What is the marks or percentage criteria for admission to undergraduate courses abroad, especially the minimum percentage required in UK/Australia?
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%.

Specific requirements vary by institution and are subject to change.
