As per the UNESCO’s Institute of Statistics, the number of Indian students studying abroad is approximately above 3, 00,000. India is the second largest source of international students after China. Apart from USA, UK, and Canada, Indian students are now increasingly choosing to study in Australia, New Zealand, France and Germany as well. The most applied for courses include Business Management and Engineering which is then followed by Computer Science and IT.
India has seen an immense increase in the number of students flying abroad to pursue higher education in the recent years. The reasons for this are varied and differ from person to person.
Innumerable Options To Study Abroad Rather than In India: One of the major reasons why Indian students choose to study abroad is because they fail to find a course/program that best suits their interest back here in India. There are many courses which aren’t available in the country. However, there are nth number of courses and programs available abroad. Every Indian student is sure to find a course of his/her choice in different countries. This is why Indian students search for the course available outside of India.
Top Quality Education: As some of the best and top ranking universities of the world known for providing high quality education are situated outside the nation, students aspire to study abroad. Most of the universities abroad offer rich, in-depth knowledge to its students making them career ready. Such universities churn out intellects and opens up brighter avenues for them. This is one of the many crucial reasons why Indian students choose to study abroad.
Global Exposure: Studying abroad enables students to meet new people from different backgrounds providing exposure to the Indian students. Gaining exposure is very important for an overall personality development. It helps students in broadening their vision and mind set. By studying abroad, Indian students will be able to study and understand the global scenario from various perspectives. As many students belonging to different nationalities meet each other in a foreign land, exchange of ideas, opinions, and culture takes place. Global exposure also exposes students to ample amount of opportunities.
High Employment Prospects: Achieving a degree from abroad not just increases but boosts your job and career prospects to greater heights thereby providing higher salaries. Recruiters these days are willing to appoint those holding rich educational qualification. Your international degree thus has immense potential in adding high value and weightage to your resume which in turn increases job prospects. This is another reason why studying abroad can be beneficial.
Working and Living Abroad: Another reason why Indian students today are choosing to study abroad is to gain international work experience. Some countries enable their international students to work for a period ranging from 1-3 years to gain hands on industry work experience after the completion of their course. For this though, students must make sure they comply with the visa rules of the particular countries they are studying in. Many a times it so happens that these Indian students decide to stay back in the country and live there after acquiring the PR (Permanent Residency) Visa.
Intensive Research Opportunities: Research opportunities are abundant in foreign countries. Those wanting to study subjects that involve carrying out research, must definitely go abroad to study as the universities provide the apt infrastructure such as lab facilities, better prospects and also the faculty of these international universities provides immense support and assistance to its students.
Self-Growth and Development: Above all, studying abroad in a foreign land fosters one’s personal development. By meeting new people, studying in a new environment, adopting ethics, values and culture of new people and place, working and adapting to a complete new atmosphere, a person is bound to grow and develop. Studying abroad boosts one’s confidence, makes one not just educated but also literate, teaches one to groom and conduct self in competitive and professional spaces.
