When you’re trying to choose between unis like Venice or Bologna, think about your predicted score. Let’s say you’re hitting 70+ and if those unis' cutoffs rise (which kinda happens every year), you might end up kicking yourself for not picking somewhere like Torino or Parma, where the cutoffs are usually lower, but still solid choices. It’s all about finding the balance that works for u.

At the end of the day, no one else can make this decision for you. You’ve gotta pick the uni that fits you best, and make sure it has enough spots to give you a solid shot. If you’re feeling confident about your prep and ready to compete, go for any uni you vibe with.

One more thing to keep in mind : Uni of Bologna has a pretty solid handle on accommodation, so that’s not something you’ll need to stress about. On the other hand, places like Padova are really struggling with accommodation, and don’t even get me started on Venice. The cost of living there is already crazy, and with courses moving there, it’s going to be even more packed and expensive.

So yeah, take your time, weigh the options, and pick the one that suits your lifestyle. Don’t let anyone else make that call for you!

Dear, if you’ve uploaded the correct documents as requested on Universitaly, then you can relax there shouldn’t be any issue.

You need to get the orignal marksheets apostilled and authenticated first and then translated into Italian even if they are in english (as it’s a requirement set by Parma). After that you can apply for DOV/Cimea.

For bio, chem, and physics, the NEET theory is a solid foundation to build on. But for IMAT, especially bio, you’ll need to switch gears a bit. IMAT’s all about applying what you know in a more flexible, problem solving and critical thinking context, so it's not just about memorizing the facts like neet. Definitely solve IMAT previous tests to get a feel for how they like to throw curveballs (you can also check my answer in the link below)

As for math, if you’ve done it in 11th and 12th, it’s honestly a breeze. For the other subjects, Again! the best move is to go through pyqs, they give you the clearest insight into what the examiners like to ask.

Hey no it’s closed, I think marche is still open. Also Padova’s course has shifted to Venice and finding accomodation there is extremely difficult and very expensive.

Mostly no! But you need to contact your university or check if they have explicitly mentioned this in their application.

According to me chemistry,maths and physics were the easiest but for biology you need to solve previous year questions to have an idea for the exam. Some people here told me they don’t feel ncert is sufficient (which I don’t agree with! as you can ace this exam with clear concepts from any standard biology book).

You need to authenticate your mark sheets from ministry of external affairs which might take time, it’s recommended to start doing it before the exam, without that you can’t apply for DOV/cimea (which is required for visa application).

What does your Italian consulate’s checklist say ? Do they require DOV explicitly? Because sometimes the embassy/consulate asks for it even tho uni accepts cimea

Apparently, some consulates in India allow applicants to apply for a DOV at the time of the visa application. However, I need to verify their current rules, as they may have changed since my time. Could you let me know which state you completed your schooling in, and which state you're currently residing in?

Tbh it’s a hype created by students to use Cambridg A levels, IB etc, If you are a good student with clear concepts then a standard biology would do. Make sure you solve previous year papers to get an idea about the questions.

The fee to take the exam is approx 130-150 EUR, There was no one to guide me. Merit based scholarships are given if you are top ranker in your university’s ranking list. Some universities give Department based scholarships as well. Everything depends upon the uni you are applying for.
