No difference, But if you are in Mumbai go for British council because my friend got complimentary snacks and the center was on the 38th floor so he got a beautiful view of Cuffe Parade and I didn't :)

Lol :D yes you are right, even I appeared over there ! Complementary biscuits + one hot tea ! I was expecting a lunch as well lol :) but that wasn't complementary.


Well, generally it is believed that IDP is little bit easy only when it comes to marking as they do not tend to round cut half percentage (unlike BC). I must say that I have NO basis or proved facts to justify my claim. It's more like a hearsay story.


Disclosure:

-I appeared on part of BC.

-My speaking topic was : “Reason for community lack of interest in understanding the importance of historical places and Possible ways to maintain historical places and to create awareness among peoples in large”

Lol :D After reading this topic my whole body was cold enough to freeze right there. And I was just blank but somehow I jussssssttttt manage those 5 minutes.

Hi,


Yes, it’s a good University (not very good but holds a good reputation locally). I have noticed that you are aspiring for some Graduate Diploma in Business. Well, I do not know anything about thing particular course, but I can talk more on British Columbia. I always believe that British Columbia is the BEST province to study and live in Canada. Great weather with mild winter. Nearby international city is Vancouver (consistently rated as the World’s best city to live!).

I am not sure if its your first attempt or second one.


Good luck.

If your mailing address is in Punjab, Haryana (few northern districts only), Himachal Pradesh thn no matter even if you apply at CHC Delhi, your file will be revert back to CHC Chandigarh.

I can say you may be correct mate because I got an 8.5 I honestly didn't expect to score that much :)
