• It is important that there is academic excellence in the secondary examinations of the Indian Syllabus, the standard exams of XII from CBSE/State Board. Since the students of Britain go through 13 years of pre-university academics instead of 12 like Indians, students need to perform exceptionally well in their qualifying examinations or go through an extra year of Foundation to be eligible for their admission to the top universities of the UK.

For a few courses mentioned, the deadline would be a bit early than the rest, as early as in the mid of the academic session of the Previous Year.
• All International Students seeking admissions into the Universities of UK need to take an English Proficiency Test called International English Language Test (IELTS) conducted by the British Council and the score should be at least 6 to 6.5.
