What percentage is required in the initial tests if I have arrears but have passed out, and can I join directly with those results in UK for a Master's?
Yes, you can apply for a Master's in the UK if you had arrears (backlogs) but have cleared them and graduated. Most UK universities focus on your final degree percentage and overall academic performance, not the number of past arrears, as long as they are resolved.
- Top universities typically require at least 70% in your undergraduate degree.
- Mid-tier universities often accept 60% or above.
You will need to provide a backlog certificate showing all arrears have been cleared. Admission is based on your final results, not initial test scores or pending arrears.
If you need help preparing your application documents, contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
