Does the past academic record have any importance?
Your past academic record is one of the most important deciding factors in your getting admission to a college abroad. Most schools require you to have a good academic record, especially for programs and courses offering a masters or doctoral degree. Each university has its own minimum requirements for its programs, which are flexible depending on the candidate’s profile. Universities in each country have their own marking and evaluation systems, which are vastly different from the Indian system. For example, US follows the GPA (Grade Point Average) system which is based on 5 points scheme A,B,C,D & F.
