Document preparation basics
- Organise SSC, HSC and bachelor transcripts chronologically. Keep scanned PDFs plus notarised copies ready.
- Plan for English proficiency early (IELTS/TOEFL/Duolingo) so scores stay valid when offers arrive.
- Draft an SOP that explains academic choices, finances and post-study plans without copying templates.
- Maintain a current CV covering academics, jobs, internships and volunteer experience.
- Secure recommendation letters from teachers or supervisors who can speak to your strengths.
