To study in Switzerland as an international student, the required percentage depends on the level of study (Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD), the university, and the specific course you wish to pursue. Here’s a general guideline:

For Bachelor’s Degree:

- Academic Requirement: Most Swiss universities require students to have completed 12 years of schooling (equivalent to a Higher Secondary Certificate/Standard XII in India) with good grades.
- Typical Percentage: A minimum of 60-70% in your 12th standard (or equivalent) is usually expected for admission to public universities. However, highly ranked universities or competitive programs may require higher percentages (75% and above).
- Note: Some universities may require you to take a university entrance exam if your Indian qualification is not deemed fully equivalent.

For Master’s Degree:

- Academic Requirement: You should hold a recognised Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field.
- Typical Percentage: Swiss universities generally expect at least 60-65% aggregate in your Bachelor’s degree. Top universities may require a higher percentage (70%+).
- Additional Requirements: Some programs may require work experience, entrance exams, or an interview.

For PhD:

- Academic Requirement: A relevant Master’s degree with a strong academic record.
- Typical Percentage: Generally, a minimum of 60-65% in your Master’s is required, but higher grades and research experience are preferred for competitive programs.

Language Requirements:

- English-taught programs: IELTS/TOEFL scores are required (IELTS 6.0–7.0 or equivalent is common).
- German/French/Italian-taught programs: Proof of proficiency in the respective language.

Important:
Admission requirements can vary significantly depending on the university and the specific course. Some universities may accept students with slightly lower percentages if they have strong profiles, extracurricular achievements, or relevant work experience.
