Her Research Mechanism and Reason for Selecting the US
Amandeep had shortlisted three countries, viz., the US, Canada, and Australia. By conducting desktop research, she learned about the latest developments in these countries.

Also, for shortlisting the university, she received guidance from the education consultant who provided her with information related to varsities that offered her preferred courses.
English Proficiency Tests
To pursue English-taught programmes abroad, students have to appear for English language tests such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), Pearson Test of English (PTE), or Duolingo English Test (DET). Amandeep appeared for IELTS. Preparing for IELTS was challenging for her as she was working. However, this did not deter her from appearing for exams. She attended classes over the weekend to prepare for IELTS and made the most of any spare time to study. She invested two months in the exam preparation and scored well in the IELTS exam.

She received a doorstep service where all the documents were picked up from her home. Her calls were answered even if she called at odd hours, and all her queries were cleared. It gave her the confidence to leave her finance-related worries behind and pursue her academic aspirations.
