Does the English waiver apply if I completed my twelfth grade more than five years ago in UK?
It depends. Most UK universities require that your 12th-grade English qualification be completed within the last five years to qualify for an English language waiver.
Since you completed 12th grade more than five years ago, you likely will not meet the recentness criteria at many universities. In this case, you may need to provide alternative proof of English proficiency, such as a recent IELTS or TOEFL score, or a Medium of Instruction (MOI) letter confirming your previous degree was taught in English - if accepted by the university.
