FAQ's

Q: How important is it that my long-term plans should involve coming back to India?
A: There is no compulsion to state that you wish to come back to India, though there should certainly be focus on leadership and social impact as the Rhodes Scholarships have as their mission facilitating the journeys of ‘leaders of the world’s future’. You could make this impact while teaching in a university in India, or equally by litigating at the International Criminal Court in Hague.

Q: Will I be required to submit any test scores at the time of applying for the Scholarship, such as English proficiency test results or GRE scores?
A: The Rhodes Scholarship application process does not require the candidate to pass any qualifying exams (GRE, Subject GREs, etc.) or language proficiency exams (TOEFL, IELTS, etc.) but the specific course that you are applying to may do so. Since your application for your chosen course at the University of Oxford is to be submitted after scholarship results are released, there is no need to submit any test scores along with the Rhodes Scholarship application.
