Can Indian students with engineering or CS background apply for all these scholarships?

Most scholarships are open to all disciplines. The key exception is the Inlaks Shivdasani Scholarship, which explicitly excludes Engineering, CS, MBA, and Medicine. All other scholarships listed here β€” Fulbright-Nehru, Chevening, MEXT, DAAD, Erasmus Mundus, Gates Cambridge, and Rhodes β€” are open to engineers and tech graduates.

What is the easiest international scholarship to get for Indian students?

No fully funded international scholarship is "easy" β€” all are highly competitive. However, MEXT (Japan) and Erasmus Mundus are relatively less saturated for Indian applicants compared to Chevening or Fulbright-Nehru. Erasmus Mundus has 200+ individual programmes, many of which have lower Indian applicant volumes.

Do these international scholarships need IELTS or TOEFL?

Most do. Chevening, Commonwealth, Gates Cambridge, Rhodes, and Inlaks all require IELTS 6.5+ or equivalent. MEXT (Japan) does not require Japanese language at application time. Some Erasmus Mundus programmes waive IELTS if your undergraduate medium of instruction was English.
