What eligibility requirements must I meet for a BE or BTech abroad as an Indian student?
To study BE or BTech abroad you must have completed Class 12 from a recognised board, usually with strong scores. You also usually need a language test such as IELTS, TOEFL or PTE, and some universities ask for SAT or ACT, along with transcripts, a resume, recommendation letters and essays.
Leading colleges abroad prefer students who finished their 12th standard with excellent scores from a recognised board. You also need to prepare your application documents with care.
