Hello peeps! 
I received my passport today with visa stamped in it. I thought I should share the list of docs which I had submitted so others can be benefited from it too. Please note, I did not consult with any agent or consultant whatsoever at any point. I did my own research and interrogation using internet and that’s it.

I wish you all a very good luck for your application processing. Just keep in mind that you fill your applications properly and completely without leaving any question blank. And take time and collect all the documents properly. I had received my LOA in December, but I did not rush to apply for visa. I collected each and every document with patience and applied when I was 100% assured with myself. All the required information is already available on the internet, you just have to take time and look for it. Everything can be done by our own selves without any need of a third person.
Take time and make a good SOP, this is the key to convince VO that you will return back to India after your studies. Check it properly w.r.t. grammar and content.
Lastly, I would advise you that don’t submit your application till YOU yourself are satisfied and confident with it. And after submission, be patient because it will take around 15 days to get a decision (provided that your application was perfectly fine).
Good luck!
