Yes, with a CGPA of 8.6 and no backlogs, you are generally eligible to apply for master's programs in mathematics or statistics in the UK, Singapore, and the USA.

Eligibility can vary by university and program, but most require:
- Minimum CGPA or class: Your 8.6 CGPA (typically upper second-class or equivalent) meets the usual academic threshold.
- Relevant background: Some programs may expect a strong foundation in mathematics or statistics, especially if your degree is not directly in these fields.
- English proficiency: You will need to meet IELTS or TOEFL requirements; minimum scores depend on the university.
