It depends, but most universities in the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy review your overall academic record, not just your 10th-grade results.

If your low 10th-grade marks were due to health issues but you performed strongly in later years, admissions committees often take this improvement into account. Providing documentation about your health challenges during exams can help explain your situation.

Highlight your strong academic performance after 10th grade and share any supporting documents with your applications. If you need specific guidance, your LeapScholar counsellor can help you present your case effectively.
