I am applying for PhD scholarship. i want to know that, is it acceptable to get recommendation letter from an assistant professor ? or I should get recommendation letter from professor only ?
Applying for PhD needs recommendation letters from Associate Professor or Full Professor Only. Assistant Professor letter is not accepted for PhD.
1.the CSC official websites link is down from many many days…wat to be done?
2.verification link of registration doesnt appear even with hotmail or outlook let alone gmail or yahoo…wch domain should exactly be used ?
3.what is suitable? to select a university with high ranking? or the uni with normal or low ranking?wch is more useful?
4.should students of other departments of medical like physical therapy or pharmacy should go for these scholarships or its not recommended?
5. number of scholarships given to international students U.G or P.G by each uni annually matters or not? more international students number gives more chance ???
6.by what date of april exactly one should submit the documents?
plz reply
1. Keep trying you have time.
2. you can try hotmail and yahoo preferably. AS Gmail sometime have issues.
3. Try to select low ranking universities. That will increase chances to get accepted. All the 300 plus universities where there are scholarships are way better than 99% percent Pakistani Universities.
4. These are not for MBBS based students but at master and PhD level they can go for it. The degrees are fine from Chinese Universities. Only the issue with Many young girls and boys taking admission universities open by other nationals as business universities those students are never able to pass test. As in-spite of studying MBBS from books they try to practical on their bodies how to get pregnant and how to get abortion in first year and then usage of condoms and sleep around etc. They just waste their parents money. 95% of them are like this at that level so becareful for that those degrees are not acceptable without passing test in Pakistan. But MS And PhD level what you talked is acceptable and valid and with mostly proper hard work and study.
5. There are mostly 100 Plus scholarships in each university under CSC. Only 10 to 20 are for Masters students so other 80 to 90 are for PhD students. Some universities where there are English Master Program like Beijing Normal university there are 30 separate scholarships only for the Master Students.
6. Most universities deadline are starting from 31 march to 30 April. You have to send the documents hard copies also after applying. So its better to apply till 20th march and send documents. So that they can reach the university on time. But you may check university website Foreign Office or International students page to see exact dates.

Hi ,please i have seen agencies which claim they have scholarship seats from chinese universities .is that really true ?NB they ask for money ,and I am worrying about it .
Chinese universities dont give any seats to agencies. These agencies works as independent consultants and if you apply through them take risk on your own will and be careful they can be real or fake. best of luck.

Chinese universities dont give seats to the agencies. These agencies work as paid consultants and they can be real or can be fraud so apply through them at your own risk. Better to apply by yourself.
