Look at the campus location, rankings, the amount of time you would like to spend away from home, and the total cost of studying and living overseas. Also consider a country’s economic, political, and social stability when planning to study away from home. It is advisable to think about what kind of lifestyle you prefer – do you want to be in a cosmopolitan city or a quiet country town? Would you prefer to choose a city where there are other students of your nationality? Do you want to be close to the beach, forest, or desert? Do you want to live on/off-campus?. Similarly, you need to take think If you would like to explore the option of staying in the country to work after your studies you will need to find out about the migration policies of that place and visa conditions.

Globally recognized degrees that you have earned abroad will be appreciated and accepted in your home country. But you need to know the government equivalency rules and formalities and do some research with the relevant professional registration bodies in your home country for advice before you apply for abroad.

Your Shatakshee counselors will guide you accurately so that you will get authentic guidelines on equivalency rules, its formalities, and the requirement of relevant professional registration bodies before you apply to the particular courses or after completion of your course in abroad.

All universities and Colleges can have different entry requirements, so it is advisable to visit Shatakshee and collect the course information very carefully. There is a range of entry requirements depending on the level of education and the chosen program. It is fully based on the enrolment eligibility criteria/policy of particular education providers. As stated before, the academic requirements and evidence of English language skills will vary depending on your level of education, chosen course, and the country that you have selected for your study. Similarly, some courses will require you to have done a foundation course before applying for a degree compulsorily, or sometimes you need to go for Foundation or any other Qualifying Program if your academic requirement or English test proficiency are not met directly go for a degree. Your Shatakshee counselors will help you assess your eligibility for different programs and guide you on the courses and locations that best meet your preferences.

Studying abroad is one of the most beneficial and life-changing experiences. For most international students, the appeal is likely to be a combination of gaining a high-quality education, experiencing immersion in a new culture (and often a second language), gaining a global mindset and expanding future employment prospects, overcome the challenges of living in another country and gain a greater understanding of the world. In this way, by studying abroad you can give real-life context to your classroom learning, get to travel the globe, expand your worldview, gain your confidence, make lifelong friends, and proficient enough to communicate with all types of people, etc. so that you can easily find from a good job to improving your social life when you back to home town. Therefore, Studying abroad can be a tool to change the way you see the world. But it is recommended to know the challenges and opportunities of studying in a particular location for your excellent Exit Outcome.

The first impression any university or education institution has about you is through your application. This impression will carry a lot of weight when you are being considered for admission. It is for this reason that the application needs to be drafted with great care and should have all the necessary documents carefully presented with it. Our counselors are always on hand to make sure that your documentation and application are exactly as they are supposed to be as per the norms of educational providers.

The most important factor in going abroad for education is finding a course that is perfect for you in every possible way. It should not only be something that you are interested in but also something that will hold you in good stand for moving forward in your career. Similarly, your course selection depends on the intention to study a particular course, your academic qualifications, English proficiency, and financial strength. It is also advisable to select the subject which is closely related to your previous study and that has a good value in Nepal. Similarly, you should bear the task of paying the fees of the course comfortably. The team at Shatakshee Educational stays constantly updated with the new courses on offer in prime universities around the world.

Yes, you need to apply for a student visa.

The cost associated with studying at a university or college abroad vary greatly. It depends on different things including the country that you have chosen, types of educational providers, the nature of your chosen program, the length of your study, the distance you travel, your lifestyle preferences, and even your current and future academic performance. To work out the cost of studying abroad, you need to consider the average tuition fees for international students in your chosen country, as well as the cost of living. This is recommended to be mindful that some student visas require you to have a certain amount of funds available in your bank account or your parent’s bank account when you arrive in your chosen country. It is the best advice to visit Shatakshee or speak to one of our

counsellors primarily before you start planning your study abroad as our counsellors are up to date in the visa policy and the immigration guidelines of the country you wish to enrol in. We also advise you to know the part-time work right alongside your studies to support in living or socializing costs. However, there are restrictions on the hours you are allowed to work to ensure you don’t lose your academic focus. Your Shatakshee counsellors will help you to offer you accurate career information regarding cost to study abroad and the part-time work system of your chosen country.

Shatakshee focuses on Scholarships the MOST due to the incredible range of its benefits. Scholarships Make Education Easier to Access, It Can Access Extensive Support, It Helps You Extend Your Network, It Gives Your Resume a Boost, It Encourages Philanthropy and It enhances Additional Experiences, etc. So, we take it as our priority to serve the students closely. Study abroad scholarships is available in most countries. Your first port of call will be Shatakhee where you are guided by a professional team or you can have a close read of your chosen university’s website, where you’ll find information on available scholarships. Sometimes the university will also list external scholarships, such as those offered by the government or business partners of the provider. If not, you should research governmental schemes in your home country and your country of study, as well as funding offered by external organizations relating to your field of study (e.g. an engineering firm might offer a scholarship for engineering students). Many scholarships are granted based on academic merit and are highly competitive. There are of course a myriad of other funding opportunities available to make studying abroad more affordable, including scholarships, fellowships, studentships, sponsorships, grants, and bursaries. Visit Shatakshee to utilize this opportunity.

