Will I be able to carry my low class 12 marks along with good college CGPA for foreign studies in Ireland for a Master's?

Yes, you can apply for Master's programs abroad with a strong college CGPA, even if your Class 12 marks are lower. Most universities, including those in Ireland, focus mainly on your undergraduate performance and relevant qualifications for admission.
Highlight your high CGPA, work experience, and any additional qualifications in your application. A strong Statement of Purpose (SOP) and Letters of Recommendation (LORs) will also help.
Class 12 marks are considered, but they are not the main criterion for Master's admissions. If you need guidance on strengthening your application, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
