Five A1 grades is the stated minimum; the competitive reality is that all five must align with your course, and Indian applicants just at the threshold rarely progress past initial screening.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1781706955110\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Is TOEFL accepted at Cambridge University in 2026?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>TOEFL iBT taken after January 21, 2026, may not meet Cambridge University requirements for entry. Cambridge has officially indicated this on its postgraduate admissions page.

The overall acceptance rate is 21.4%. For international students, it falls to 15.4%. For Indian undergraduate applicants, it sits at approximately 2%\u20134%, making it one of the most selective processes available to Indian students globally.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1781707034435\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Can I get into Cambridge University with only my Class 12 marks from India?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No. Cambridge does not accept Class 12 results from any Indian board as a standalone qualification. You must also provide A-Levels, an IB Diploma, AP scores (five tests at score 5), or at least one year of undergraduate study at a recognized Indian institution.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1781707055115\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is the UCAS deadline for Cambridge University?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>October 15, annually.

International students pay both a university tuition fee and a college fee. UG combined fees range from approximately \u00a340,500 to \u00a385,500 (Rs.51,37,230\u2013Rs.1,08,43,110) per year by subject and college, plus \u00a31,305 (Rs.1,65,500) per month in living costs.

Use the year to strengthen your supplemental qualification or resit your admissions test where permitted.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1781707115044\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What admissions tests are required to get into Cambridge University?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>To get into Cambridge University, the required test depends on your course: UCAT for Medicine, ESAT for Engineering and Natural Sciences, TMUA for Computer Science and Economics, LNAT for Law, and STEP 2 and STEP 3 for Mathematics. ESAT, UCAT, and TMUA registration open in September and close before the October 15 UCAS deadline.
