Yes, you can get admission abroad with a CGPA slightly above 6.5. Many universities consider your overall profile, not just your grades.

A CGPA of 6.5 - 7.0 is generally acceptable for postgraduate programs in countries like the UK, Ireland, and Canada, though top universities may expect higher. Strong standardized test scores, relevant work experience, a compelling statement of purpose, and strong letters of recommendation can further strengthen your application.

Some universities also offer pathway or conditional admission options for students with lower CGPAs. For tailored guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
