Studying Abroad After Class 12 (+2): Choosing the Right Path
Completing high school (Class 12 (+2) or A-levels) is the most common time for Nepali students to apply for study abroad. Choosing the right country and course early helps you build a stable career path.
Popular Bachelor's Pathways
You can apply for a direct 3-4 year Bachelor's degree. If your grades or English scores are slightly lower, you can take a pathway option: a 1-year Diploma that leads directly into the second year of a Bachelor's degree.
Estimated Requirements
- Academics: Minimum GPA of 2.4 to 2.8 in Class 12.
- English Scores: IELTS 6.0 (no band less than 5.5) or PTE Academic score of 50.
Timeline to Apply
Start your application process immediately after receiving your Class 12 results or provisional certificates. This gives you time to take your English tests, translate documents, and arrange sponsorships.
