Check the exact course and institution conditions rather than relying on the subject name alone. The programme listing excludes children of Kotak Mahindra Group, Kotak Education Foundation and Buddy4Study employees.

Plan the application around evidence

Start with the admission record and current fee structure. Compare the name and marks shown on your school documents with those entered in the form. Use the programme’s own checklist for income evidence and any entrance-examination or institution documents it requests.

Keep a private copy of everything submitted and note the acknowledgement details. If the form asks about circumstances requiring explanation, use specific, truthful information. Avoid sending identity or financial documents to an intermediary who merely claims to be associated with the scholarship.

Understand the award

The headline amount is an upper limit, not an automatic payment to every applicant. Review the award letter for eligible expenses, payment conditions and renewal. Until selection is confirmed, keep a separate plan for admission and fee deadlines.
