From 2024\/25, UBC&#8217;s Vancouver figures include post-baccalaureate programs and some diplomas and certificates that were not counted before, so part of the jump from 56% to 68% is a counting change. Second, the international applicant pool fell 6% at Vancouver and 10% at Okanagan in 2025\/26, which raises the admit rate without making any single degree easier. With a yield near 30%, about seven in ten international applicants who receive an offer do not register.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Is UBC hard to get into for Indian students?<\/strong> The average entering range across all academic courses was <a href=\"https:\/\/pair.ok.ubc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2026\/03\/UBC-Annual-Enrolment-Report-2025-26.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/pair.ok.ubc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/145\/2026\/03\/UBC-Annual-Enrolment-Report-2025-26.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">89-91% at Vancouver and 85-87% at Okanagan<\/a>, and UBC estimates about 13% of admitted applicants would not have been admitted on grades alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Treat Okanagan as a real option, not a fallback. Its international admit rate is higher, and its entering range is lower, but it offers fewer degrees, so check that your program exists there before you rank it.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_UBC_Decides_the_UBC_Acceptance_Rate_for_Indian_Students_Grades_Personal_Profile_and_Offers\"><\/span><strong>How UBC Decides the UBC Acceptance Rate for Indian Students: Grades, Personal Profile, and Offers<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UBC states that its process is <a href=\"https:\/\/you.ubc.ca\/applying-ubc\/application-evaluation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/you.ubc.ca\/applying-ubc\/application-evaluation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">competitive and comparative, so your application is evaluated against every other application for the same degree<\/a>. It reads your grades in all Grade 11 and Grade 12 academic classes, pays extra attention to courses linked to your degree, and excludes your lowest grade unless that course is a degree requirement. It also looks at whether you chose challenging courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The personal profile adds a second layer. UBC scored over 41,500 personal profiles in 2025\/26, read by close to 300 trained readers. The Sauder commerce application adds a video interview to its profile. Admissions decisions for high school applicants are made <a href=\"https:\/\/you.ubc.ca\/applying-ubc\/dates-deadlines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/you.ubc.ca\/applying-ubc\/dates-deadlines\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on a continuous basis from November 2026 to June 2027<\/a>, and you may rank two programs, on one or both campuses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Use the second program choice deliberately. A closely related degree on the other campus protects you if your first choice is full, and UBC lets you rank both in a single application.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"UBC_Acceptance_Rate_for_Indian_Students_by_Program_Engineering_Computer_Science_and_Commerce\"><\/span><strong>UBC Acceptance Rate for Indian Students by Program: Engineering, Computer Science, and Commerce<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UBC does not publish program-level admit rates that we could find, so the <strong>UBC acceptance rate for engineering for Indian students<\/strong> and the <strong>UBC computer science acceptance rate for international students<\/strong> cannot be quoted honestly. What UBC does publish is how it judges applicants to these degrees. Engineering applicants enter Applied Science, which is among the most expensive first-year international degrees. Computer Science sits in its own degree stream, and the <strong>UBC Sauder commerce acceptance rate for international students<\/strong> depends on the personal profile and video interview as well as grades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">UBC\u2019s entering range of 89-91% is an outcome across admitted students, not a stated minimum.\u201d plus the same editor note<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>See the<\/em> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/best-engineering-universities-in-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/em><em><u><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/best-engineering-universities-in-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">best engineering universities in Canada<\/a><\/u><\/em> <em>and<\/em> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/study-computer-science-in-canada-eligibility-fees-process-for-indian-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/em><em><u><a href=\"https:\/\/leapscholar.com\/blog\/study-computer-science-in-canada-eligibility-fees-process-for-indian-students\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">computer science in Canada<\/a><\/u><\/em><em>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Counselor insight:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Read the degree-specific requirement before the average.

Okanagan&#8217;s international rate was 31%.

It reports admit rates for international applicants by campus, which were 71% for undergraduates at Vancouver and 82% at Okanagan in 2025\/26. Those figures average every country, so they describe the pool, not your own chances in a specific degree.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1792767321303\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is the UBC acceptance rate for international students?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For undergraduates in 2025\/26, UBC reported a 71% international admit rate at Vancouver and 82% at Okanagan. For master&#8217;s and doctoral programs, the Vancouver international rate was 25%. These count offers to preferred programs against completed applications, and 2024\/25 onward includes some programs not counted before.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1792767332257\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>Is UBC hard to get into for Indian students?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Difficulty depends on the degree. UBC compares you with everyone applying to the same degree, and the average entering range was 89-91% at Vancouver in 2025\/26. Engineering and Commerce add degree-specific requirements, and for Commerce, a video interview, so a strong average does not guarantee an offer.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1792767342163\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is the UBC acceptance rate for engineering for Indian students?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Engineering-specific rates are not published that we could find. Engineering applicants apply to Applied Science, where 2026\/27 international first-year tuition is C$66,199.66. UBC evaluates all academic grades with extra weight on relevant courses, so check the degree&#8217;s subject requirements for your board.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1792767355482\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is the UBC computer science acceptance rate for international students?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>UBC does not publish a computer science rate. Computer Science is a separate degree with 2026\/27 international first-year tuition of C$53,082. You are compared with other applicants to that degree, so strong mathematics grades and a clear personal profile matter more than the university average.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1792767370107\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is the UBC Sauder commerce acceptance rate for international students?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Sauder does not publish an international rate we could find. Applicants complete the personal profile, which for Commerce includes short essays and a video interview, alongside grades. Tuition for 2026\/27 is C$66,678.30 for the first-year load, so plan the profile and the budget together.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"faq-question-1792767381612\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h5 class=\"rank-math-question \"><strong>What is the UBC acceptance rate for masters for Indian students?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The Vancouver international graduate admit rate was 25% in 2025\/26, up from 14% in 2021\/22, against 40% for domestic applicants.

That does not make every degree easier, since Okanagan offers fewer programs.
