Deported students can’t apply for admission to other US universities for 10 years

Hyderabad: Deported Indian students from US cannot reapply for admissions in other universities there unless the Centre comes to their rescue and convinces the US government. These students face a ban ranging from five to 10 years.

Even those students who opted for Silicon Valley University and North Western Polytechnic University and deferred their travel plans to the US fearing deportation cannot shift to other universities now since the admissions for the spring semester have concluded. They have to wait till August/September 2016 for fresh admissions in the US.

Meanwhile, the students are looking at Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the UK to pursue higher studies. Even for these countries, these students have to wait till the second half of 2016.

While admission session in Canada will be during May/June, Australia/New Zealand offers admissions during June/July and UK during Sept./ Oct. Normally, US universities have two intakes for admission purposes, namely Fall and Spring semesters.

Fall semester starts in late August and ends in late December or early January whereas the Spring semester begins in January and ends in early May.
