funds a master’s degree of up to two years at selected U.S. universities, in any field except Medicine and Nursing, covering all costs including travel. The Fulbright Committee in Nepal selects only around four nominees each year.

For the 2027-28 competition, the academic requirement is clear and published: a minimum of 60 percent aggregate or a 3.00 on the GPA system, in post-intermediate degrees. You also need a minimum of 16 years of education, a four-year bachelor’s degree or a bachelor’s plus a master’s that together reach 16 years, and at least three years of post-bachelor’s full-time professional work in Nepal in a field relevant to your proposed study. English test scores, TOEFL 100 or above or GRE scores depending on the subject, are required only once you are shortlisted. USEF-Nepal also warns applicants not to convert grades from GPA to percentage figures, and not to round figures up: a CGPA of 2.96 is not a 3.00.

Older Fulbright cycles in Nepal used a different and stricter rule, and you will still find it quoted online: 54 percent for non-technical fields and 62 percent for science and technical fields, or for semester-system students 65 percent in non-technical fields, 75 percent in technical fields, or a cumulative GPA of 3.50 on a 4.00 scale. The current 2027-28 rule, 60 percent or 3.00, is easier than the old 3.50 alternative.

At CGPA 3.00 exactly, you meet the Fulbright floor. At 3.10 or 3.20, you are comfortably above it, and the selection turns on your essays, your work record and your field. At 2.90, you are below it, and no essay fixes that. The recovery example later in this guide shows a student at 2.85 working out what average they need to reach 3.00. For doctoral study, our guide to the CGPA needed for a PhD abroad covers the PhD floors in detail.

MEXT Scholarship (Japan): Nepal-Specific Floors From the Kathmandu Embassy

MEXT, the Japanese Government Scholarship, is one of the most generous scholarships open to Nepali students: full tuition, a monthly stipend of around 143,000 to 145,000 yen depending on the stream, return airfare, and a six-month preparatory Japanese language course, with no return-service obligation. Nepal typically receives around 15 to 25 MEXT research-student awards a year, through a single channel: the Embassy of Japan in Kathmandu.

For the 2027 entry, the embassy’s announcement sets these floors as an average across your plus-two and above degrees for research students, and across SEE and plus-two for undergraduates. For research students, you need 70 percent marks, stated as CGPA 3.1, for Natural Sciences, and 60 percent, stated as CGPA 2.5, for Humanities and Social Sciences. For undergraduate students, you need 75 percent, stated as CGPA 3.5, for Natural Sciences, and 65 percent, stated as CGPA 2.9, for Humanities and Social Sciences. Specialized Training College students face the same undergraduate floors. Age limits are under 35 for research students and under 25 for undergraduates.

Stop and look at the embassy’s own CGPA equivalents, because they prove something important about every conversion in this guide. The embassy says 70 percent equals CGPA 3.1. The usual CGPA multiplied by 25 conversion says 70 percent equals CGPA 2.80. The embassy says 60 percent equals CGPA 2.5; the usual conversion says 2.40. The embassy says 75 percent equals CGPA 3.5; the usual conversion says 3.00. The embassy is not using the multiplication formula at all.

There is a second MEXT route with a different number: the university-recommended track. There, MEXT requires a minimum GPA of 2.30 on MEXT’s own 3.00-point scale, calculated by MEXT’s own formula, in your most recent degree. That 2.30 out of 3.00 is not a TU CGPA and not a 4.00-scale CGPA at all. You can read the embassy’s 2027 announcement in the MEXT Scholarship announcement for Nepali students.

Global Korea Scholarship (GKS): The Hardest Published Floor in This Guide

GKS, the Global Korea Scholarship, is the Korean government’s fully funded scholarship, run by the National Institute for International Education. It covers tuition, a monthly living allowance, return airfare, health insurance, and one full year of Korean language training before the degree starts. For the 2026 cycle, the embassy track offered 2 undergraduate places and 4 graduate places for Nepal.

