What is the preferred intake period for applying to universities abroad?
04 Jun 2026 · Answered by Swastika Ghosh · 1 min read
The main intake for most universities abroad is the Fall intake, starting in August or September, with the widest range of courses available. Since you are aiming for January 2027, the Spring intake is also an option, though with fewer programs. Start your application process 10-12 months in advance to maximize your choices and stay on track.
