What percentage is required to study in Canada?


To study in Canada, the percentage required typically depends on the level of study (undergraduate or postgraduate), the chosen course, and the specific university or college. Here’s a general guideline:

For Undergraduate (Bachelor’s) Programs:


- Universities: Most Canadian universities require a minimum of 70% or above in your Class 12th (higher secondary) exams. However, some competitive programs or top universities may ask for 75-85% or higher.
- Colleges (Diplomas/Advanced Diplomas): Many colleges accept students with 55-60% and above in Class 12th. Some programs may require higher percentages.

For Postgraduate (Master’s or Postgraduate Diploma) Programs:


- Universities (Master’s Degrees): Typically, a minimum of 65% or above in your bachelor’s degree is required. However, competitive programs may ask for 70-75% or above.
- Colleges (Postgraduate Diplomas/Certificates): Usually require a minimum of 55-60% or above in your undergraduate degree.

Important Points:


- English Language Proficiency: In addition to your academic scores, you must meet language requirements like IELTS (usually 6.0–6.5 overall, no band less than 6.0 for universities; some colleges may accept 5.5 in one or two bands).
- Some programs (engineering, health sciences, etc.) may have higher percentage requirements.
- Backlogs: Some colleges/universities allow a limited number of backlogs.

Tips:


- Requirements can vary significantly between institutions and courses.
- If your percentage is on the borderline, you may still have options in certain colleges or through pathway/foundation programs.
