• - Offer customized guidance to outstanding students over the next 6 months, helping them prepare thoroughly for the upcoming GKS application.

Before applying, please refer to last year’s GKS announcement to check if you meet the eligibility criteria. We cannot respond to applicants who do not meet the basic requirements.

Please check the attached [x-x-x-x-x-documents] carefully for detailed eligibility and other important information.

• 
  

• - High school CGPA of 80% or higher
