A student of Cambridge University who studied in my school told me not to give A levels privately coz even though universities accept private candidates, it will put me at a slight disadvantage over school candidates. Moreover, private candidates also face problems with things like transcripts, teacher's recommendation and predicted grades. So its beter to NOT give A levels privately if you wish to study abroad in countries like UK, USA, Canada, Singapore, Australia etc

Its a slight disadvantage. If you have good grades and apply to less selective universities, you won't have much problem. But remember, if you apply in extremely selective universities which rank in the top 30, this 'private' thing will create problems.

Doesn't matter. There is a no-discrimination policy and universities often have the option of applying under the category of home schooled, even the top universities. As long as you have the results they don't give a damn about that.

Of course they do accept it. Otherwise, private entry would not have been offered.

But what will be with the private candidate who is studying with best teachers of their sides and familar with all the criteria.

What about transcripts, predicted grades and teacher's recommendations?

Private candidates (similar to home schooled candidates) can still submit their official transcripts which follows the standard protocol with the graduation date, the courses taken, and an assessment of their performance (grades, comments etc.). This has to be signed by the school administrator, in this case the parents. It's the same with the predicted grades.
The teacher's recommendation must be written by a non-parent, an individual who taught the student in a formal setting but if there are none then the student must get the letter from an employer or an individual with whom he/she may have been involved in volunteer activity.

He completed his undergraduate in MIT and postgraduate from Harvard and now he is doing Phd in Cambridge. So its kinda hard to believe that he lied. He is really helpful. So you guys beter think twice about the 'private' thing before coming to a conclusion.