GKS is the only scholarship in this guide with a hard, published CGPA floor expressed on the 4.00 scale. You must meet one of these conditions: a score percentile of 80 percent or above on a 100-point scale, or a ranking in the top 20 percent of your class, or a CGPA equal to or above 2.64 on a 4.0 scale, 2.80 on a 4.3 scale, 2.91 on a 4.5 scale, or 3.23 on a 5.0 scale. That is the official NIIED rule, published in the Korean Embassy in Nepal’s own application notice. Undergraduate applicants must also be under 25, and graduate applicants under 40.

The number that confuses Nepali students is the pair 2.64 and 3.2. Some Nepal guides say GKS needs a CGPA of 2.64, and others say it needs about 3.2 on the NEB 4.0 scale. Both describe the same 80 percent rule, on two different scales. The 2.64 is NIIED’s own conversion of 80 percent onto a 4.0 scale. The 3.2 is what 80 percent looks like on the NEB school grading scale, where the bands are different. If your school can certify that you finished in the top 20 percent of your graduating class, that route can save an applicant whose raw percentage sits just below 80. The embassy notice is published on the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Nepal website.

DAAD Scholarship (Germany): No Published Minimum, Committee Selection

DAAD, the German Academic Exchange Service, funds postgraduate study in Germany, and its study scholarships pay a monthly stipend of about 992 euros plus allowances. DAAD’s own frequently asked questions answer the grade question directly: as a rule, the scholarship programmes do not stipulate a minimum grade point average for the application. Independent selection committees assess your certificates, references, CV and language proof together with the quality of your study project.

What replaces the number is a set of hard filters and a competitive reality. The hard filters are degree recency, generally a first degree completed no more than six years before the scholarship starts, and residence, generally no more than 15 months living in Germany at the application deadline. The competitive reality is that successful applicants are typically in the top 10 to 20 percent of their class, and the EPOS scheme and the Helmut-Schmidt Programme officially ask for results in the upper third. Secondary guides translate that into rough guides of about 75 to 80 percent, or about CGPA 3.2 and above, but those are estimates, not DAAD rules.

For a Nepali applicant, the honest way to read DAAD is this: if your CGPA is 3.20 or above, your grades will not hold you back, and the decision will turn on your motivation letter, your project and your references. If your CGPA is between 3.00 and 3.19, you are in the plausible range, and a strong project matters more than another 0.10 of CGPA. If your CGPA is below 3.00, DAAD is still open to you in the sense that no rule excludes you, but you are competing against applicants in the top fifth of their classes. Check the country list first: applicants from developing countries are often directed to EPOS or the Helmut-Schmidt Programme instead of the flagship master’s scholarship.

Erasmus Mundus (Europe): No EU-Wide Minimum, Every Programme Sets Its Own Bar

Erasmus Mundus Joint Masters are integrated master’s programmes run by consortia of universities in different European countries, funded by the European Union. The scholarship pays a fixed amount of 1,400 euros per month for the duration of the programme, plus tuition. You may apply to a maximum of three Erasmus Mundus programmes per intake.

There is no general minimum GPA for Erasmus Mundus scholarships. Academic requirements are set by each consortium, and they differ. Two real examples show the range. The Mundus MAPP programme in Public Policy, for its 2027-2029 intake, requires at least Upper Second Class, or 2.1 where applicable, and a GPA of at least 3.17 out of 4.0 or equivalent. The GLOBED programme in Education Policies for Global Development requires a minimum grade average of 7 out of 10, or a GPA of 2.75 out of 4.0. Any guide that quotes a single “Erasmus Mundus minimum CGPA” is quoting one programme’s rule, or no rule at all.

For a Nepali applicant, the method is therefore programme by programme. Shortlist three programmes that fit your field, open each consortium’s own admission page, and write down its published grade rule before you apply. If your CGPA is 3.17 or above, you clear the strictest published bar found in this research. If your CGPA is between 2.75 and 3.16, you clear some programmes and not others. If your CGPA is below 2.75, look for programmes that publish no grade bar and weigh motivation and relevant experience instead.

