Yes, most UK master's scholarships consider your IELTS score and bachelor's degree marks. Twelfth percentage is usually less important for postgraduate scholarships.

- IELTS score: A minimum overall score of 6.5 (with no band below 5.5) is typically required.
- Bachelor's marks: Scholarships often require a strong academic record, usually equivalent to a UK upper second-class (2:1) honours degree.
- Twelfth percentage: Not a primary factor for master's scholarships, but may be reviewed for overall academic consistency.

Requirements vary by scholarship and university, so always check the specific criteria. If you need help identifying scholarships that match your profile, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
