Is it true that some universities provide English test waivers based on 12th grade English marks or medium of instruction in UK/Germany?
Yes, some universities may offer English language test waivers if you have strong 12th-grade English marks or if your previous education was in English.
- UK: Many universities accept high English scores from Indian 12th-grade boards (such as CBSE, ISC, or CISCE) for certain programs. A typical benchmark is 75% or above in English, but requirements vary by university.
- Germany and Singapore: Some institutions may consider your academic English performance or a letter confirming English as your medium of instruction, but policies differ widely.
These waiver criteria are subject to change and vary by university and program. If you want to explore this option, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor for guidance on your target institutions.
