which universities in Canada give admission to my friend profile

[indusvision]

Hi All,

My friend is a Computer Science student in Bachelors, in one of the top universities in South Asia. The only problem is that his CGPA is a but less, i.e., 2.4 out of 4.00

Is there any Canadian University which should be tried to get admission for his Masters ?

Thanks,
Indus

Hi,

Yes, your friend is eligible to apply to most of Canadian universities for admission to a Master programme, provided Bachelor in Computer Sci. is of 4 years duration, and has secured minimum B grade in final 2 years of his/her Bachelor degree. B grade for students of South Asia, usually means 55%-60% depending upon universities. SO, if one has 60% then.. he/she is very well eligible to apply. If we convert directly: then 2.4/4.00 is 60%.

However, one must keep in mind that meeting the minimum eligibility criteria does not guarantee admission.

To know more about grading system of Canadian universities, read my post on this older thread:

Some universities may give him admission but chances are rare. He should prepare for GRE, a good GRE can somehow cover your cgpa. But still to show his academic competence he will have to rely on a VERY GOOD SOP, some publications ....