Turkiye Burslari (Turkiye): Hard Percentage Floors, and the System Filters You Out

Turkiye Burslari, the Turkish government scholarship run by the Presidency for Turks Abroad and Related Communities, is fully funded at bachelor’s, master’s and PhD level, covering tuition, a monthly stipend, accommodation, health insurance and return airfare, plus a year of Turkish language training. Acceptance rates are commonly reported between 2 and 5 percent.

Turkiye Burslari is unusual in this guide because its floors are hard, published, and enforced by the application system itself. The minimum academic achievement is 70 percent for undergraduate programmes, 75 percent for master’s and PhD programmes, and 90 percent for Health Sciences programmes, meaning Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy. Fall below the threshold and the TBBS online system filters your application out at the preliminary assessment stage, before a reviewer ever sees it. Age limits are equally hard: under 21 for undergraduates, under 30 for master’s, and under 35 for PhD.

Secondary guides often translate those percentages into CGPA figures, usually 70 percent as 2.5 on a 4.00 scale for undergraduates and 75 percent as 3.0 for master’s and PhD. Those translations conflict with the usual CGPA multiplied by 25 conversion, under which 70 percent is 2.80 and 75 percent is 3.00. The safe reading is that YTB publishes percentages, not CGPAs, and the percentages are the rule. A TU CGPA of 2.80 corresponds to roughly 70 percent by multiplication, while a TU CGPA of 3.00 corresponds to roughly 75 percent.

Chinese Government Scholarship (CSC): The 3.30 Benchmark Nobody Officially Publishes

The Chinese Government Scholarship, administered by the China Scholarship Council, is fully funded at bachelor’s, master’s and PhD level, covering tuition, accommodation, a living stipend and medical insurance. Nepali students apply through the Chinese Embassy in Kathmandu or directly to Chinese universities.

Here is the fact that most guides get wrong: CSC itself publishes no minimum GPA. The figure you will see everywhere, a cumulative GPA of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale or 80 on a 100-point scale, is an informal benchmark repeated by guide after guide, not a CSC rule. It is a reasonable summary of what competitive applicants look like, but it is not published by CSC. This guide flags the 3.30 figure as UNVERIFIED as an official rule: treat it as a planning target, not an eligibility test.

What is published is the university-level bar, and it varies. China Agricultural University states a minimum GPA of 3.0 or equivalent for its CSC places. China University of Geosciences, for its High-Level Postgraduate Program, asks for a GPA above 3.5 on a 4.0 scale, equivalent to 85 percent or above. If your CGPA is 3.30 or above, you are at or above the informal benchmark and in range for most universities. If your CGPA is between 3.00 and 3.29, you clear the published bar at universities like China Agricultural University. One new rule: since the 2026-27 cycle, bachelor’s applicants must sit the China Scholastic Competency Assessment, the CSCA test, before the application deadline.

Commonwealth Scholarships: Why Nepal Is Not Eligible

This section exists because at least three Nepali scholarship guides state, in plain words, that Nepal is eligible for Commonwealth Scholarships. One writes that “as Nepal is a Commonwealth member nation, Nepali citizens are directly eligible”. Both claims are wrong.

Nepal is not a member of the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the UK publishes an eligible-country list for its Master’s scholarships, and Nepal does not appear on it. The list runs from Bangladesh through Belize, Botswana, Cameroon, Dominica, Eswatini, Fiji, Gabon, Ghana, Grenada, Guyana, India, Jamaica, Kenya, Kiribati, Lesotho, Malawi, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nauru, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Togo, Tonga, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu and Zambia. Nepal is in neither list. For eligible countries, the academic bar is a first degree of at least upper second-class, or 2:1, honours standard. If a consultancy tells you they can secure a Commonwealth Scholarship for a Nepali citizen, ask them to show you Nepal on the CSC eligible-country list. Spend that energy on Chevening or Australia Awards instead.

Scholarships Inside Nepal: MGSS, GJSS, UGC, TU, KU and Pokhara University

Every scholarship above sends you abroad. The scholarships in this section keep you in Nepal, and for most Nepali students they are the ones that actually pay. Their floors are lower, and they are the right first target if your CGPA sits below the fully funded abroad floors.

