Yes, international students can take part in the undergraduate programs after completing their 12th. Students need to fulfill the basic eligibility by holding a proof of high school completion, and submit certain mandatory documents, including academic transcripts of their qualification, standardized test scores (ACT/SAT), and demonstrate their English language proficiency. Students must perform exceptionally well in class XII, and may need to submit scores from the College Board Advanced Placement, IIT JEE, or STEP to get admission.

A Levels stand for advanced level, and they are UK-based academic qualifications that are taken by students between the age group between ages of 16 to 18 years. They focus on in-depth knowledge of particular subjects and are recognised by Cambridge and the rest of the world. As an international student, these levels are not required, but the candidate must have passed with the highest scores possible.

The University of Cambridge is very selective in finding the right candidates for the courses offered here. The acceptance rate stands at 21.49% meaning out of every 100 applications, only 21 to 22 students were rolled out an offer letter. 

International students are required to put their best foot forward to receive an offer from this university. To get admitted, students would need -

  • Great academic background
  • English language proficiency
  • Great essays 
  • An updated resume 
  • Diverse extracurriculars

It is tough to be a part of the University of Cambridge admissions because this university is quite selective in finding the best candidates. As a result, international students are required to have a competitive GPA. According to some unofficial sources, a competitive GPA for a Cambridge application is 3.8 or higher on a 4.0 scale.
