Is a bachelor's degree enough qualification for applying to study abroad without having completed twelfth grade?

Yes, a completed bachelor's degree is generally enough to apply for master's programs abroad, even if you did not complete 12th grade.
Most universities focus on your highest qualification - your bachelor's degree - when assessing eligibility for postgraduate admissions. The completion of 12th grade is not typically required if you already hold a recognized bachelor's degree.