The Mahatma Gandhi Scholarship Scheme, run by the Embassy of India in Kathmandu, is the most widely available scholarship in Nepal that most students have never properly understood. It supports Nepali students studying in Class 11 and Class 12 in Nepal itself; it does not send you to India. For the 2026-27 cycle, applications opened on 23 October 2026 and close on 15 November 2026 through the official portal. The rules are short: you must be a regular Class 11 student, not a diploma student, at a recognised institution in Nepal; you must have secured at least 60 percent aggregate marks in Class 10; you must be a citizen of Nepal; your family income must be less than NPR 200,000 per year; and you must not be receiving any other scholarship. The award is NPR 24,000 per year for two years, which is NPR 48,000 in total, or NPR 2,000 per month, and it continues into Class 12 only if you pass Class 11 and submit your Class 11 marksheet with a certificate from your principal. You can read the scheme’s own page on the Embassy of India Kathmandu website.

The Golden Jubilee Scholarship Scheme is the Embassy of India’s sister scheme for the next level up. It is for first-year bachelor’s students studying in Nepal, and it asks for at least 70 percent aggregate marks in Class 12, with Class 11 marks excluded, plus the same Nepali citizenship, regular-student and family-income rules, and an age limit of 17 to 22 years on 1 July 2027. The 70 percent floor is the number to aim for in your plus-two final year if you want Indian Embassy funding for your degree.

The University Grants Commission of Nepal runs the largest equity scholarship programme in the country, and its floor is the lowest published floor in this whole guide. UGC scholarships go to Dalit students, students with disabilities, economically disadvantaged students, children of martyrs and conflict victims, Mukta Kamalari, and Muslim women students. The academic rule is that you must be enrolled in the first year, or the first or second semester, of a bachelor’s degree programme in Nepal, and you must have passed plus-two or equivalent with at least a C+ grade or a GPA of 2.4. Applications go through your enrolled institution, typically opening in Falgun to Chaitra, February to March, each year.

Inside the universities, merit is usually not a separate application, and it is usually decided by your entrance exam rank or your semester GPA. At Kathmandu University, merit-based scholarships include a full tuition fee waiver for the semester topper in many programmes, and need-based scholarships require you to maintain a minimum total GPA of 3.0 to continue each year, with some schemes requiring a CGPA of 3.3. At Pokhara University, the scholarship regulations set entry floors: for the 2083 intake the university allocated 1,381 scholarship quotas, and candidates needed a minimum CGPA of 1.8 for Management programmes or 2.0 for Science and Technology programmes at plus-two level, with selection then made by the scholarship entrance examination and a merit list. For Pokhara’s master’s scholarships, applicants needed a bachelor’s degree with a CGPA of 2.00 or a second division, and for MPhil scholarships a master’s degree with a CGPA of 3.00 or 50 percent marks. One example, from Khwopa Engineering College under Purbanchal University: a plus-two CGPA of 3.90 or above earns a 50 percent waiver on the first-semester fee, 3.80 to 3.89 earns 40 percent, 3.60 to 3.79 earns 30 percent, 3.40 to 3.59 earns 20 percent, and 3.20 to 3.39 earns 10 percent.

The pattern across all of these is consistent: inside Nepal, a CGPA of 2.4 clears the UGC floor, a CGPA of 2.0 clears most Pokhara entry floors, a CGPA of 3.0 keeps a KU scholarship alive, and a plus-two CGPA of 3.20 or above earns a fee waiver at private colleges. If your CGPA is below the abroad floors, start here: most bachelor scholarships in Nepal are built into the entrance exam.

Worked Examples: Real Numbers on the TU 4.00 Scale

Everything above is only useful if you can compute your own CGPA and plan around a floor. These examples use real TU grade points and real credit hours, and every number in them has been recomputed and verified.

