Visit the museums London offers a wide range of museums for every person’s interest. From art to transport and history to science, the British capital has an exhibition for everything. And the best news is that many of them are free. You can just top up your travel card or get walking/cycling, and off you go to learn about ancient civilizations, extinct animals the history of psychology, the latest modern art movement – whatever takes your interest. 2. Take a walk in the parks You have probably already heard all about the non-stop rain and fog in London, and you expect to be stuck indoors all the time. Well, the truth is that this is (more or less) a myth. London has lots of sunny and pleasant days during the year and you may well find that it’s actually not as cold and grim as you expected. What’s even better is that the city has numerous beautiful parks and gardens for you to enjoy!

Explore the famous landmarks For those of you who are interested in popular landmarks and historical monuments, you will NOT be disappointed! Lot of those have entrance fees if you want to go inside, but who’s to say you cannot admire them from the outside? The Houses of Parliament and the famous ‘Big Ben’ clock tower will leave you breathless with their grandeur and magnificence. Tower Bridge, one of the most beautiful bridges in the world, is definitely a must-see, especially when magically lit up at night or emerging from the early morning mist. Then there’s the iconic St. Paul’s Cathedral, the royal seat Buckingham Palace, and more contemporary landmarks such as the famous Tate Modern gallery and London Eye. 4. Walk along the Thames Some of the best walks in London are to be had along the banks of the River Thames. It is the longest river in England and the second longest in the United Kingdom. Its source is at the Thames Head in Gloucestershire and empties into the North Sea at the Thames Estuary but there is no stretch of this river that is so highly populated with iconic buildings and monuments as the stretch traversing the heart of the London city. 5. See the street performers at Covent Garden The former fruit and vegetable market that was founded in Central Square has now been modified in to a popular tourist spot in the Central Building: the abode of several pubs, cafes, small shops and a craft market called the Apple Market.

The essay for college application gives a sense of anxiety and fright to most of the students. It isn’t an easy job, after all it plays a major role in deciding your fate to admission. Your essay not only showcases your skills, it also reveals something important about you that your grades and test scores can't—your personality. It is only in your hands (quite literally!) to have full control on your essay unlike every other aspect of the application. Hence, you need to make sure that the glimpse you are giving the admission committee into your personality, character, background, and writing ability is the very best possible. It is necessary to keep the following key application essay tips in mind while writing: Make it interesting: Admission Officers have to go through hundreds of college application essays, and they can only spend few minutes to each essay. Make sure you are not straining the admission officer’s patience by writing something which is “known to all” or boring. However, this does not mean that they are looking for a new way to view the world instead they are looking for a new way to view you, the applicant. To the point: Being concise, is another important factor which should be kept in mind while drafting your essay. Too much of words not only take up valuable space, but also tend to confuse the important ideas that you are trying to convey. Sentences that are short and precise are more convincing and strong because they are direct and to the point. No slangs please! : Inappropriate language is a strict no-no! Slang terms, clichés, an excessive casual tone should be eliminated. Usage of these would only project a very casual and an “I don’t really care” attitude, which would result in your application to straight away be piled up on the “definitely not” stack of applications kept on the admission officer’s desk. Reflect yourself: Try putting in your views and perspectives on the instances you share. Your essay should throw light on your character and your true personality. The reader is most interested to have a glimpse of your own thought-process about a particular instance that you have shared. Be bold: The Admission Officer would appreciate a controversial write up. This however does not mean that you have to pretend to have the final truth or have strict views on sensitive issues. Diversity of mind is what the admission committee looks for as colleges are places for discussion of various ideas. If you are to take a stand on anything, make sure you are balanced and thoughtful. Give reasons and arguments for your views along with accepting others’ perspectives as well. No spelling mistakes: As little or ignorable as it looks, spelling errors simply scream ‘lack of attention to detail’. No matter how many times you have gone through your own essay, you will not be able to spot a mistake as easily as a fresh pair of eyes. Your future is worth the hassle if you just ask a friend or a teacher to triple check before finalizing it. Answer the Question: Once you have finished drafting the essay, ask yourself or ask your friends and family to read it and to keep these major questions in mind- Have I answered the question and used specific and true experiences as supporting details? Does each and every part successfully support my main argument? Is every sentence crucial to the essay? (This must be the case) Does it reveal my personality? Revise! Revise! Revise a little more! : Your only way to improve the essay is to edit, edit, and edit some more. Revise your essay as much as you can, ask your friends and family to read it, see if they are able to understand what you are wanting to write, dose it serve the purpose of the admission committee, that is, does it answer the question. These essential tips wouldn’t fall short if applied wisely. The key is to highlight your essay from the crowd and emerge as a clear winner.

