Could you please check and confirm the profile I shared for a master's in UAE?
It depends. Your 54% in 12th grade, 5.5/10 GPA in Computer Science (bachelor's) with 9 backlogs, and 121 months of work experience present both challenges and strengths for master's admission in the UAE.
- Academic eligibility: Most UAE universities require a minimum 3.0/4.0 GPA for master's admission. Your GPA is below this typical threshold, and 9 backlogs may further impact eligibility.
- Work experience: Over 10 years of experience is a strong point and may help, especially if relevant to your intended field.
- English proficiency: Most universities require IELTS or TOEFL. Some may offer conditional admission, but this rarely offsets low academic scores.
Some universities may consider applicants with lower GPAs if you meet other criteria or complete additional coursework. Consider targeting institutions with flexible admission policies or exploring diploma/certificate pathways to strengthen your profile.
