I have passed my 10 th class in August 2012. After that i joined my 11 in 2016 and passed 12 in 2017. Now I have completed my Btech in 2021 and i am trying to study masters abroad. Will that year gap between 10 to 12 effect my studies for masters?

The year gap between 10th and 12th may not affect your studies for masters abroad if you can justify the gap. However, it also depends on your age, academic performance, work experience and other factors that the universities may consider. A gap after graduation may not affect your chances of admission if you participated in an internship or any sort of professional activity related to your field of study. You can check the specific requirements of the universities you are applying to for more details.