Only students who score 100% need apply The requirement of a perfect score - 100% - to get admission into one of India's leading colleges has highlighted the severe shortage of good quality higher education institutions in the country. It has also highlighted the problems of the school leaving examinations across India, where students who score 90% and above are unable to get admission into the top colleges of the country. Leading colleges of the country set a cut-off (minimum marks required to be eligible for admission) of 100% for students. Anything less than a perfect score would disqualify them. The move has not only left students outraged, it has also sparked a debate about access and quality in higher education. The number of top performers has also gone up, creating pressure on the handful of quality institutions across the country. The number of students with over 90% marks from the Central Board of Secondary Education is nearly 22,000, up from about 17,000 last year. Among these top bracket students, those with over 95% marks have shot up from about 1,200 last year to over 2100 this year. Trends over the past five years show that the number of students getting over 90% marks has exploded from just 5,412 in 2006 to 21,665 this year. Those with over 95% have increased from an exclusive club of 199 students in 2006 to 2,097 this year. When there are a limited number of quality institutions and the number of aspirants is increasing, the cut-off for admission has to be high. We need more universities and colleges so that students have more choices. The now-disbanded National Knowledge Commission had suggested as far back as 2007 that India needed another 1,500 universities. The shortage of colleges means that despite roping in private players, and boosting the distance education system, only one in ten of the relevant age group (18-24 years old) manages to get into any institution of higher education. This means that over 85% of India's youth is unable to access higher education. Compare this to the world average of 23%, the developing country average of 36.5% and an advanced country average of 45%. The government has created 12 new central universities in the last two years. But it will be years before they can establish themselves and attract the best students. Meanwhile, state universities are suffering due to lack of funds, shortage of teachers, and lack of academic innovation. So the best students shy away from these universities and make a beeline for the handful of good institutions that the country has. Students have also highlighted the average infrastructure in many of the leading colleges and universities across India. Shukla Benerjee, who studied at London Metropolitan University for a year as an exchange student, said: “I did my undergraduate from Jadavpur University in Kolkata, and am applying for a postgraduate at Delhi University. The truth is that both universities have an average infrastructure. The classrooms are nothing great; hostels are less than average and facilities for students is lacking. Even our best do not compare to average universities in the West." Many of the hallmarks of a world-class institution such as an extensive library network, cafeterias for students, work room for teachers, Wi-Fi enabled campus, clean toilets, and lounges are absent in a majority of colleges and universities across India. The lack of quality and shortage of seats is a major reason why many students prefer to study abroad. In 2009, the number of Indian students in the US crossed 100,000. "The government is trying its best to create capacity. But higher education has been ignored and underfunded for a long time. A 100% cut-off is a reflection of an urgent need for capacity building in higher education.

The preceding decade saw the rise of competition among students like never before. In this age of competition, it's not unusual to find bright young students left out from the admission process of the premier colleges and Universities. These students, who are unable to showcase their caliber through mere scores and percentages, have much more to explore these days than just compromise with 'average' universities and colleges. Thanks to the innovative educational systems, that top universities from around the world are no more out of reach. This breakthrough in education has arrived due to the advent of 'Pathway programs. As the name suggests, Pathways are the alternate modes of education that aid in the transition of a student from Colleges to top tier universities. They can be viewed as launch pads as they have relaxed admission requirements and provide a route to universities where admission is not easy. This is especially beneficial for the students who could not get the admission into a particular university directly. Pathways also serve as Pre-degree programs that compensate for deficiencies in previous education of a student. The Colleges that offer pathways are an integral part of their respective partner Universities, based within the University Campus. Therefore, the students have access to the same resources as a University student. This also enables a student to complete the degree at the same time as a University student. In a nutshell, a student opting for this route always remains in a win-win situation. Following are the few benefits that Pathway Programs offer :

Colleges provide a supportive learning environment for students.

Small Class size ensures a lot of personal attention and support.

Colleges are based on the partner university campus. Students have access to university facilities such as libraries, computer centres and social facilities. Students may also avail residence.

Guaranteed Entry into 2 years of Bachelors in Partner Universities after successful completion of the course.

Multiple Intakes per year help students save their time.

Safe and secure campuses.

Relaxed entry requirements as compared to the university.

University-designed programs that help international students adapt to the foreign education system.

Tutorial classes and one-on-one meetings with instructors.
