Make a dashing march for foreign education!

Foreign education gives an opportunity to get new acquaintances with new languages, cultures and friendships along with getting quality education. This is the reason that more than 4 lakhs of Indian students are getting admissions into foreign Universities. This figure is increasing at a stable rate during the last 5 years. This is the right time for starting the application procedure for those who get equipped with the necessary qualifications!!!

Final year degree students have 2 choices before them. First one is – search for employment and second one is to go for higher studies. For higher studies again there are two choices – 1) Prosecuting studies in our country and 2) Study in a foreign country. Students intending to go abroad for further studies should know the procedures and requirements and draw a plan accordingly.

Broadly, to get admission in a foreign country, there are 8 important points to be taken note of.

1. A good percentage of marks

2. Proof of proficiency in English (IELTS/ TOFEL)

3. GRE/ GMAT/ SAT/ ACT score prescribed by the concerned University/ department

4. Recommendation letters

5. Documents showing proof of sufficient financial resources

6. Statement of Purpose

7. Resume

8. Document of confirmation of relevant experience (only to those to whom it is applicable)
