Enter your basic profile below to get a general eligibility guidance result. This tool is designed for initial planning only and does not replace the official requirements of a university, programme or immigration authority.
1. Academic Eligibility
Academic eligibility depends on your study level, previous qualification, percentage or grades, chosen programme and university.
- Undergraduate applicants normally need a recognised Class 12 qualification.
- Master's applicants generally need a recognised bachelor's degree.
- MBA requirements can include academic qualifications and, for some programmes, work experience.
- Research programmes can have additional academic and research requirements.
2. IELTS / PTE & English-Language Eligibility
English-language requirements vary by country, university, course and study level. IELTS and PTE are commonly used tests, but institutions may also accept other approved tests.
IELTS
IELTS Academic scores are commonly considered for university admission. The required overall score and individual section scores can differ between programmes.
PTE
PTE Academic is accepted by many universities and institutions. Required scores vary according to the programme and institution.
3. Backlogs
Having backlogs does not automatically mean that you cannot study abroad. Universities may consider the number of backlogs, academic history, final qualification and programme requirements.
If you have backlogs, prepare your academic documents carefully and check the specific admission policy before applying.
4. Study Gap
A study or career gap may be acceptable depending on the institution, programme and circumstances. Applicants should be prepared to explain what they did during the gap.
- Employment
- Professional training
- Business or self-employment
- Further education
- Personal circumstances where relevant
5. Financial Eligibility
Admission eligibility and visa financial requirements are different. Students should plan for tuition fees, living expenses, travel, insurance, visa-related costs and other expenses.
Financial evidence requirements can change and may differ by destination and visa category.
6. Admission Eligibility vs Student Visa Eligibility
Getting admission to a university and receiving a student visa are separate processes.
A university evaluates academic and programme-specific admission requirements, while immigration authorities assess visa requirements according to the applicable rules.
