Hi Shubhi, the process to apply abroad is simple. Immediately after making the final list of universities where you want to apply, shortlist a note of when the application process for the shortlisted universities begin and end, along with how many rounds of applications it entertains should be prepared. Keeping a tab on timelines is crucial because universities tend to have different admission cycles and the application period for some universities even ends before it commences for others. Managing finances for a Masters is an integral part of the process and scholarships play a major role. Scholarship research should begin soon after the final short listing is done. Typically, scholarships are of three types those offered by:
I. The university being applied to;
ii. The education council of the country in which the university is being applied to is located; and
iii. Trusts/foundations located in India or abroad.
i. Statement of Purpose (SoP)
In Law, unlike other professions, the post-graduation screening process does not involve personal interviews. This means that the student's candidature is significantly pivoted on the SoP. The quality of the SoP may, as they say, make or break a case.
ii. Letter (s) of Recommendation (LoR)
Shops need to be supplemented along with LoRs. Normally universities seek two LoRs per candidate but some also ask for three. The purpose of the LoR is two-fold, it serves as an authentication of the contents of the SoP and CV, and also highlights, from a third person point of view, the potential and promise a candidate possesses. iii. Curriculum Vitae (CV)
Ideally, a CV should be no longer than two pages. It should contain all the standard details like previous schooling, current marks/CGPA, participation in competitions/moots, internships, working experience, blog posts, research papers, academic publications, awards, scholarships, extra-curricular participation, and honors. Iv. English Language Certification
Depending on the university being applied to, candidates are required to furnish proof of proficiency in English language. TOEFL and IELTS are the two most widely accepted English language certifications. Generally, universities are flexible and are willing to accept scores from either one of the two. Step 8 Applying
Once all the necessary documentation is sorted the next step naturally is to submit the application.
