How to get into Oxford University from India | Meet Somesh!

Hi everyone! In today's video, I'm going to break down How to get into Oxford University from India - with the help of Somesh Taori. Somesh is a student from Gurgaon, India. He will be studying Law at Oxford, one out of two students from India selected for the course. He is an exceptionally diligent student and with every question, he made applying to the UK and OxBridge applications far clearer for me - and I hope he can do the same for you too!

In this video, we discuss Oxford vs Cambridge University, how to crack standardised tests like the LNAT, how to ace your Oxford or Cambridge Interview, and lightly brush over the Statement of Purpose for UCAS as well.

Hey guys!! A few caveats to make. Somesh didn't go to any private counsellor for support, he did it all by himself :) Also, everything he expressed here is his opinion - based off of his experiences and insights as an OxBridge applicant! If you're applying, please back these points up by your research done on your own part. HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE VIDEEOOOO

I knew it! Shaurya has a twin brother! (Seriously, both of you look similar😂)

[adinemoof]

As a JEE aspirant I sometimes feel down as any student would and my mind narrows down to this one fine line of getting into an IIT, but your video pops up and tells me that life gives you other ways. Thanks man, you're doing a great work

[uttaraiyer]

You can only imagine the number of increase in applicants to UK or US colleges after Shaurya’s videos 😀😀😀

I'm the *history of art girl* Somesh was talking about at 30:39. But my course is Fine Art and not History of Art. Thank you for my 3 seconds of fame! :)

[nissrini]

[thegirlnamedashmita]

This is what is called interview. He described each and every process breaking into small parts. Please make a video in political science in the same level of interview. It is incredible. How he gave his english proficiency certificate to oxford like in application process or in mail? He didn't mention this. Please answer me, I am really looking for this thing all-round the clock.
