<p><strong><span class="bold">Dear Madam,</span></strong></p>.<p><strong><span class="bold">I have completed Automobile Engineering with a good percentage and am currently working in a core MNC.

Also, give details of the scholarships I can apply for and the options available if I fail to land a job in the UK.</span></strong></p>.<p><strong>Rishi</strong></p>.<p>Dear Rishi,</p>.<p>The only exam you need to take to go to the universities you have listed out is the IELTS which is a simple English language test. As an international student, you will be eligible for a student visa only if you pursue a full-time course. University scholarships will be available to all applicants based on your GPA and other credentials. Prepare an interesting resume highlighting your achievements in academics, sports and extracurriculars. Write a clear statement of purpose explaining your career goals. You would have to write an additional essay for scholarships. You could also apply to external agencies here in India for scholarships. At the moment, chances of landing a job in the UK is pretty low. You could find jobs in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.</p>.<p><strong><span class="bold">Dear Madam,</span></strong></p>.<p><strong><span class="bold">I am a final year student in Information Science and Engineering.