Example 1: Computing a semester GPA

Sunita is a BBS student at a TU-affiliated campus. In her third semester she takes five courses, each worth 3 credit hours, so 15 credit hours in total. Her marks are: Accounting 82, Economics 74, Business Mathematics 91, English 66, and Marketing 55. Convert each mark with the TU table: 82 is an A-, worth 3.7 grade points; 74 is a B+, worth 3.3; 91 is an A, worth 4.0; 66 is a B, worth 3.0; and 55 is a B-, worth 2.7. Multiply each grade point by 3 credit hours: 11.1, 9.9, 12.0, 9.0 and 8.1, which total 50.1. Divide by 15 credit hours: 50.1 divided by 15 is 3.34. Sunita’s semester GPA is 3.34, a First Class result, above the Fulbright floor of 3.00.

Example 2: Computing a CGPA across four semesters, and why you must weight by credits

Ramesh has finished four semesters with different credit loads: semester 1 has 12 credits at a GPA of 3.10, semester 2 has 15 credits at a GPA of 3.40, semester 3 has 18 credits at a GPA of 3.20, and semester 4 has 18 credits at a GPA of 3.60. The wrong way to combine these is to average the four GPAs: 3.10 plus 3.40 plus 3.20 plus 3.60 is 13.30, divided by 4 is 3.325, which rounds to 3.33. The right way is to weight each GPA by its credits: 3.10 times 12 is 37.2, 3.40 times 15 is 51.0, 3.20 times 18 is 57.6, and 3.60 times 18 is 64.8, which total 210.6. Total credits are 63. Divide: 210.6 divided by 63 is 3.343, which rounds to 3.34.

Example 3: The same marks at TU and at KU give different GPAs

Kabita studies at Kathmandu University, and her friend Sunita studies at TU. Both score the same five marks in a semester: 82, 76, 71, 66 and 58, each course worth 3 credit hours. Grade Kabita’s marks on the KU scale, where an A starts at 80 percent: 82 is an A, worth 4.0; 76 is an A-, worth 3.7; 71 is a B+, worth 3.3; 66 is a B, worth 3.0; and 58 is a C+, worth 2.3. Multiply by 3 credit hours each: 12.0, 11.1, 9.9, 9.0 and 6.9, which total 48.9. Divide by 15: 48.9 divided by 15 is 3.26. Now grade the identical marks on the TU scale: 82 is an A-, worth 3.7; 76 is a B+, worth 3.3; 71 is a B+, worth 3.3; 66 is a B, worth 3.0; and 58 is a B-, worth 2.7. The grade points total 48.0, and 48.0 divided by 15 is 3.20. The same five marks give 3.26 at KU and 3.20 at TU, a gap of 0.06.

Example 4: Target planning for GKS, the 2.64 floor

Asha has completed five semesters, 75 credit hours, with a CGPA of 2.55. She has three semesters left, 45 credit hours, and she wants to finish at the GKS floor of 2.64. Her current grade points: 2.55 times 75 is 191.25. Her target grade points for the whole degree: 2.64 times 120 total credit hours is 316.8. The grade points she still needs: 316.8 minus 191.25 is 125.55. Divide by her remaining 45 credit hours: 125.55 divided by 45 is 2.79. Asha needs an average GPA of 2.79 across her remaining three semesters, a B average, and it is very achievable from 2.55.

Example 5: Low-CGPA recovery, what is still open at 2.85

Bikash has finished six semesters, 90 credit hours, with a CGPA of 2.85, and he has two semesters left, 30 credit hours. His current grade points are 2.85 times 90, which is 256.5. Can he reach 3.00, and can he reach 3.30? To reach 3.00 over 120 total credits, he needs 360.0 grade points, so he still needs 360.0 minus 256.5, which is 103.5, over 30 credits, which is an average of 3.45. That is an average between B+ at 3.3 and A- at 3.7 in every remaining course: hard, but possible with a strong final year. To reach 3.30, he needs 396.0 grade points, so he still needs 396.0 minus 256.5, which is 139.5, over 30 credits, which is an average of 4.65. That is above the maximum grade point of 4.0, so it is mathematically impossible. It tells him to stop chasing the CSC 3.30 benchmark and aim for the floors he can still reach, such as Fulbright at 3.00.

