Hi Everyone...
I,m nithin , 23 yrs old , indian

Am i eligible for British citizenship , if my grandfather has British nationality , my father couldn't get nationality because he was born before grandfather(father) gets British nationality ?

Grandfather was born in india - 1904
Got nationality in uk ( 1964).
My father was born in Singapore (1955).
Has Indian nationality

Thanks

Not directly, but I think you can, have a look at the requirements for Ancestry Visa;

You can apply for a UK Ancestry visa if you:

are a Commonwealth citizen
are applying from outside the UK
are able to prove that one of your grandparents was born in the UK
are able and planning to work in the UK
meet the other eligibility requirements

Having reread forget that, I don't think you can apply full stop.

As one of my friends gets right of abode , having the same situation as above .

And my friend applied for ROA by below statement

A CITIZEN OR THE UK AND COLONIES AT BIRTH AND

WITH A GRANDPARENT BORN, REGISTERED,

NATURALISED OR ADOPTED IN THE UK

---
and he qualify for the second most part only ( WITH A GRANDPARENT REGISTERED IN UK)

Thanks

Not really my area but see;

You may have right of abode in the UK either because of your parents or because you are or were married to someone with right of abode.

Parents
You have right of abode if all the following apply:

One of your parents was born in the UK and a citizen of the United Kingdom and colonies when you were born or adopted

You were a Commonwealth citizen on 31 December 1982

You didn’t stop being a Commonwealth citizen (even temporarily) at any point after 31 December 1982

Thanks for the reply.. Wanderer !
