It may be challenging to meet direct entry criteria or qualify for most scholarships at UK universities with a 57% in 12th grade, as many institutions require higher grades for undergraduate admission and merit-based awards.

- Direct entry: Most universities expect higher academic scores for direct undergraduate entry.
- Foundation/pathway programs: Some universities offer foundation years or pathway programs for students who do not meet standard entry requirements. Completing these can lead to a full degree.
- Scholarships: Merit-based scholarships usually require higher grades (often AAB or above). Need-based bursaries may be available, depending on your financial situation.
