Exam Preparation

Most study abroad programs require you to appear for a few exams to prove your eligibility. For Instance, the SAT is a standard admission test widely used in the USA as a data point to compare student applicants. You may also need to prove your English language proficiency by taking the TOEFL / IELTS exams to establish your college readiness.

For the Master's program, the GMAT and GRE are the most renowned exams considered by top universities worldwide for their management and engineering programs, respectively. CLASS24 offers preparation for IELTS, TOEFL, and SAT by the top educators in the domain. We offer both the online module and classroom programs, depending on your availability. A good score in these admission tests provides a multi-fold strength to your candidature, and you must submit these scores along with your application.

Intake Cycles

Before submitting any applications, it is imperative to understand the three intake cycles in most universities.

The Fall Intake (Late Aug to Early December) allows the students to commence studies from the first semester. Most courses in various streams are available for this intake. This intake is highly suitable for students entering long-duration courses as it gives you ample time to settle down and adjust to the new city.

Via its Spring Intake (Early Jan to May), Universities keep a second option to take admission for students who could not apply in the Fall intake for some reason and can now join the course from the second semester.

The Summer Intake cycle, which begins May till July, is a famous intake cycle amongst the Indian student populace. It benefits those willing to engage in a specific subject area, executive programs, and other short-term courses such as language studies. It is always advisable to refer to the University's official website for more information on the intake cycles and course availability before submitting your candidature. We recommend you keep ten months before the commencement of the program for application submission.

Submitting your application

Regarding application submission, we adhere to the age-old saying, "Do not keep all your eggs in one basket."

Apply to multiple universities: We diversify by picking a few dream and safe universities. You can speak to our Class24 counsellors, as our university partnerships allow us to communicate with the University and smooth out the process for you while improving your chances of admittance.

It is essential to keep your education documents, SATs, and IELTS / TOEFL scores ready before commencing the application submission. A higher entrance and language proficiency exam score may drastically improve your chances of getting accepted. Application submission is a lengthy but extensive and sincere process. It allows the University to evaluate you on multiple parameters beyond your examination scores.

Universities often rely on your Motivation letters, Essay, Statement of purpose, and overall profile to understand you better and see if you are the right fit for the course or the University in a broad sense. In this stage of the application process, most students seek professional help and consult the University's student or Alumni network. Class24's experienced educators take this part of the process very seriously; they understand your personality and guide you to build up your profile so that you are always presented in the best light throughout the application process.

The shortlisted applicants may be asked for an online personal interview with the admission staff or the course faculty to further narrow the pool of potential student admits
