AI Match is live in beta at alphaabroad.com/match. A student answers four short steps: study level, last qualification and result, English test and budget, then contact details. The engine checks that profile against the requirements we publish on each destination page and returns a result page that lists every rule it checked.

What it checks

  • South Korea: HSC GPA 3.50 or above for a bachelor’s; a bachelor’s CGPA of 2.56 or above and a passing year of 2018 or later for selected master’s programs; HSC passing years 2023–2026 for language programs. IELTS 5.5, 6.0 and 7.0 map to tuition scholarships of up to 30%, 40% and 50% at selected universities. PTE is not accepted on the route we offer.
  • Finland: IELTS 6.0–6.5 for most programs, and tuition of roughly €8,000–18,000 a year before scholarships.
  • Cyprus: IELTS from 4.5 at selected universities, and tuition of roughly €5,000–10,000 a year.
  • Malta: we only publish general facts so far, so every Malta result is marked for a counselor check.

Three answers, never “guaranteed”

Each rule comes back as met, needs a check, or not yet. A destination with any “not yet” is shown as Not yet. One with open questions is Possible. One that clears every published rule is shown as Meets key requirements. We never print “eligible” or “guaranteed”: universities and embassies decide.

Why rules come first

Admission minimums are facts, not opinions, so they should not depend on a language model. Running them as plain rules makes the answer instant, repeatable and easy to audit. The language model comes after, to explain the result and plan the next steps. Our note on the LLM layer covers that part.

What happens to the profile

Every run is saved as a lead for our counselors with the rule check attached, so the first call starts with facts instead of twenty questions. The student gets a private result page they can bookmark and share with their family.
