We also accept the following Indian qualifications:

  • ICSE/CBSE Board Standard XII

  • National Institute of Open Schooling

For these we require minimum aggregate scores of 80%, or 70% for the West Bengal Board Standard XII. Other regional board standard XII exams can be considered on an individual basis, but we usually require an aggregate score of at least 85%.

Please contact our India office to know the exact requirement for your programmes.
