I would like to discuss on this topic related to studying abroad after your 12th. You know these days, there is an increase in a number of students who pursue their higher studies abroad in some of the reputed institutes/universities. You have a number of options to study abroad after your 12th PCM. You might have heard about Oxford and Cambridge Universities; many students from India have secured their bachelors and masters from these universities. You can go abroad for higher studies like Management, Engineering, Fundamental sciences like Physics, Mathematics, etc. Many countries like USA, Canada, Newzealand, Britain, Singapore, South Korea, etc. are providing avenues for your higher education.

Nowadays, it has become easy to get admission there in foreign universities of your choice. Some of the foreign Universities and institutions have opened their campuses in tie up with Indian institutions and you can get admission here and pursue some part of the study in that related foreign institute. You know many Indian students have been graduated in Medical Sciences from Russia; many garnered their Master of Business Administration from Oxford/Cambridge. So there is a huge scope for anyone to pursue their higher studies abroad and since many years, students are seen going abroad for the same. There are some requirements you must fulfill beforehand to make your admission procedure simple and easy.

You will be required to have passed some of the requisite tests:

IELTS - International English Language Testing System – this test is designed for testing your abilities to communicate in English. This is for non-native English speakers, e.g. Indian, etc.

GMAT - Graduate Management Admission Test – This test evaluates you for the aptitude/mathematics and English language and is required to be admitted in some of the foreign universities as it is considered for taking admissions for graduate business studies.  

GRE - Graduate Record Examination – Another test which is required to get admission for graduate studies other than business, law, and medicine.

TOEFL - Test of English as a Foreign Language – this is basically an English language proficiency test and is required for a non-native English speaker to get admission in the USA for Undergraduate or Graduate study.

The above tests are not compulsory for many foreign institutes but taking these tests will increase your chances of getting admission there.


For your information, in India, many foreign universities/institution have been arranging their Education Seminars/Fests etc. where you can directly contact with them and secure your admission in that respective institution, easily. You can apply for loan/scholarships here in India and many foreign institutions are providing scholarships also, you can avail that by fulfilling their criteria. After getting an admission that concerned institute would help you getting you a VISA and related things.

The most important thing to keep in mind with regards overseas admissions is the timeline. In almost all countries, admissions begin a year earlier to the month of enrollment. Which means that you will be starting your admission process way before your final results are in hand. 

Depending on which country you opt for you shall require your grades from Class 9-11. In addition your school will need to provide predicted grades which will be usually based on your mid term exams. 

Essays and/or Personal Statements are a very crucial part of your overseas applications. Some countries like the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong only require one Personal Statement, whereas US has multiple essays which you will need to write. 

In addition you also require recommendation letters from your school. This could be any teacher who has taught you, or even your counselor or Principal. Usually only one is required though you can submit additional letters if you feel the need. 

The good thing about foreign universities is their flexibility. Most UK and Irish universities will accept a certain percentage in your Class 12 English, failing which you will need to take the IELTS or TOEFL. Usually GMAT and GRE is only required for Masters courses, not Bachelors. 

You can also look at a whole host of options after PCM, not necessarily only science related but also subjects like Accounting, Business Management and even Law; depending on which country you opt for.
