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.
