Hey Kushbu:)

Thanks for reaching out!

Eligibility depends on specific scholarships,some have strict CGPA cutoffs,while others look at your overall profile including your income and achievements.

With a CGP of 7.65 and belonging to the general category,you may be eligible for merit-cum-need or need-based scholarships if your family income falls within the required limit.The eligibility criteria for merit scholarships at top and prestigious institutions usually have higher CGPA cutoffs,so you may not be eligible for pure-merit-based scholarships.however since 7.65 CGP is a decent score,you may have chances in smaller institutions where the cut-offs are relatively lower.

Tip:

Always check the specific criteria of scholarships and apply widely and don't miss out on opportunities you maybe eligible for
