The teaching staff is very kind and always ready to clear my doubts.
Tips: I could talk about joining a university in a foreign country. Before joining a foreign university, you need to keep a few things in mind like: Since you'd be on your own, you have to manage your finances well. In most cases, you would have a budget, and exceeding that could be a painful scenario. Take care of all documentation-related items too, visa-related docs, passports, admission letters, etc. Finding accommodation could be an uphill challenge, but eventually, you'll find it. Most importantly, you have to get out of your comfort zone. Network at university, ask for help, find out how to deal with emergencies, follow local lawns and of course, stay connected with friends and family. These are quite indicative and general in nature. These are challenges all study abroad aspirants face. Each may face some or more of these, but with a little bit of determination, it does work out fine.

Q:   Why is Shiksha Grading better than other ranking bodies?

A: 

For the students looking forward to study abroad, the ranking of a university plays a crucial role in decision-making. However, the availability of multiple rankings online can be overwhelming for the university's international audience. All the top ranking bodies rank universities on the basis of different parameters, which can be hard to understand for first-time study abroad aspirants. Keeping this in mind, the Shiksha Study Abroad has launched Shiksha Grading. It caters the Indian audience and ranks all the universities with Indians as their target audience.

What makes Shiksha Grading stand out is that the website uses the aggregate of all the publicly available university and course rankings from top-ranking publishers and maps it into 9 buckets - A++, A+, A, B+, B, C+, C. In this method, universities are graded by country and courses are graded by availability at the college in a particular country. With the help of this, students will no longer be required to check multiple ranking organisations to know about the performance of a particular university. Students would only be required to check Shiksha Grading – a platform where all the top rankings from popular ranking groups would be normalised and all universities would be graded into 9 buckets - A++, A+, A, B+, B, C+, C.

Q:   Which are some of the top-ranked universities in UK?

A: 

Some of the top-ranked universities in the UK are the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, University of Warwick, etc. Check the table given below to know about the ranking of these top-ranked universities:
