Frequently Asked Questions — MS/PhD in UAE from Chandigarh
What are the top universities to study in the UAE for Indian students from Chandigarh?
The UAE has branch campuses of globally ranked universities including Heriot-Watt University Dubai, University of Birmingham Dubai, Middlesex University Dubai, Murdoch University Dubai, RIT Dubai, SP Jain School of Global Management, Manipal University Dubai and BITS Pilani Dubai. For research programmes, Khalifa University (Abu Dhabi) and University of Sharjah are prominent. New Cambridge College at Sector 17 Chandigarh advises students on the right UAE campus for their academic profile.
Is studying in the UAE cheaper than studying in the UK or USA?
Yes — significantly. Tuition at UAE campuses of UK and Australian universities is typically 40–60% lower than the same programme at the home campus. Living costs in Dubai are comparable to major UK cities but significantly higher than most Indian cities. For students who are already in or planning to relocate to the UAE, the combined tuition and living cost is very competitive.
Can Indian students from Punjab get a job in the UAE after completing their degree?
Yes. Indian graduates from UAE university campuses are well-positioned for employment in Dubai and Abu Dhabi’s growing sectors — finance, consulting, technology, hospitality, retail and real estate. The UAE has the world’s largest Indian professional community. Many students from Chandigarh and Punjab use UAE study as a direct entry point to UAE employment.
What English test is required for UAE universities?
IELTS 5.5–6.5 is required by most UAE universities depending on the programme level. TOEFL is also accepted. Some UAE campuses accept the Duolingo English Test. New Cambridge College provides IELTS and TOEFL coaching at Sector 17 Chandigarh — test preparation is coordinated alongside UAE university admissions.
What is the UAE Golden Visa for students?
The UAE Golden Visa is a 10-year renewable residence permit. Students with a secondary school grade of 95%+ or a university GPA of 3.8+ from accredited UAE or international universities can apply. It provides long-term UAE residence without employer sponsorship and includes multiple re-entry rights and family sponsorship.
How does New Cambridge College help students from the tricity apply to UAE universities?
New Cambridge College at Sector 17 Chandigarh provides IELTS and TOEFL coaching alongside UAE admissions support — campus shortlisting, SOP writing, application preparation and visa documentation guidance. The UAE is a 3-hour flight from Chandigarh making it the closest international study option. New Cambridge College counsellors advise on the right UAE campus for each student’s academic profile and career goals.
What is the UAE student visa process for Indian students?
UAE university campuses sponsor student visas directly. After accepting your offer and providing required documents (passport, academic certificates, IELTS/TOEFL scores, medical fitness certificate), the university submits your UAE Student Residence Visa application to the UAE immigration authority (GDRFA Dubai or ICA Abu Dhabi). Processing takes 2–4 weeks. On arrival, students complete biometrics for their Emirates ID.
Is it possible to study in the UAE after Class 12 from Chandigarh or Punjab?
