Typical English
IELTS 6.0–6.5
Indicative only
Commonly 6.0–6.5 overall, with no band below 5.5–6.0, or an accepted equivalent such as PTE Academic
Some universities accept a strong NEB English grade instead. Scores are indicative, not a national minimum
Academic guide
Successful completion of Grade 12 or equivalent. Whether NEB Grade 12 is accepted for direct Year 1, and the GPA required, varies by university. Competitive universities ask for stronger results or a foundation year.
If direct bachelor's entry is not met
International Foundation Year (Business) into Year 1; International Year One (Business) into Year 2 at selected partner universities; UK HND Business into a one-year top-up. Pre-sessional English can be added when English is the only gap.