Example 6: The percentage-to-CGPA trap

Dipesh has an aggregate of 68 percent and tells his friends his CGPA is 2.72, because 68 divided by 25 is 2.72. That conversion is wrong, and it understates his result. Suppose every one of his courses was 68 percent. On the TU table, 68 percent is a B in every course, worth 3.0 grade points. A transcript of all B grades gives a CGPA of 3.00, not 2.72. The multiplication formula cost him 0.28 of CGPA on paper, and 0.28 is the difference between clearing the Fulbright floor and missing it. The error runs the other way too: a student with 78 percent converts to 3.12 by multiplication, but 78 percent is a B+ on the TU table, worth 3.3 grade points, so a transcript of all 78 percent courses gives a CGPA of 3.30. Our guide to converting CGPA to percentage for job applications covers the same trap for job seekers.

Example 7: Target planning for Fulbright, the 3.00 floor

Priya has 90 credit hours at a CGPA of 2.90 and 30 credit hours left, and she wants the Fulbright floor of 3.00. Her current grade points are 2.90 times 90, which is 261.0. Her target is 3.00 times 120, which is 360.0. She still needs 360.0 minus 261.0, which is 99.0 grade points, over 30 credits, which is an average of 3.30: a B+ average across her final year. If Priya had 60 credits left instead of 30, she would need the same 99.0 grade points over 60 credits, which is only a 1.65 average. Time left is as important as the floor: do this calculation in your second year, not your final semester.

GPA vs CGPA: Which Number Does Each Scholarship Ask For?

GPA and CGPA are not interchangeable, and scholarship forms use both. Your GPA, or grade point average, covers one semester only: the grade points you earned in that semester divided by the credit hours you took in that semester. Your CGPA, or cumulative grade point average, covers your whole degree so far. A single brilliant semester gives you a high GPA and barely moves your CGPA, because the CGPA carries the weight of every semester before it.

Most scholarships ask for your CGPA, because they want your whole record. GKS asks for the cumulative GPA of the entire curriculum from the previous degree. Fulbright asks for your aggregate across post-intermediate degrees. MEXT asks for an average across your plus-two and above degrees. But some rules are about a single semester: KU’s UGC-funded scholarships require at least a 3.00 GPA in the end-semester examination, which is a semester GPA, not a CGPA, and a student with a strong CGPA but one weak semester can lose that scholarship.

When a form asks for a GPA and does not say which kind, give your CGPA and label it as such, for example “CGPA 3.10 (cumulative, TU semester system, 4.00 scale)”. When a form asks for a semester GPA, give the semester figure and say which semester it covers. Never give a semester GPA when a CGPA is asked for, because a cherry-picked best semester is a misrepresentation, and scholarship bodies check transcripts.

Common Mistakes Nepali Applicants Make

The first mistake is confusing division with CGPA. A student with 62 percent says their CGPA is 2.48, because 62 divided by 25 is 2.48, and then decides they cannot apply for anything. That student holds a First Division under the TU annual system, and their actual CGPA depends on their course grades, not on a division formula. Conversely, a student with a CGPA of 3.10 writes 77.5 percent on a form, because 3.10 times 25 is 77.5, and that percentage is invented.

The second mistake is the 2.30-mapping conflict. A student reads one guide that says Second Class starts at CGPA 2.30 and another that says it starts at 1.80, and concludes one of them is lying. Neither is lying: they describe different systems, one semester and one annual. If your transcript shows a CGPA, use the semester bands. If it shows a percentage, use the annual bands.

The third mistake is percentage-to-CGPA conversion errors, and it is the most expensive one, because it always understates the student. As Example 6 shows, a transcript of all 68 percent courses gives a CGPA of 3.00, not 2.72, and a transcript of all 78 percent courses gives 3.30, not 3.12. Students who convert by division talk themselves out of scholarships they already qualify for.

The fourth mistake is applying with a CGPA below a published floor. Turkiye Burslari filters below-floor applications out automatically, so a 74 percent master’s application is not a brave long shot, it is a wasted slot that could have gone to a scholarship whose floor you clear. GKS has the same character: below 2.64 and outside the top 20 percent, the application fails the eligibility check.

