The University of East London acceptance rate of 72%, makes it somewhat selective at picking students for admissions to its courses. It shows a clear preference for picking highly qualified individuals who maintain a solid academic background & demonstrate the ability to work well with teams & lead indviduals.

In comparison, the Coventry University acceptance rate of 32%, makes it twice as hard to secure admissions at, though its worth noting, Coventry ranks above UEL as part of country-level rankings given by Shiksha.

The Imperial College acceptance rate of 25% places it among the most selective higher educational institutes in the region. IC London is only known to accept about 25 applications of every 100 it receives which makes it very competitive to get into.

University College London in comparison is slightly less picky, with an acceptance rate of 30%, UC London is easier to secure admissions at than Imperial College.
