Do Irish computing programmes accept 60 percent from an Indian bachelors?
13 Aug 2026 · Answered by Soundarya M · 2 min read
Yes, your 60 percent score is generally welcomed by Irish computing masters programmes, since it equates to an Upper Second Class Honours degree in the Irish system, the standard minimum for most technical MSc courses. Your exact options still depend on your Indian university's tier and your undergraduate degree length.
University Eligibility at 60 Percent
| University Type | What You Need to Know |
|---|---|
| Technological universities (TU Dublin, NCI) | Openly accept 60 percent for Data Analytics, AI, and Cybersecurity; NCI even offers a EUR 3,000 merit scholarship at this score |
| Traditional universities (Trinity, UCD) | Strong chance if your 60 percent comes from a Tier 1 college like an IIT or NIT; Tier 2/3 colleges may face a 65 to 70 percent benchmark instead |
Prerequisites Beyond the Percentage
- A 4-year B.Tech or B.E. is universally accepted; 3-year degrees like a B.Sc. or BCA may need work experience or a postgraduate diploma for Trinity or UCD.
- Keep your total historical backlogs under the usual cap of 5 to 7.
- Show a strong programming and data structures foundation, plus IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band below 6.0.
My Advice
If your degree is from a Tier 2 or 3 college, apply to TU Dublin and NCI as your primary targets and only add Trinity or UCD as a stretch option. Build a short portfolio of coding projects to back up your transcript, since Irish universities value demonstrated technical ability alongside your percentage.
