It depends. Your academic background is strong overall, but there are a few factors to consider for master's admission in Ireland:

- 12th grade: 55% is below the typical minimum (often 60%), but most Irish universities focus more on your undergraduate performance.
- Undergraduate degree: 7.7/10 is good, but having 5 backlogs may be a concern. Some universities are flexible, but many prefer applicants with few or no backlogs.
- IELTS: You may be eligible for an IELTS waiver if your previous degree was taught in English, but this varies by university and is subject to change.

Strengthen your application by clearing any remaining backlogs and preparing a strong Statement of Purpose and Letters of Recommendation.
