Will my low academic percentages (57% in graduation and 12% in twelfth) affect my eligibility for admission for a Master's?
It depends. Your academic scores - 57% in graduation and 56% in 12th grade - may limit your eligibility for some German master's programs, as many require higher grades (often equivalent to a German grade of 2.5 or better, which is about 70% on a 100% scale). With your grades likely converting to a German grade around 3.0, you may not meet the minimum for certain universities.
However, your 36 months of work experience in life sciences can strengthen your application, and some universities consider professional background, motivation letters, and recommendations alongside academics.
Admission criteria vary by program and university. For personalized guidance on your options, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
