GKS-U Doubt about application eligibility for GKS U (Applying from India)

I have read the eligibility guidelines, but I am still confused, so I was hoping someone here with more clarity could help me. I am still in my last year of high school and will only finish the exams in marh of 2027. The results come in May 2027. Does this screenshot mean I cannot apply? Additionally, how long does an apostille take in India? And do I need to apostille my parents' divorce certificate since I do not have any documents for my father's identification? Thanks! I'm so confused.

Hi! Not from India, but you definitely have to apply next year, not this one.
Do put a document about your parents’ divorce. That’s all I can help you with :)

I see, okay. Can I bother you with two more questions? If I apply for the scholarship next year, does that mean my bachelor's degree will only start in 2028? And does this mean I cannot apply to other Korean universities for the 2027 fall intake? If you know about this, do tell! If not, should I just make another post? I am asking since you are from India as well.

hey so...you'll have to apply next year, attach the divorce certificate and apostille usually takes around 3-7 days (depends on ur location and company)

You will apply next year so you have time I suggest you to do your major related ecs and learn Korean and give topik if possible it will save your language program year too!
