Question 1

How do I convert my Indian CGPA to GPA for US universities?

Accepted Answer

Divide your CGPA by the maximum possible CGPA and multiply by 4.0. For example, 8.5/10 × 4.0 = 3.4 GPA. NexStudy's CGPA-to-GPA calculator does this instantly with university-specific rounding rules.

Question 2

What IELTS band score do I need for top UK universities?

Accepted Answer

Most top UK universities require IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0 for undergraduate admissions. For postgraduate (MSc, MBA), many require 7.0 overall. Check your specific program requirements using NexStudy's IELTS band calculator.

Question 3

How do I convert my GRE score to GMAT for business school applications?

Accepted Answer

Use the ETS GRE-to-GMAT comparison tool or NexStudy's GRE-GMAT converter. A GRE 320+ (Quant+Verbal) roughly equals a GMAT 650+, though top business schools accept both scores equally.

Question 4

What is the total cost of studying abroad for Indian students?

Accepted Answer

Total study-abroad costs (tuition + living) range from INR 20-80 lakhs for a 2-year master's depending on country. Canada and Germany are most affordable; USA and UK are higher. NexStudy's cost calculator gives a city-level breakdown.

Question 5

How do I calculate the ROI of studying abroad?

Accepted Answer

ROI = (Post-degree salary × years of earnings) minus total investment. Most Indian students studying in Canada, UK, or Australia recover costs within 3-5 years. NexStudy's ROI calculator factors in salary data, living costs, and PR pathways.
