Hema A · Accepted Answer

Yes, your profile &mdash; BITS Pilani graduate, 2 years at KPMG, and a 710 GMAT &mdash; makes you a strong contender for the LBS India Scholarship. This award is designed for Indian nationals with exceptional academic backgrounds and early leadership potential. Most recipients have GMAT scores between 700 and 740 and come from top institutions like IITs, BITS, or SRCC, combined with experience at global firms.
Since you&rsquo;re from finance, highlight measurable achievements at KPMG &mdash; like managing audits, financial analysis, or client-facing projects &mdash; to demonstrate leadership and impact. The scholarship typically offers &pound;20,000&ndash;&pound;30,000, and applicants are automatically considered during MBA admissions.
Applying in Round 1 or Round 2, and showing clear post-MBA goals tied to leadership or economic growth in India, will further strengthen your case.
