Low Percentage (57%) in B.E. – Can I Get Admission in US Universities?
This post is about low academic percentage and the impact of getting admission. Santosh asks:
I have completed M.Sc. (Electronics) with 57.61% (aggregate) from Vidhyanagar (Gujarat), India.
I want to know whether I can join M.S. in electronics (telecommunications) in the USA or not, so that I can prepare for GRE.
If yes, then please give me the information about the universities in the USA, which provides these courses, and also give me information about the minimum GRE and TOEFL scores needed for admission. Some good universities names in USA that provides aid. Thank you.
Low Percentage
Usually, many students from Mumbai and Pune University have similar situations. The reason behind this is the university grading policy.
If you look at international students applying from Tamil Nadu, the top ranked students will have 90% grades or higher.
However, the top ranked students in universities in the northern part of India tend to have comparatively lower percentages.
Some students with 70% will be a university rank holder. So you don’t need to worry about your score.
So this means that 57% is not considered low. You have to compare yourself with the top rank holders of your class/university and then see if it’s low or not.
You should start preparing for a GRE exam early. Having a GRE score of above 1,300 will help you get admission with scholarship at U.S. universities.
Information about Universities in USA
I do suggest you take time to read all the articles in this blog. You can find so much information that would help you. Over 200 articles are about the U.S. admission process and university selection.
For instance, you can read about GRE exams, Sample Statement of purpose, Resumé writing tips, University selection and much, much more.

hello everyone,
i just completed my B.Tech in civil engg. from IIT Roorkee, but i have scored a CGPA of 5.813, which i know is very low. i am really very much interested in doing masters in Transportation engg. from US.
But i am in dilemma of whether or not i can get into any good universiry in US.
i also have a doubt whether or not there is any preference for completing B.tech from IIT in getting I20.
please answer my question as i am really tensed right now whether to go for job or study for GRE.also please suggest me when to take GRE exam?
dear harsha,
nice to hear that you are from the iit-r i want to suggest you to study for the GRE at least 3-4 months as you did for cracking the jee and got your self seated into coveted institution and please do not worry about doing job as you will get a good package at any point of time you like so stop worrying and start preparing for the GRE my mama has somewhat similar conditions as he had cgpa of 5.96 and that too from it-bhu but he scored near perfect score in the gre back in 1996 he got full scholarships and funding from UNIV of Toledo.
thanks for your comments vaibhav.
