Will my 12th percentage matter if I want to do a master's since graduation percentage matters a lot for a Postgraduate?

No, your Class 12 percentage is generally not important for master's admissions. Universities mainly consider your undergraduate marks, entrance exam scores, and relevant work experience.

Some institutions may look at Class 12 marks in rare cases, such as tie-breakers, but this is not common. With your strong postgraduate grades (67%) and significant work experience, your undergraduate and professional background will matter most.

Focus on highlighting your work experience, preparing for required exams, and writing a strong statement of purpose. If you need help with your application, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
