For the last decade or so, the number of students preferring to study abroad has increased significantly. However, aspects like informal counselling, unreliable overseas consultants, and a plethora of options can turn this dream into a challenge. Before zeroing in on a foreign university, several factors such as the eligibility score in standardised English tests, a suitable country, cultural adaptation, budget, financing, course duration and employability and come into play for the student. As a result, many become victims of incomplete research and end up in a varsity of lower credibility. From an institution’s perspective, it is not easy to attract international students on campus without a hassle-free admission process and access to a global student network. Agents and counsellors are also in need of a single-point platform where they can connect with students and universities. To address all these factors, Apply Once has been designed as the one-stop education portal which simplifies the study-abroad search, application, acceptance and visa process by bringing together students, academic institutions, agents, and financial service providers onto a unified state-of-the-art platform for credible and easy guidance.
