In addition, a minimum of 78% overall in the Senior High School Diploma is required, with at least 80% in Chemistry and 70% in another science subject. Biology is preferred as the second science subject, though Mathematics or Physics may also be considered.
Gaokao scores are converted from 750 to a percentage scale. - Senior School Certificate Examination (CBSE) / Indian School Certificate (CISCE) - Class XII: 78% average from the best four subjects, including Chemistry at 80%. Biology is preferred as the second science subject at 70%; however, Mathematics or Physics may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Excludes local language, Environmental Education, General Studies, and Physical Education.
- Advance Placement (AP): 4, 4, 3, including 4 in Chemistry. AP Biology is preferred as the second science subject; however, AP Physics or AP Calculus may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- Diploma - Local Institutions: Entry to Year 2 is assessed on a case-by-case basis, typically requiring a minimum GPA of 3.10 out of 4.0 and good grades in Chemistry (grade equivalent to B required). Biology is preferred as the second science subject; however, Mathematics or Physics may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
- Foundation - Local Institutions: Acceptance is at the School’s discretion and typically requires a minimum GPA of 3.10 out of 4.0 and good grades in Chemistry (a grade equivalent to B required). Biology is preferred as the second science subject; however, Mathematics or Physics may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Nottingham's Foundation Programme: Successful completion is required with an overall minimum average of 50%, including at least 50% in all Biology and Chemistry modules.
