The impact of this has been felt across the entire population but if you are a student in Class 12 or equivalent you are in a uniquely confusing position. Taking the next step in your education/career was difficult enough without this huge asterisk hanging over it.
For those of you who are planning to go abroad for an undergraduate degree there is a lot of uncertainty. Your application to an overseas university is subject to 2 things –
What makes it worse is that students from India are the only ones going through this ordeal as most other countries remain on track.
And as things stand, both of these things are very uncertain. There will be no clarity on if and when the boards will happen until June 2021 and borders to a lot of countries are likely to open not before 2022.
So what now?
You could wait. Wait till the board exams are either rescheduled or cancelled. Wait till you finally get the results in hand which won’t be till August. This means the September intake is gone and the next feasible intake would be Jan-Feb 2022.
By the time the signal turns green, it might be too late!
In this scenario, you are going to lose the rest of 2021, i.e., 6 months of your time before you finally start your UG degree.
Or you could save these 6 months.
This guy has the right idea.

With The WorldGrad, you can get a headstart and have the first half of your Year 1 education already complete by the time the Jan-Feb intake rolls around. Which means you will be on track for the second half of your Year 1 when you go overseas at the start of 2022.

This means that even with the delay in your board results you can start your education in late August 2021 or October and be ready to go overseas for the Jan-Feb intake without losing out on precious time.
Additionally, by starting with The WorldGrad you will get savings and scholarships of over INR 20 lac on your 3 year education, i.e.,
