Since most universities take students with 9 or 9.5 CGPA mostly, how will the criteria work for me in UK for a Master's?

Yes, your 8.1 CGPA in Computer Science is competitive for many UK universities, especially for master's programs. Most UK universities require at least a first-class or upper second-class degree (typically 60 - 65% or above), which your CGPA meets.

Admissions also consider:
- Relevant experience (internships, projects) can strengthen your application.
- English proficiency (such as IELTS) will be required - requirements vary by university.

A higher CGPA is helpful, but your profile aligns with standard entry criteria for many universities. For tailored advice on target universities and next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
