Monash University Admission Requirements

This guide is for Nepali students applying to Monash University in Melbourne, Victoria. It covers the acceptance rate, the grades and English scores you need, the documents to prepare in Nepal and each step from application to student visa. For campuses, fees and scholarships, see our Monash University profile, and for courses and intakes, our Monash courses guide. The wider picture is in our guide to studying in Australia from Nepal.

What is Monash University’s acceptance rate?

Monash University doesn’t publish an acceptance rate. Percentages quoted on other websites are outside estimates, not official numbers.

What decides an offer is meeting your course’s academic and English requirements. Monash says meeting the minimum entry requirements doesn’t secure a place, because there may be more applicants than places. Some courses also ask for an interview or a folio, so read the extra requirements on your course page.

Applying with everything ready helps, because a missing transcript or English result slows the assessment. If you have passed units at another college or university, you can ask for credit for prior learning before you enrol. That can make your course shorter and cheaper, so raise it when you apply.

What grades do you need from Nepal?

Monash asks for a completed final year of secondary school including English, and we could not read a fixed Nepal score on its site, so each course sets its own requirements.

You can check your qualification in Monash’s study credit and admissions search, and if Nepal isn’t listed you can still apply and send your results. Examples from Monash’s course pages:

• Bachelor’s degrees: final year of secondary school with English, and the course’s own score and prerequisite subjects.
• Master of Information Technology: a bachelor’s, not necessarily in IT, with at least a 60% average.
• Master of Professional Accounting: a bachelor’s with at least a credit (60%) average.
• Master of Banking and Finance: a bachelor’s with at least a credit (60%) average, as listed on the course page.

To see where your +2 grades stand, convert your NEB GPA to a percentage with our NEB GPA calculator. If your marks are lower or you have a gap, read about the GPA required to study in Australia and the study gap accepted in Australia.

What English scores does Monash University accept?

Monash’s minimum is IELTS Academic 6.5 with no band under 6.0, and some courses ask for more.

Cambridge and LanguageCert results are also listed on Monash’s English requirements page. The student visa has its own minimum: IELTS 6.0, PTE Academic 47 or TOEFL iBT 67.

If your score falls short but you meet the other requirements, you can look at Monash English before your degree. Remember that your test result must also be valid when you apply for the visa. To compare scores, see our guide to the minimum IELTS and PTE for Australia.

Which documents do you need from Nepal?

You upload your academic records, identity documents and English result to Monash’s online application, My.App.

• Your SEE and +2 mark sheets and certificates. Our guide explains how to get transcripts in Nepal from NEB, TU and other boards.
• Your bachelor’s transcript and degree certificate for master’s courses.
• Your IELTS, PTE or TOEFL score report.
• A valid passport. If you don’t have one yet, see getting a Nepali passport for study abroad.

Results not in English need certified translations, and Monash prefers NAATI translators. Nepali certificates and bank documents often carry Bikram Sambat dates; our Nepali date converter helps you match them to the A.D. dates on your forms.

How do you apply to Monash University, step by step?

From Nepal you apply directly on My.App or through a registered Monash agent, then accept your offer, get your CoE and apply for your visa.

1. Choose your course on Find a course and read its entry requirements.
2. Apply. Monash’s international undergraduate page and graduate page explain the online route, and a registered agent can also apply for you.
3. Get your offer. You track it on your portal and answer any requests there. Monash also has a genuine student page, and our Genuine Student guide explains what you need to show.
4. Accept and pay. The deposit is on your International Student Course Agreement. To send tuition from a Nepali bank you need a No Objection Certificate (NOC); see how to apply for an NOC in Nepal.
5. Get your CoE and OSHC. Monash issues your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE), and you need OSHC health cover for your whole stay.
6. Apply for your student visa (subclass 500) with your CoE, OSHC, funds and English result. The fee starts from AUD 2,500. See the Home Affairs student visa page, our SOP guide for an Australia student visa and the financial documents guide.

Home Affairs doesn’t publish evidence levels for providers or countries; our page on level 1, 2 and 3 universities explains what to check instead. Our how to apply for an Australia student visa page gives the full timeline, and our branches in Kathmandu, Lalitpur, Chitwan, Itahari and Pokhara can check your file.
