If my final CGPA result comes down slightly after declaration, will I still be eligible for admission in UK/Australia for a Master's?

Yes, with your current CGPA of 8.5, a slight decrease is unlikely to affect your eligibility for master's admissions in the UK or Australia. Most universities require a CGPA well below your current score, so a minor drop should not disqualify you.

However, each university and program may have its own minimum CGPA requirement, which is subject to change. Some may also consider other factors like work experience or test scores.

If you have concerns about a significant drop, share your final CGPA with your LeapScholar counsellor for specific guidance on your target universities.
