View entry requirements on your course of choice by using the search tool, then check your comparable grades below, to determine eligibility.
Entry Requirements
The application procedure varies for undergraduate and postgraduate students, so we publish separate information for each. You'll also need to be able to provide evidence of a specified level of ability in the English language.
The following qualifications will be considered for direct entry to our undergraduate programmes:
Three A levels
Between 30 and 36 points in the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IB).
Information on required grades
The Standard Indian XII (10+2) examinations from CBSE, CISCE or State Boards of Higher Secondary Education are acceptable for admission to our Bachelor degree programmes.
An average mark of 70 - 85% or higher (best of 5 academic subjects) in the Standard Indian XII Higher Secondary School certificates awarded by the central boards (CBSE, CISCE) or a state board, or equivalent, with 75% or higher where subject requirements are stipulated (comparable with Grade B at A Level).
Note
: Applicants will be required to provide an official Digilocker verification of their Standard XII grades/certificates. Applicants who have completed CBSE qualifications should provide their
Admit Card ID

Typical offers (minimum overall average percentage) for applicants with Standard XII would be as follows:
- 85% (comparable to AAB at A-Level)
- 80% (comparable to ABB at A-Level)
- 75% (comparable to BBB at A-Level)
- 70% (comparable to BBC at A Level)
Please note that a minimum grade of 75% or higher in key subjects will normally be required, where the
Course Finder
indicates subject-specific requirements.
To be considered for entry to Medicine or Dentistry, applicants should hold the Indian Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate Grade XII with a minimum of 90% overall, including marks of at least 90% in Chemistry and Biology.
If applicants have taken JEE Main or Advanced examinations, results may be considered in addition to Standard XII results. Good percentile scores in JEE subjects will be considered where performance in a key subject in Standard XII is below the stated minimum requirement. In order for JEE scores to be considered, applicants should have achieved the University’s normal Standard XII overall percentage requirement (as outlined above), with at least 60% in key subjects.
If you do not meet these requirements you may be eligible to apply for entry to the
Queen’s University Belfast International Study Centre International Foundation
. These programmes are based on our campus and help you to prepare for study with us. Successful completion guarantees progression to Stage 1 of an undergraduate degree programme at Queen's (with the exception of Agricultural Technology, Medicine, Dentistry and Social Work).
English Language Requirements
For admission to most Bachelor degree programmes (excluding Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy), the University will normally accept 70% in English Language in Standard XII in lieu of an IELTS Academic test, if awarded by one of the following Indian examination boards, and taken no more than seven years prior to the start of the degree programme. An official Digilocker verification must be provided:
All India Senior School Certificate Examination (Delhi Senior School Certificate Examination) awarded by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)
Indian School Certificate (Year 12) awarded by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE)
Higher Secondary Certificate (Year 12) awarded by the following State Boards: Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal
For further guidance, please consult our
English language requirements
page.
Entry to graduate diploma or taught masters programmes at Queen's University Belfast usually requires either a UK upper second-class (2:1) or a lower second-class (2:2) undergraduate degree. For most courses, your major subject or content of your Bachelor degree may also be considered. Please check our for exact entry requirements.
The comparable Indian qualifications are as follows:
UK Upper Second-Class Honours (2:1)
Successful completion of Bachelor degree with:
First Division Pass and a minimum final average of 58 - 60% (in the traditional system), or CGPA 6.0 - 6.5 on the 10 point scale; depending on the institution attended and the grading system used

Successful completion of Bachelor degree with:
Second Division Pass and a minimum final average of 53 - 55% (in the traditional system), or CGPA 5.5 - 6.0 on the 10 point scale; depending on the institution attended and the grading system used

Where a CGPA system is used, the scoring system used by each institution will be taken into account and applications considered on an individual basis.
We take into account that at some of India's most prestigious higher education institutions it is rare to be awarded a First Class degree. For this reason, it may be possible at the discretion of the Selector to consider candidates from top institutions who have achieved a very good Second Class degree with a final average of 58% or above (where a UK 2:1 is required), or 53% (where a UK 2:2 is required).

Note
: Applicants will be required to provide an official Digilocker verification of their Standard XII grades/certificates. Applicants who have completed CBSE qualifications should provide their

If applicants have taken JEE Main or Advanced examinations, results may be considered in addition to Standard XII results. Good percentile scores in JEE subjects will be considered where performance in a key subject in Standard XII is below the stated minimum requirement. In order for JEE scores to be considered, applicants should have achieved the University’s normal Standard XII overall percentage requirement (as outlined above), with at least 60% in key subjects.
If you do not meet these requirements you may be eligible to apply for entry to the
Queen’s University Belfast International Study Centre International Foundation
. These programmes are based on our campus and help you to prepare for study with us. Successful completion guarantees progression to Stage 1 of an undergraduate degree programme at Queen's (with the exception of Agricultural Technology, Medicine, Dentistry and Social Work).
English Language Requirements
For admission to most Bachelor degree programmes (excluding Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy), the University will normally accept 70% in English Language in Standard XII in lieu of an IELTS Academic test, if awarded by one of the following Indian examination boards, and taken no more than seven years prior to the start of the degree programme. An official Digilocker verification must be provided:
All India Senior School Certificate Examination (Delhi Senior School Certificate Examination) awarded by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)

For further guidance, please consult our
English language requirements
page.
Entry to graduate diploma or taught masters programmes at Queen's University Belfast usually requires either a UK upper second-class (2:1) or a lower second-class (2:2) undergraduate degree. For most courses, your major subject or content of your Bachelor degree may also be considered. Please check our for exact entry requirements.
The comparable Indian qualifications are as follows:

Where a CGPA system is used, the scoring system used by each institution will be taken into account and applications considered on an individual basis.
We take into account that at some of India's most prestigious higher education institutions it is rare to be awarded a First Class degree. For this reason, it may be possible at the discretion of the Selector to consider candidates from top institutions who have achieved a very good Second Class degree with a final average of 58% or above (where a UK 2:1 is required), or 53% (where a UK 2:2 is required).
