 
                    Applying to study in the UK may seem complex, but with proper guidance and timing, it becomes a smooth, structured process.
Indian Overseas Service (IOS), Vijayawada provides full assistance — from the moment you plan to study abroad until you reach your university campus.
1. Profile Evaluation and Counselling
Our counsellors assess your academic background, career goals, English level, and financial readiness. Based on this, we suggest the best universities and courses that match your profile.
2. Course and University Shortlisting
Select universities according to ranking, location, tuition fees, and scholarship options. We help you apply to 3–5 targeted universities to increase your success rate.
3. Documentation and SOP Preparation
Prepare your Statement of Purpose, CV, reference letters, and all supporting academic documents.
IOS provides free SOP editing and review to make your application stand out.
4. Application Submission
Applications are submitted online directly to universities or through UCAS (for undergraduate programs).
You’ll then receive a Conditional or Unconditional Offer Letter depending on your documentation.
5. Acceptance and Fee Payment
Once you receive an offer, confirm your seat by paying the initial tuition deposit as per university policy.
6. CAS (Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies)
After you’ve met all conditions and paid the deposit, your university issues a CAS — which is mandatory for visa filing.
7. Visa Application and Biometric Appointment
Prepare required documents, proof of funds, and CAS details.
IOS helps you file your UK Student Visa, pay the IHS (health surcharge), and attend biometrics smoothly at your nearest VFS centre.
8. Pre-Departure & Travel Arrangements
Attend our pre-departure briefing to learn about airport pickup, accommodation, banking, and part-time job guidance.
We also connect you with other Indian students studying in the UK.
