MS eligibility and profile review

Check your MS eligibility and profile gaps before shortlisting

A programme can look suitable by ranking but still have academic, prerequisite, test or document requirements that your profile may not clearly satisfy. Use this guide to understand the evidence AdmiScan reviews before you build or pay for a shortlist audit.

Academic background

Compare your degree, grades and relevant subject preparation with available programme requirements instead of using one universal CGPA rule.

Tests and language evidence

Check available English-language, GRE, GMAT or other published requirements when they are relevant to the selected programme.

Missing evidence stays missing

When a requirement is not sufficiently verified, AdmiScan should show uncertainty rather than treating the programme as automatically eligible.

What to have ready for an MS profile review

  • Degree title and academic discipline
  • CGPA or percentage and grading context
  • Relevant coursework or prerequisites
  • English-language test status where applicable
  • GRE or other test status where applicable
  • Target subject, countries and intake
  • Budget range

Planning limit

Use evidence without turning it into a guarantee

This is decision support, not an official eligibility decision. Universities can apply programme-specific rules, holistic review and document checks that are not fully captured by a profile snapshot.

Illustrative example

Example: strong grades but a prerequisite gap

An applicant has a strong overall academic record but is considering a programme that publishes specific quantitative or computing prerequisites not clearly present in the applicant's background.

What the review should surface: The useful result is not a generic 'good profile' label. The review should surface the prerequisite question before the applicant spends time finalising that programme.

Frequently asked questions

Can AdmiScan tell me if I am definitely eligible for an MS programme?

No. It can compare your profile with available programme evidence and identify likely gaps or uncertainty, but the university makes the official eligibility and admission decision.

Does one CGPA cutoff work for every university?

No. Academic requirements vary by university, programme, country and applicant background. Programme-specific evidence is more useful than one universal cutoff.

Can I use this before choosing universities?

Yes. A profile review is most useful before or during shortlisting because it can help you avoid building a list around programmes with unresolved requirement gaps.
