If you were planning to begin your higher studies abroad this year or the past year, chances are Covid-19 pandemic has already ruined your plan. Or maybe you’re wondering about studying abroad next year but you\u2019re not sure whether your application will be affected.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With travel restrictions and new visa rules, Covid-19 has crushed the dreams of millions of Indian students looking to study abroad. Let alone the practical challenges, they\u2019re simply unwilling to go and live abroad at this time of global uncertainty.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Amid such chaos and confusion, we\u2019ve put together some important information for you. Read on to know about admission to foreign universities during this unprecedented time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Admission into Foreign Universities are Still Taking Place\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Whatever situation you\u2019re in now, there\u2019s one important thing you\u2019ve to keep in mind – it\u2019s still possible to study abroad. While India is increasingly struggling with the crisis, foreign universities are looking forward to the Fall 2021 intake. They\u2019re offering much flexibility to international students at all stages of the student lifestyle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, universities have extended their deadline of submitting applications. They’ve also offered a larger window to accept admissions and pay the tuition fee. The vast majority of international universities have developed future plans for future lockdowns, travel bans, and restrictions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Travel Restrictions are Shifting & Need Not Stop Admission in Foreign Universities<\/b><\/h2>\n

Travel limitations are one of the main concerns for both current and prospective students. While most of the institutions are conducting virtual learning programs, students are worried about missing out on the most exciting part of studying abroad – the opportunity to experience a new country and culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, many universities especially in the UK and Europe have implemented flexible start dates. They’ve implemented a hybrid learning program – a mixture of both online and offline classes. So even if you can’t go there for the first semester, you’re likely to travel there for the second.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On top of that, student visas might be exempt from travel restrictions. So, you might be able to go to the country your university is located in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a recent survey, 89% of the students confirmed that they want to pursue their plans of studying abroad. Only 11% of them said they\u2019ve changed their plans.
