Students need to take the Vaccination while applying for study abroad in many countries and documents must be produced during Visa, Travel and accommodation options must be finalized in many countries and proof of such can be asked by Visa Officer. Medical counseling service (M.C.S) team prepares our student to tackle all these issues and many more by educating them about the Do’s & Don’ts.
