I have an offer for Meng Program from a University. Please tell me what are the chances of getting a study visa.
My timeline is
2017 - Graduated
2018 - Feb to 2019 - Feb (Job in an IT company)
2019(March) - 2020 (June) (Online courses through Coursera)

I would like to know whether my visa will get visa get rejected due to gaps in education without employment if so how can I convince the visa officer regarding the gaps in education. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is a bit off that you were not working to take coursers courses but it shouldn’t be a huge negative. Was there an another reason you weren’t working? It will depend one your marks during your bachelors degree.

Thanks for answering. I felt that there was no scope in the job I was doing and my career was getting stagnated I wanted to learn new skills/subjects that is the only reason I quit my job to pursue online courses and MS.

1year gap doesnt effect much. Anyway you have completed some online courses to coverup the gap.

Visa acceptance depends upon :

Academics & ielts score

Previous course aligned to further studies or not

Financials docs, GIC (asset evaluation, ITR)

Motive to move back to india after course
Completion (should be conveyed through SOP)
