Will UK universities accept my CBSE plus-two certificate for UG admission?

Yes, UK universities typically recognise the CBSE plus-two certificate for UG admission. Premier universities used to require 13 years of pre-university education, but that rule was recently changed.

Other Points to Check
- Course-specific marks and subject requirements still vary by university.
- TOEFL or IELTS may be waived by a university, but they matter for the visa.
- Check the official university page for your course before you apply.
My Advice
Confirm acceptance with each university's international admissions page, since a general rule does not guarantee entry. Keep your marksheets and certificate ready for submission.
