No.


If you're referring to an iPad 4, it's not capable of 11 or above.

If you're referring to an second or third generation iPad mini, or a first generation iPad Air, it's not capable of 13 or above.

If you're referring to any newer model, it can only be updated directly to 15.6.1; to do this, use a computer or the Software Update function in Settings.
