To study in the UK, the percentage required depends on the level of study (undergraduate or postgraduate), your chosen course, and the university’s specific requirements. Here’s a general overview:

Undergraduate (Bachelor’s) Degrees:

- Minimum Percentage: Most UK universities require at least 60% in your Class 12th (HSC) from a recognized board.
- Top Universities (e.g., University of Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, Imperial): May require 85% or above in relevant subjects.
- Foundation Courses: For students with 50-55%, foundation or pathway programs are available, which can lead to direct entry into the first year after completion.

Postgraduate (Master’s) Degrees:

- Minimum Percentage: Generally, UK universities require at least 55-60% in your undergraduate degree (equivalent to a UK second class or upper second class).
- Higher-ranked Universities: May require 65% or above.

Additional Points:

- English Language Proficiency: In addition to academic percentage, you’ll need a qualifying IELTS, TOEFL, or equivalent score.
- Course-specific Requirements: Some courses (like Medicine, Law, Engineering) may have higher academic thresholds or require specific subjects.
