What are the chances of acceptance given my academic profile, gap, and financial situation in UK for a Bachelor's?

It depends. Your strong academic record (72% in 12th, four-year bachelor’s, no backlogs) and extensive work experience (9 years) are positive factors.

However, UK universities typically accept up to a two-year study gap for undergraduate admissions. A nine-year gap is unusual, but if you clearly explain how your work experience is relevant to your intended course and provide a strong statement of purpose, you can improve your chances.

You must also show proof of sufficient funds for tuition and living expenses, as required by UK universities and visa authorities. Well-prepared financial documents will support your application.
