    Hi Thomas I have one question in my mind

    Due to some circumstances I failed in 1st year of my graduation. I appeared in exams but failed to pass hence failed in that year and had to repeat it. After that I have maintained a healthy result . Will this effect my chances of getting into a good college.
    my graduation percentage is 68.75 till pre final year n m expecting it to be above 70%

      Hi there,

      Will it be visible in your final certificate (the one that you send to a school included in your application)? If not, why worry?

      Overall, there is no general answer to your question as it likely depends on the individual admissions manager at a specific school. So, again. Why worry?

      Finally, you cannot change it anyway: Again: Why worry?

      My personal opinion is that most admission managers just want to see good or very good grades - if you give this to them, it's what they want. Whether you failed the year before should be less important (particularly if you can explain it).

      Best wishes
      Thomas
