Enter your profile and see your eligibility for studying abroad in the USA, UK, Germany and France — including minimum requirements, gaps to fill, and your best-fit destination.
The eligibility requirements to study abroad vary significantly by country and program. Here are the typical minimum requirements for Indian students:
Most US universities require a minimum GPA of 3.0/4.0 (approximately 75% or 7.5 CGPA), TOEFL 80+ or IELTS 6.5+, and GRE 300+ for competitive programs. Top-50 programs typically expect GRE 315+ and CGPA 7.5+. The USA has no central application system — each university has its own deadlines and requirements.
UK universities generally require a minimum 2:1 equivalent (approximately 60% or 6.0 CGPA), IELTS 6.5+ (7.0 for Russell Group), and no GRE requirement. The application is submitted via UCAS for undergraduate and directly to universities for postgraduate programs.
German public universities (free tuition for most programs) require a minimum of 60-65% in your bachelor's and IELTS 6.0+ or DSH certificate for German-taught programs. The blocked account (Sperrkonto) of €11,208 is required for the visa. German universities evaluate Indian grades more strictly than US or UK institutions.
French Grandes Écoles and universities require IELTS 6.0+ (6.5 for top programs), approximately 65% in bachelor's, and completion of the CampusFrance procedure (mandatory for Indian students). The PSW visa allows 24 months of work after graduation. France is particularly popular for MBA and MIM programs.
Yes. A 6.0 CGPA (60%) is sufficient for many programs in Germany, France and Canada. Germany has public universities with free tuition that accept 60%+ grades for many engineering and science programs. In France, some universities accept 60%+ with IELTS 6.0. For USA and UK top programs, a 6.0 CGPA will limit you to mid-ranked programs — but a strong GRE, work experience and SOP can compensate.
