Upcoming Intakes For Studying Abroad

Are you wondering when to begin your application process? Well, you have come to the right place.

Understanding the application process for universities and colleges outside of India can be challenging because it differs significantly from those of Indian institutes.

The majority of foreign universities have two intakes in September and January, with some accepting the third intake in April or May.

It’s natural to be confused about where to begin your application process and when to start your process.

When you have decided to pursue your education abroad, you should begin the application process at least a year in advance to ensure that you will be successful in your application and be able to begin your studies as soon as possible.

Process for applying to International colleges/universities

 1. Research

It’s best to get going as soon as possible. Begin by determining which course is best for you – make a list of your strengths and interests, and then look for courses that match your present qualifications. Begin your research as early as one 1-year advance to ensure you succeed in your application process.

Visit the websites of eligible universities to learn about their application methods, prerequisites, deadlines, and tuition fees. Learn about the several types of financial aid and scholarships that are available, as well as how to apply for them.

2. Take the mandatory examinations

Almost every university and college requires IELTS or other certified English language competence test scores.

A GRE, GMAT or SAT score may also be required for some programs. Check the approved scores for the schools you want to apply to and begin preparing as early as 9 months prior to the application process start date. Set aside some time in case you need to take the test again.

3. Application Process

Shortlist universities that you wish to apply for and according to the test scores that you have obtained. Take into account your personal preferences, budget, and location.

Prepare your application by gathering all of your paperwork so that you can complete the project on time. The ideal time is anywhere between 7 months prior to the application start date.

4. Admission Process

Before replying to acceptance emails, carefully evaluate your options. It’s a good idea to consult one of the foreign education specialists about your possibilities.

Once you have made up your decision, respond to the email on time as your interview session depends on it.

5. Visa Process

Once you get approval from the university, without further delay start your visa process. The ideal time is 3 months prior, so you will have some buffer time before the application process starts.

Most countries allow you to apply for a visa three months before your arrival date. Start with the paperwork by gathering all of your documents.
