5 Things Indian students should know
if they’re considering undergraduate study abroad.
Often I meet applicants who want to
study outside India (mainly US and UK), but who seem to be unaware of some
of the major components and requirements of the application process. Here is a list of things I
wish everyone knew before they think about whether study abroad is the
right choice for undergraduate studies.
1.) Different academic criteria count
in different places – If you want to study in the UK, your 10th board
marks (or 10th standard school marks if you haven’t taken a board exam)
and your predicted 12th standard board score will be taken into account
for admission. However those who wish to study in the US should know that
every school report card and mark sheet must be sent to the college with
the application from 9th standard onward. No report card can be omitted.
Board scores are also taken into consideration, but continuous assessments
from 9th -12th standard are important criteria for
US universities.
