Many study aspirants face denial or they simply miss out on the deadline. So, Gradding came up with an innovative solution to this problem. These are “hybrid study abroad programs”. On 20th July 2024, we organized a hybrid education fair where the aspiring students had a chance of 1-1 interaction with the experts. Since it was hybrid, 418+ students walked into our office premises and over 48 joined the webinar. The experts gave insights on these smart programs highlighting the completion of the first semester in India and other consecutive semesters in their dream land. This doubles the study visa success rate and eliminates the denial chances. However, many costs are eradicated such as the living expenses for the first semester, and fees of various entrance exams like language proficiency tests and technical tests. 300+ UG courses and 35+ PG programs in leading nations like the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Australia are covered under these hybrid study abroad programs. The key highlights of the events are:

This session where the smart programs were introduced was a solution for many study abroad aspirants. These courses have 6 intakes which are double the intakes in top nations. For example, if you want to study in the UK and somehow you missed the deadline. Technically, you have to wait for another year since the desired course is unavailable. But here is a twist. You can now save one year of academic gap by signing up for these smart programs. This allows you to study the desired course from your dream university. The classes will start online, and you can take them from the comfort of your home saving a lot of money and time.
However, many things from the dream journey are eliminated. These include language proficiency tests like IELTS, DET, TOEFL or PTE, and technical exams like SAT, GRE or GMAT. Similarly, a statement of purpose and a letter of recommendation are not required. The drafting of these academic documents needs a lot of time and appointments. In addition to this, the study visa denial rate tends to be null as the profile becomes very strong which results in 2× success rate. This is so because the student has already completed one semester of the desired program.
