Study Abroad

5.5 is generally a low IELTS score. Even for Bachelor's degree, the colleges in New Zealand require a band of 6. But the catch is that colleges have several pathway programs for international students who do not meet the admission requirements slightly or more for the English language requirements. You must also remember that you cannot secure admission only on basis of IELTS score. The main criteria is how much is your academic percentile. You did not mention it and hence difficult to overall evaluate your profile. For now, I can advise you to check the requirements on the college websites and also email them and ask about these pathway programs I mentioned. Information about pathways are also mentioned on the college websites.

Hi Krishnakant,
The admission procedure is online. You must start preparing for the admission before six to ten months of the planned intake. If you are planning to study in Canada, then start searching for universities, where you would like to study. Check the fee structure of the colleges, IELTS requirement, class 12th percentage requirements etc. You can apply to some universities, while you are appearing for class 12th, but some universities will allow you to apply only after your class 12th is over. In addition, you must write a personal statement and also get LOR from your teachers. These things are written on universities websites, you have to go through it and apply. Email them for further queries.
