What are the minimum academic requirements (like percentage or CGPA) to apply for top universities such as the National University of Singapore for a Bachelor's?
14 Aug 2026 · Answered by Swathi Boppana · 1 min read
A competitive application to top universities like the National University of Singapore (NUS) usually requires a CGPA of 7.5 - 8.0 out of 10 (or equivalent) in your bachelor’s degree. There is no strict universal minimum, but most programs expect at least this level.
Admission is highly competitive and also considers your work experience, statement of purpose, and English proficiency. Meeting the minimum CGPA does not guarantee admission, but aiming for 7.5 - 8.0 CGPA will strengthen your profile.
