What are my chances of securing this scholarship and I know nothing about these, like stipend duration and any bond etc. Jahanzeb could you spare a few minutes and guide me please? And is it necessary to get enrolled in any MS program to avail this scholarship?[/QUOTE]
You score is good. Your selection depend on this year's merit. It is not compulsory to have admission as it is not mentioned in the advertisement. HEC will give you time to get enrolled.
For MS leading to PhD your stipend duration will be 5 years and during MS you will get 10,000/month while during PhD you will get 13,000/month.

dear Adnanengr,
Please search the meaning of Indigenous than you will not ask questions like getting admission in universities abroad.
for foreign scholarship HEC has already announced two scholarships. one is 90% overseas scholarship, Other is faculty development for UEST
faculty development for UEST which is actually for engineers was announced in April 2013 and many people having score 65+ got final selection for Korea and Turkey.

will the GAT score be included in final totals while preparing merit?

In which universities students will be get enrolled it will be on choice or it will be the decision of HEC

and what will be the merit for Balochistan for Scholarship

Have you applied in Nust???

From where can I obtain the list of engineering universities this program covers?

I have scored 70 in GAT general but my cgpa was 2.2 in my engineering education. I want to know about my chances in getting admission in business education.
Secondly, can anybody confirm/re-confirm that merit is based solely on GAT score?
Also, can anybody provide the link to the list of eligible universities covered by this scholarship?

Yes I've applied in NUST and also PIEAS. While I have some hopes from NUST I have little from PIEAS as the test went poor. Anyway I'm only interested in these two universities but the stipend is not attractive. Even if selected its five long years in poor pay and then again I'll be a fresh PhD overage to apply for any trainee programs. Working in academia for the rest of my life doesn't attract me very much although I'm aware that competition is getting tougher. You have any ideas where fresh PhDs can be inducted in any industry?
