Questions about this kit

What is the difference between Type A and Type B?

Type A goes through your country's dispatching authority and the Chinese embassy; Type B goes through one Chinese university. The guide explains both and the confirmed country details.

Is there a Type A route for India or Bangladesh?

We could not confirm one for 2026/2027. The guide tells you which pages to check and how Type B through universities works.

Does the kit include a sample study plan?

No. The kit gives you questions, structures and checks so that your study plan is authentic and your own.
