"For example, an admission abroad consultant, I see an increasing number of applicants who apply abroad just to have a viable option as a backup. In recent years, many have actually leveraged on the backup option as it promised a better college education than what they would have managed in India given the high cutoffs. Our advice to parents with kids in class 10 and above has always been to have their children take the SAT at the earliest; this allows students to keep backup options abroad should they change their mind later in the process. Even if they choose to study in India, there are colleges such as Ashoka University where the SAT results preclude the need to take their admissions test," said Mrinalini.
"The admissions process for the US begins in earnest a good 12 months ago so it would be rare to find a great program that is still accepting applications. Also, keep in mind that you need to apply for a visa even after admission. One, it is a process which requires you to have some time in hand and secondly, most countries are becoming increasingly strict in processing student visas. The most recent here is the UK which has removed India from the group of countries which are in the ‘low risk’ category," Mrinalini Batra said .
The students can also apply abroad for courses of their choice. To apply for the colleges abroad, one should have a good command in English including they have to crack TOEFL, GATE examination. But most of the colleges in UK, US, Canada have their admission process conducted from the month of March to April, however, there are lots of colleges who are still accepting applications. you could make an application to UK colleges who still have seats
"Some of the colleges like Ashoka hold their own admissions test but also those like Bennett University who do not. It must be mentioned that some colleges rely on the results of national entrance examinations (or other standardized tests) to sift through students; Bennett University looks at the JEE score for admission to their engineering programs," said career counsellor Mrinalini Batra
The students who are aiming for Delhi University should keep in mind that there are lots of state, private universities available in Delhi which do not have high cut-offs. Apart from Delhi, there are renowned universities in all over India, like, Jadavpur University, Presidency University in Kolkata, University of Mumbai, Mumbai, University of Chennai, Chennai and private universities like Amity University, Ashoka University and O.P.
