It depends. Your 60% in Medical Science and 7 months of work experience may meet minimum entry requirements for some postgraduate programs in Ireland and other countries, but eligibility varies by university and course.

- Ireland: Many universities require at least a Second Class Honours (often around 60%) in a relevant field. Some programs may expect more work experience than 7 months.
- Other countries: The UK often accepts 60% for relevant master's programs, while the US typically looks for a GPA of 3.0/4.0 (about 60%). Requirements differ by institution.

Work experience and English language test scores (like IELTS) are also important.

Yes, your profile is strong for master's applications in the UK and Ireland.

- Academic performance: Your 8.7 CGPA in BBA and 93% in 12th grade are both excellent. - Gap years: A six-year gap after graduation may raise questions, but many universities consider applicants who clearly explain their gap period with relevant activities, learning, or personal growth. - English proficiency: Most universities require an IELTS score (typically 6.5 - 7.0 overall, with no band below 6.0). You’ll need to take the test before applying.

Address your gap years thoughtfully in your application and plan to take the IELTS soon.
