Can I apply for a master's program abroad with my current CGPA and backlogs?
Yes, you can apply for a master's program abroad with your current CGPA (6.5/10) and history of 8 backlogs.
Many universities take a holistic view of your application, considering factors like your academic record, standardized test scores (such as IELTS or GRE), work experience, and your statement of purpose. Having backlogs does not automatically disqualify you, especially if they have been cleared and the rest of your profile is strong.
Admission requirements vary by country and university, so eligibility may depend on the specific programs you target. For competitive or top-ranked universities, higher grades or fewer backlogs may be expected.
If you need help identifying suitable programs or strengthening your application, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
