Step One
Convince yourself, why you want to go abroad, ask yourself what your ambitions are and where you see yourself in the future. Does your life and career goal support your need to go abroad for higher studies? You need to take this seriously and need to put your head into it, because there is a lot of money which is going to be invested on you and you need to make complete use of it .It takes some deep self-reckoning, but it has to be done to really answer whether it’s worth it or not.

Step Two
Finance. You are going to have to sit and talk seriously about this approx. 22000 pound per year, for the next 3 years investment in yourself with your parents/Guardians.It is probably the most important part. Finances include your tuition fees, accommodation, living and social expenses, stationary expenses etc.

*The elite colleges charge more. Example : oxford charges 16000 Pounds for Economics*
If they haven't agreed, it's completely fine, you could save up all that money and live your life in college somewhere else or be smarter and invest in a business or the stock market. It is no way possible to pay for your education by yourself.
* NRI : The maximum amount Indian banks allow on education loan for an university abroad is 20 laks (22000 GBP) which may be able to cover up to an year's expenses. Not completely sure of this but do look into it *
If they have agreed, congrats and continue to step 3
Always remember that finances are an extremely important criteria and you must have a credible financial support structure for you and your guardians to both sustain their lives normally without one burdening the another. Never take a massive loan or overburden yourselves to study abroad. Yes, there are benefits of studying abroad, but one has to keep finances in mind.

Step three
Know the UCAS. The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service is the Birtish admission service for students applying to universities in the UK. It is the centralized center for all admissions into UK universitiesDo check out their website - UCAS
How It works ?
You can submit the online form between the 1st of September and the 15th January. However, the closing date for applications to the University of Oxford, Cambridge and courses in medicine, dentistry and veterinary science or veterinary medicine is 15th October. The sad fact that makes UK different from most other countries - You can only apply to a maximum 5 universities and only 4 for medicine, Dentistry, and veterinary sciences.
Once you have completed your application;. There are three possible responses to your application:
- C - Conditional offer
- U - Unconditional offer
- R - Reject
Conditional offer - This offer is when the university has given you a conditional place based on your previous academic merit and achievement. The conditions usually consist of a particular set of grades which need to be achieved to confirm your seat in college.
Unconditional offer - A very rare offer given to exceptional students who due to their excellent record have received a guaranteed offer from the university and can join as soon as their term is over.
