Tutorials at University of Oxford are considered central for teaching. These tutorials take place between group of 2-3 students rather than large classroom teaching. Personal attention to students can be provided through this method, which isn't possible through regular lectures alone. 

These tutorials help students in many ways such as: 

  • Direct feedback from the teachers 

  • Introduction of new topics 

  • Exchange of ideas   

  • Constructive criticism   

  • Ability to think broadly

Oxford University asks for an interview for some programs from eligible candidates. They must appear for 2-3 interviews before starting their course at the university. In interviews, subject experts simulate a mini tutorial to analyze whether students can think, analyze, and apply knowledge. 

Review the personal statement and be ready to answer questions based on the statement
Practice thinking while solving unfamiliar problems or materials
Take mock interviews as much as possible
Read articles, essays, and listen to podcasts to be aware of things beyond the textbook.

These courses are renowned for developing analytical, political, and economic perspectives which is crucial for civil services. In addition, most PG graduates choose Oxford's Blavatnik School of Government and Oxford Department of International Development (ODID).

Indian students have chosen courses at University of Oxford according to the rankings globally, career opportunities offered and the overall academic excellence at the university. Some of the top ranked courses at Oxford include Law, Computer Sciences, Economics and Management, Medicine, Philosophy, Politics, Economics, Mathematics and Statistics, MBA, etc. Since the acceptance rate is too low, getting into these programs is quite tough for international students. Undergraduate students must hold a strong Class 12 profile from a recognised board, with exceptional performance, a personal statement, and a reference letter.

Oxford looks at your overall academic performance, especially predicted scores for final board exams. One low semester or a lower 10th grade score like 69 percent can be overlooked if you show strong recent performance like your 91 percent in 11th. They prefer students with high potential and subject strength, especially in the course you apply for. Strong entrance tests, reference letters, and a good personal statement also matter a lot.
