Due to personal reasons, I'll only score around 65-70% in 12th boards, is there any hope for me to make it through the interview round?

    The stigma associated with IPM being associated with high scoring individuals is incorrect. Even though you may have a relatively low boards score, it is not a parameter to reject you as a candidate for the course, as far as it is above the minimum requirement for qualification. In the interview board, the score must not be a major topic of discussion, but serious questions regarding the low score can be brought up, where you need to have a good justification for the same.

    Hi Amaan,
    Yes, there is still hope to get a call if your overall academics is better than the other candidates and even more if you belong to a reserved category.
    Hope that helps.
    All the best!

Yes, it should not be hard for you to get admission to the University of Western Australia as an Indian student with 50% in class 12th. However, please note that it does not put you in the top applicants either. The general admission percentage requirement for international students is 50 to 65%.

Look at the other admission requirements - 

  • English proficiency tests with IELTS (bands 6.5) or TOEFL iBT (82+)
  • High school Diploma from a recognised board like CBSE or ICSE etc. 
  • Some course-specific subjects for Engineering programs

Countries like Germany and Norway are excellent options. Because public universities there charge little to no tuition fees.  The cost of living and education is significantly lower compared to the USA or UK. You must factor in living expenses and language requirements.

Class 12 marks are important for fulfilling the admission criteria and tie breaking criteria (if any) during admissions. Admission to Central Universities are conducted through CUET scores, however, candidates must fulfil the minimum marks requirement for admissions.
