Yes, most UK universities have a percentage requirement for admission.

- For undergraduate programs, a minimum of 55%-60% in your previous qualifying exams is typically needed.
- For master’s programs, a recognized bachelor’s degree with at least 55%-60% is usually required.
- More competitive universities or courses may require 65% or higher.

Requirements can vary by university and course. Other factors like your statement of purpose, recommendation letters, and English proficiency are also important.
