If September intake is not possible, can I apply for January intake?
08 Jul 2026 · Answered by Shairal Pathak · 1 min read
Yes, January intake is a good alternative if you miss the September intake. While it offers fewer course options compared to September, many universities still have a decent number of programs available. It allows you to avoid losing an entire year and continue your plans with a slight delay.

You cannot apply for January or February 2026 intakes, as those deadlines have already passed. Applications are now open for the January 2027 intake, with deadlines typically between mid-October and mid-November 2026.
LeapScholar can help you find universities still accepting applications for January 2027 and guide you through the process.
