FAQs
Costs, intakes, work rights & PR questions, answered.
Which is the cheapest country to study abroad from India?
Germany (near-zero tuition at public universities), Poland and Italy have the lowest totals; Canada's colleges with co-op terms give strong value in English-speaking destinations. The right answer depends on your field - we quantify it per profile.
When should I start applying for fall vs spring intake?
Fall (August-September) carries the full course catalogue and deepest scholarship pools - start 10-12 months ahead. Spring (January) suits students who need extra test-preparation time - start 7-8 months ahead. Summer (May) is limited to select programs.
Which countries offer the longest post-study work rights?
Canada (PGWP up to 3 years), Australia (2-3 years on the 485 visa) and New Zealand (up to 3 years) lead; the UK Graduate Route gives 2 years (18 months from 2027); Germany and France offer 12-18 month job-seeker permits.
Can I switch my destination after starting applications?
Yes, but test choices, fund formulas and timelines shift - which is why we lock your destination during country selection before any application money is spent.
Do all 16 destinations need IELTS?
Most accept IELTS, PTE, TOEFL or Duolingo interchangeably; Germany's English-taught programs and several European destinations accept MOI or alternative proof for strong profiles. We map the fastest qualifying test per university.
How do I compare total first-year cost across countries?
Add tuition plus living proof (Canada ~CAD 22,895, Australia ~AUD 29,710, Germany ~EUR 11,904 blocked account, UK 28-day maintenance) minus confirmed scholarships. Bring your shortlist to a free session for a line-item comparison.