The fifth mistake is treating “no minimum CGPA” as “no grade bar”. Chevening, DAAD and Erasmus Mundus publish no floor, and every year students with weak transcripts and no work experience apply to all three and are surprised to be rejected. The bar is set by the university, by the committee, or by the consortium, and it is usually around 3.0 to 3.3 in practice.

The sixth mistake is rounding up. USEF-Nepal says it plainly in the Fulbright notice: your GPA or percentage figures should not be rounded up. A CGPA of 2.96 is not 3.00, a percentage of 59.6 is not 60, and a scholarship body that checks your transcript will find the difference.

The seventh mistake is paying an agent for a scholarship you cannot win. The Commonwealth error is the clearest case: agents have charged Nepali students for Commonwealth applications that cannot succeed because Nepal is not eligible. Government scholarships are decided by government bodies, not by consultancies, and no agent can guarantee one.

Tips: How to Raise Your Scholarship CGPA Before the Next Deadline

Start with the target-planning calculation, not with generic advice. Pick your target scholarship, write down its floor, count your completed credits and your remaining credits, and compute the average you need, exactly as Examples 4, 5 and 7 do. A target of 2.79 is a plan. A target of “do better” is not.

Attack your weakest courses first, because grade points are linear and a single F is catastrophic. One F worth zero grade points in a 3-credit course costs you 9.0 grade points against a B in the same course, and on a 15-credit semester that single F drops your semester GPA by 0.60. Retaking a failed or low course, where your university allows it, is the fastest CGPA repair available. Pokhara University, for example, allows a student to retake a maximum of two passed courses to achieve the minimum CGPA.

Protect your strong semesters by managing credit load. A semester with 18 credits at a GPA of 3.60 contributes 64.8 grade points, while a semester with 12 credits at the same GPA contributes only 43.2, so loading credits into the semesters where you perform best is worth more than spreading them evenly. Do not overload a semester where you are working part-time or preparing for an entrance exam.

Build the non-grade half of your application in parallel, because for Chevening, Australia Awards, DAAD and Fulbright, grades are only part of the decision. Two years of work experience is a hard Chevening rule and a near-necessity for Australia Awards and Fulbright, and it takes two years to accumulate, so start counting hours while you are still studying. An IELTS score of 6.5 with no band below 6.0 is the Australia Awards floor, so book the test early. A research plan that names a real supervisor and a real problem matters more for MEXT and DAAD than another 0.05 of CGPA.

Apply to several scholarships at once, and apply to both ends of the table. A sensible portfolio for a student with a CGPA of 3.10 is Fulbright, MEXT, Turkiye Burslari and GKS abroad, plus the UGC and university merit routes at home, because the home scholarships have lower floors and earlier decisions. A student with a CGPA of 2.70 should lead with MEXT humanities, Turkiye Burslari undergraduate or the Nepal-internal scholarships, and treat GKS as the stretch target with a clear recovery plan.

Finally, keep your documents ready before the deadlines open. Transcripts attested by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a class-rank certificate from your school or campus, and a clean scan of your citizenship certificate are required by GKS and by several other programmes, and attestation takes days. The MGSS and GJSS window for 2026-27 closes on 15 November 2026, so if you are a Class 11 or first-year bachelor’s student, apply through the official portal today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What CGPA is required for a fully funded scholarship from Nepal? It depends on the scholarship. GKS publishes a hard floor of CGPA 2.64 on a 4.00 scale, or 80 percent, or top 20 percent of your class. MEXT asks for 70 percent for natural sciences research students and 60 percent for humanities. Turkiye Burslari asks for 70 percent for undergraduates and 75 percent for master’s and PhD students. Fulbright Nepal asks for 60 percent aggregate or a 3.00 GPA. Chevening, DAAD and Erasmus Mundus publish no CGPA floor, but the universities and committees behind them usually expect around 3.0 to 3.3 in practice.

Can I get a scholarship with a low CGPA, like 2.5? It depends on which scholarship you mean. A CGPA of 2.50 is below the GKS floor of 2.64, so GKS is closed unless your class rank puts you in the top 20 percent. But a CGPA of 2.50 clears the UGC Nepal floor of 2.4, clears the Pokhara University entry floors of 1.8 and 2.0, and corresponds to roughly 62 percent by the usual conversion, which clears the MEXT humanities research floor of 60 percent and the MGSS Class 10 floor of 60 percent. Low CGPA does not mean no scholarship. It means a different list of scholarships.

