Can I add a diploma instead of completing 11th and 12th science for my study abroad eligibility in Australia/New Zealand?

No, a diploma after 10th grade usually does not replace the requirement for completing 11th and 12th (higher secondary) for direct entry into undergraduate programs abroad.

- New Zealand & Australia: Most universities require completion of 11th and 12th grades (or equivalent) for admission.
- UAE: You need a recognized high school certificate, typically including 11th and 12th, for eligibility.

Some universities offer foundation or pathway programs for students without standard 12th-grade qualifications, but these are not guaranteed for every case.