You can have different options for your stay as per your need and as per your budget. If your chosen university has readily available campus accommodation, it is likely that you will be able to apply for a place in these student halls. If this is not the case, you will need to find your own accommodation as per your wish. You can consider renting your own flat if you are financially sound. If you have a smaller budget, you can find shared accommodation or use of spare room listings found online. In all cases, you should make sure you do your research before signing anything or handing over any money. Your university’s student support team and student union should also offer advice on how to find accommodation locally. Shatakshee team will guide you with the best available alternative as per your desire and budget.

Globally recognized degrees that you have earned abroad will be appreciated and accepted in your home country. But you need to know the government equivalency rules and formalities and do some research with the relevant professional registration bodies in your home country for advice before you apply for abroad.

Your Shatakshee counselors will guide you accurately so that you will get authentic guidelines on equivalency rules, its formalities, and the requirement of relevant professional registration bodies before you apply to the particular courses or after completion of your course in abroad.

It depends on whether or not your student visa allows you to work. In some countries, there are restrictions on the amount of paid work you can undertake during your studies. Often there’s a limit of 20 hours’ paid work per week during term time, with full-time work permitted during holidays. Working while you study can complement your study and living experience. Before you undertake any paid work, ensure that your visa permits it. The opportunity for students to work part-time during their studies varies from country to country. Many universities have a

dedicated jobcentre on-campus for students that advertise job opportunities to help students develop various skills. The university careers service is also a useful source of information. It is fair enough to state here you’ll need to prove that you already have enough money to support yourself when you apply for your visa. It is important to bear in mind that If you do work during your studies, it’s not a good idea to rely on your wages to fund living costs. So, It is recommended to check with the Shatakshee Team to collect clear cut information on your Work Right during your studies.

Pre Departure Briefings covers topics ranging from Academic Life, Accommodation, cost of living, general advice on immigration rules, travel and Health Insurance, duty and responsibility of students, pros and cons of particular countries, guidance on preparing for a student's journey, arriving that country, and so forth. So this session is highly essential to develop your confidence and the other steps required for the student to settle in the new country without any difficulties. It is also a time to inform about International students’ support centre and Pastoral Care Programmes that are implemented to ensure a nurturing environment for students.

Pre-departure briefings also include informing students about a number of issues such as the culture and traditions of the country they are going to. The cultural differences they see there may cause conflict with the locals, or even cause the students to grave culture shock. They are informed about the required appropriate behavior and decorum that they need to maintain. We also advise the students regarding the medical and emergency protocol they need to follow. They are briefed about the location of basic utilities, book stores, and safe entertainment venues around the campus. We also inform students about essential banking details and calling cards which they will need on an immediate basis. The pre-departure briefing is a complete information package that ensures the student is sensitized towards the country they are going to. It aims to make the students self-sufficient and empower them to survive in a new part of the world.

As a prospective international student, it is relatively unlikely for schools to expect you to attend an admissions interview in person, although this is not unheard of – especially for the most competitive programs. Some universities hold international interviews in various locations around the world, so you may be expected to attend one of these. There is also a growing trend of using video interviewing. This is like any other interview, with a prearranged time and date, but will take place online, via an application such as Skype. Applying for the visa, according to most applicants, is an arduous task. The visa applications are finely examined by the authorities and should meet all of their checkpoints before they

are approved. Over and above this the applicants are also required to give a personal interview with the representatives of the country you are applying to at their embassy. At Shatakshee we are with you every step of the way. We ensure that you are thoroughly prepared for all the possible questions you may be asked in the admission or visa interview. There are comprehensive training sessions where the applicant is given a number of tips and techniques to help them fly through the interview. This not only imbues the student with confidence but also ensures that they are not caught by surprise during the interview.

Considering your application as early as possible is the best way to go. After all, the sooner you gain acceptance into a university, the sooner you can arrange your travels. To avoid disappointment, note down all the relevant application deadlines (set out by your chosen university) on your calendar. Application deadlines will be different depending on the school, but, for programs starting in the fall (September/October), applications will generally be open from early in the year (January/February) until the middle of the year (June/July).

We recommend you begin your application process before time to give enough time for your applications to be processed and to prepare for your time overseas. It is highly essential to bear in mind that the academic year begins at different times of the year in different countries. Semester dates tend to run as follows:

Australia
Semester 1: starts late February/early March to late May/early June
Semester 2: starts late July/early August through to November.
