Hi,

I am a graduate in Architecture and passed from Jamia University this year (2016).

I would like to pursue MS from abroad. Could you please guide me and tell the procedure?

Thanks

Hey Samreen,

Applying for MS outside India is not an easy task as it requires a series of steps to be followed. I have listed below a set of tasks that you need to follow in-order to increase your chances of selection.

• Selection of locations/regions where you want to pursue your MS from.
• Shortlist a few Universities based on your interest.
• Learn about the eligibility criteria for each university in each separate region as eligibility criteria varies according to location and course also.
• Prepare for the required standardized tests
  • GRE (General + Subject)
  • TOEFL/IELTS
• Collect all your Academic Transcripts from your under-graduate College.
  • Semester wise marks card + Consolidated marks card (if offered by the university) of candidate’s Bachelor degree’s coursework
• Fill up the application form with carefully with correct information
  • Education systems in different countries vary; hence the language on the application form should be read carefully before form filling.
  • Get the completed form proof read prior to final submission
• Recommendation Letters, Essays/SOP & Resume
  • Must Show Distinctiveness
  • Diversity
  • Intent in applying for a particular course
• Extra Curricular Activities
  • Try to highlight your overall development in varied interests.
  • Community Service however not essential, but can help a lot.
  • Display your ability and experience in management, organization and working with teams
• Financial Documents
  • Make sure you provide proper financial documents
  • These documents are required by the universities for issuing the I20.
  • Be ready to show amounts equivalent to 1 year’s tuition fees and living expenses.
• Visa
  • Getting a Visa is not easy; any of the following can lead to rejection:
    • Incomplete application
    • Wrong information
    • Improper documents
    • Insufficient proof of funding
    • Criminal activity
    • Possible intent of immigration

Hope this will give you a better understanding about what lies ahead, Best of luck!
