Bindu Mary Idicula has spent over 20 years in international education, writing on three areas that students from India navigate across every study abroad destination: standardised tests, course selection and application documents. She covers TOEFL, SAT, ACT, OET, GRE and GMAT, writes on standalone course guides across disciplines, and covers the application documents students need including Letters of Recommendation, Statements of Purpose, academic essays and CVs.
Her articles are written around the questions Indian students consistently ask during consultations. Which test gives a student from India the best chance at a particular university. How preparation timelines work for students coming from Indian schooling systems. What a particular course looks like for Indian applicants across different countries. What makes an SOP stand out for an Indian student applying to an international institution. These are the specifics that generic guides do not address.
Her articles across the AECC platform have been read over 650,000 times. The breadth of topics she covers reflects the range of questions Indian students bring to consultations, from which exam to take first to how to write a CV that works for an international university application. She holds an MBA in Marketing and is based at AECC's Tamil Nadu offices.
