Regarding GPA
Hey everyone, I'm a Grade 12 student from Nepal finishing my NEB board exams. Planning to apply for Stipendium Hungaricum 2027 for a Bachelor's in Robotics/Mechatronics Engineering.
My GPA is around 3.10 out of 4.0 — but important context: on Nepal's NEB grading system, the minimum passing grade is 1.6, so 3.10 is solidly above average, not a low score.
A few things I have on my profile outside academics:
- Google Cloud Legend (80+ badges, 93k+ points)
- Built multiple web projects including a Three.js 3D solar system
- Coursera certifications
- Scout volunteering certificates
My questions:
Does SH committee actually look hard at GPA or is the motivation letter + profile more important?
Has anyone with a similar GPA from a South/Southeast Asian country gotten accepted?
For Nepal specifically — does anyone know how competitive the quota is?
Any insight from people who've been through the process would really help. Thanks
