The Admission Process of the Universities abroad, specifically USA, Canada, and Australia, are relatively complex and holistic, unlike in the Indian Universities. While the Indian ones have a process that is primarily based on a merit list (Marks scored in the 10th Class, 12th Class and/or a highly competitive entrance examination), the Admission to most of the American, Canadian and Australian Universities is based on the following aspects:
Academics |
a) Marks in Class-10 b) Marks in Class-12 |
Standardized Tests: |
Scores in an aptitude-based standardized test a) SAT or ACT b) TOEFL or IELTS or PTE |

An outside-the-class performance metric based on a) Co-curricular activities [Olympiads, Projects and Competitions] b) Extra-Curricular Activities [Music, Athletics, Sports and other activities such as listed below, that showcase innovation, initiative, leadership, and impact] (i) Social Work (ii) Entrepreneurship (iii) Internships c) High quality intellectual work - like Research Paper Publishing or Science Fair participation |
The earlier students and their families commence the college planning process, the more likely there is to be a fruitful & successful outcome. Early college planning ensures the student and the family are doing what needs to be done well in advance of the process. This significantly reduces the stress associated with the process while enabling the student to apply his or her best efforts going forward.
