If I want to apply for a BA abroad, is the UK the first country I should consider for a Bachelor's?

Yes, the UK is a strong first choice for a Bachelor of Arts (BA) abroad, given your 80% in 12th grade and plans to take the IELTS.
Most UK universities accept Indian students with your academic background. Typical IELTS requirements are 6.0 - 6.5 overall, with no less than 5.5 in each section. Entry requirements can vary by university and program, so some courses may expect higher scores.
The UK also offers a diverse student community and rich cultural experience, making it a popular destination for undergraduate study.
