Step 1 – Self Evaluation
Do a thorough self-evaluation and short list around 50 universities. This involves
- Motivation behind pursuing education abroad- is it academic inclination/job possibilities/personal interest/specialization etc.
- Realistic evaluation of professional and academic background- academic record (important in shortlisting universities by rank)/dedication/handling peer pressure/ research or work experience in your field/certificates for extra-curricular activities.
- Clear perspective of academic inclination- absolute surety of courses you want to follow
- Clear picture about funding- Education abroad is expensive. Apart from the tuition fees various costs such as living, transportation, health insurance etc. are involved. In your case is it sponsorship/self-finance/ university funding etc.
Step 2 – Details of university/ college
Once through with self-evaluation, your focus must shift to acquiring hard-core details about the short-listed universities for your higher education. The broad areas you should get details on are
- Specialization or programs offered and their duration
- Ranking and faculty of the university
- Approximate cost – tuition and other fees, accommodation, commuting, insurance* etc.
