Leaving paperwork to the last minute equals major headaches. There is a list of important documents that are required while applying for a university. This list may vary, depending from university to university and country to country. However, in general, universities will require documents such as mark sheets of 10th to graduation, an updated resume, at least three letters of recommendation, Statement of Purpose, and experience letters if interned or worked. You must also have completed English proficiency tests like IELTS, TOEFL etc. and aptitude tests like GMAT, GRE, depending on university's preference.
