    For the majority universities abroad, Fall and Spring are the major intakes. While Fall is the most preferred, Spring is the next best option. Check out the difference below:

    Feature

    Fall Intake

    Spring Intake

    Begins

    September or October.

    January or February.

    Competition Level

    Very high, bigger class size

    Lesser than Fall, smaller class size

    Popularity Level

    Higher 

    Lower than Fall

    Accommodation

    Higher competition for housing (on and off campus)

    Easier to find housing

    Visa Processing

    May have longer visa processing times due to higher demand.

    Generally shorter visa processing times.

    Ideally, Fall is a more popular intake abroad, in comparison to Spring intake. More applicants apply for Fall, more courses are offered for admission in Fall and most of the top-ranking universities offer admission in Fall intake only. Spring intake is for those who have either missed their Fall application deadlines or those who have deferred their admissions.
