Are there any issues with having 74% in my highest qualification for applying to public universities abroad in Germany for a Postgraduate?

It depends. A 74% in your highest qualification can be enough for public university applications abroad, but requirements vary by country, university, and program.

- Germany: For undergraduate admissions, the minimum is typically 70% (effective March 2026), but competitive programs may need 75 - 80% or higher.
- Postgraduate programs: Many universities require a minimum CGPA of 6.5 - 7.0/10, with top programs often needing 8.0+.

Some universities may also consider your work experience, standardized test scores, and language proficiency. Requirements are subject to change.
