You must hold a Level 8 honours bachelor’s degree (Ireland’s framework) with at least a 2.2 (second-class, lower division), or equivalent. In Indian terms, that’s around 55–60% or ~3.0 CGPA/4.0. Accepted backgrounds include Computer Science, IT, Engineering, Mathematics, or closely related fields. If your degree is in a non‑cognate subject, you need at least 4 years of relevant full‑time professional experience.
