Intakes

July 2027 · February 2028

Applications usually open 8–10 months before the intake. Early applicants get the best scholarship chances.

English tests

New Zealand universities and the student visa accept IELTS, PTE or TOEFL scores.

A university may waive IELTS, but your visa may still need an English test. We check both for you.

MBA: GMAT & work experience

NZ MBAs usually want work experience. We check which programmes fit your profile.

FAQ

Common questions.

How long can I stay and work in New Zealand after my Master's?

Up to 3 years. Rules change, so we confirm the current position when you apply.

How much can I work while studying in New Zealand?

25 hrs / week (full-time in holidays). Part-time work helps with living costs but shouldn't be planned as a way to pay tuition.

Is Xplore Campus really free?

Yes. Our guidance is 100% free for students. Partner universities pay us when a student enrols, and this never changes the fees you pay.

Does Xplore Campus help with education loans?

Yes. We connect students with reliable lenders and help with the loan process and documents.

Can I study abroad without IELTS?

Some universities accept English-medium education instead of IELTS. Your visa may still need an English test, depending on the country. We tell you which options apply to you.

Do I need to visit your office?

No. We guide students anywhere in India by phone, video and WhatsApp. You're welcome at our Chennai office by appointment.

Do you guarantee admission or a visa?

No honest consultant can. Universities decide admissions and governments decide visas. We make sure your applications and visa file are as strong as they can be.

How does the education loan work?

Most families fund part of the cost themselves and the rest with an education loan that can cover tuition and living costs. We help you compare banks and NBFCs and prepare the loan documents. Sanction usually takes a few weeks, so start early.

How long does the whole process take?

Usually 3 to 6 months from your first call to your visa, depending on the university and intake. Apply early: offers and scholarships go first to early applicants.

Can my parents be part of the process?

Yes. Parents can join the counselling call, get the full cost sheet in rupees, and receive WhatsApp updates at every stage.