Is Nepal eligible for Commonwealth Scholarships? No. Nepal is not a member of the Commonwealth, and it does not appear on the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission’s eligible-country lists for Master’s or PhD study, or on the Queen Elizabeth Commonwealth Scholarship’s Asia list. Several Nepali blogs claim otherwise, and they are wrong. Do not apply, and do not pay any agent who offers to secure a Commonwealth Scholarship for a Nepali citizen.

What CGPA do I need for Chevening from Nepal? Chevening publishes no minimum CGPA. You need an undergraduate degree that qualifies you for a UK master’s, typically equivalent to a UK upper second class, or 2:1, honours degree, plus at least 2,800 hours of work experience and a commitment to return to Nepal for two years. In practice, UK universities translate a 2:1 to around CGPA 3.0 to 3.3 for Nepali degrees.

How do I convert my TU percentage into a CGPA? You should not convert it with a formula at all. TU publishes no official conversion formula, and the widely used CGPA multiplied by 25 is an approximation that understates most students: a transcript of all 68 percent courses gives a CGPA of 3.00, not 2.72. Read the grade points off your transcript course by course, multiply by credit hours, add them up, and divide by total credit hours.

Conclusion

Which scholarship is easiest to get from Nepal? The easiest scholarships to win are the ones inside Nepal: the UGC equity scholarships with a floor of C+ or GPA 2.4, the Pokhara University scholarships with entry floors of CGPA 1.8 to 2.0, the Mahatma Gandhi Scholarship with a 60 percent floor in Class 10, and the private-college merit tiers that start at a plus-two CGPA of 3.20. Among the abroad scholarships, the lowest published floors are GKS at 2.64 or 80 percent, MEXT humanities at 60 percent, and Turkiye Burslari undergraduate at 70 percent, but all three are fiercely competitive.

The CGPA you need for a scholarship from Nepal is not one number. It is a table, and the table has three kinds of entries: hard published floors you can plan around, programmes with no published floor where the bar is set by a university or a committee, and widely quoted benchmarks that no official body publishes. GKS gives you the clearest target at 2.64, or 80 percent, or top 20 percent. MEXT gives you Nepal-specific percentage floors through the Kathmandu embassy. Turkiye Burslari gives you hard percentage floors that the application system enforces. Fulbright Nepal gives you 60 percent or 3.00. Australia Awards gives you 65 percent or equivalent. Chevening, DAAD and Erasmus Mundus give you no number at all. CSC gives you a 3.30 benchmark that is useful for planning and wrong to call a rule.

Inside Nepal, the floors are lower and the odds are better: UGC at GPA 2.4, Pokhara at CGPA 1.8 to 2.0 for entry, KU merit maintained at GPA 3.0, MGSS at 60 percent in Class 10, GJSS at 70 percent in Class 12, and private-college fee waivers from a plus-two CGPA of 3.20. A student who applies to both ends of the table, the famous abroad scholarships and the reachable home scholarships, is far more likely to end the year funded than a student who bets everything on a single programme with two places for the country.

Every floor and figure in this guide comes from one of the sources below. Official notices and embassy pages are listed first; secondary guides that summarise official material are listed with that note.

Your next step is a calculation, not a search. Take your transcript, compute your real CGPA with the calculator on the CGPA Calculator Pro homepage, compare it with the floor table at the top of this guide, and work out the average you need in your remaining semesters to reach the next floor. If you are at 3.00, you are already in the game for most scholarships, and your work experience, your English score and your essays matter more than another 0.10 of CGPA. If you are at 2.55, the GKS plan in Example 4 shows you need a 2.79 average. If you are at 2.85, Example 5 shows you can reach 3.00 with a 3.45 average but cannot reach 3.30 at all. Our guide to the CGPA required for MS abroad from Nepal and our Tribhuvan University grading system guide cover the next steps in depth.
