Minimum percentage requirements for undergraduate courses abroad vary by country and university, but here are typical guidelines:

- UK: Most universities require at least 60% in Class 12; top programs may need 70%+.
- USA: Many universities look for 60 - 65%; top institutions may expect 75 - 80%.
- Canada: Usually 65 - 70%; competitive programs may need 75 - 80%.
- Australia: Typically 60 - 65%; top universities often require 70 - 75%.
- Germany: As of March 2026, a minimum of 70% is required.
- France: Generally 60 - 70%; competitive programs may need 70 - 75%.
- Italy/Czech Republic: Some universities accept as low as 50%, but top programs may need 60 - 70%.

Requirements can be higher for competitive or subject-specific programs. If your marks are below these thresholds, foundation or pathway programs may be an option. English proficiency tests like IELTS or TOEFL are also usually required.

Specific requirements vary by institution and are subject to change.
