The number of Indian students studying abroad is growing significantly high for the last few years. Especially, US, Germany, Canada and the UK are the most favorable and safe destinations for Indians. You must be wondering, why the students are so crazy about studying abroad? What are the factors that attract them to a foreign land? Let’s look at them briefly.
Why studying abroad?
The opportunity of working with great minds around the globe is the key thing. You also get to know a new culture, new people, experience new things that flourish your personality wholly. Apart from that, except NITs and IITs, most of the Indian institutes lack the attribute that has to be on a PG level course they offer. There are a very less number of scopes in India for a student wanting to learn humanities, anthropology, biotechnology, machine learning or fields similar to those. That’s why students prefer studying abroad for their masters.
What are the criteria’s?
Although every university has different criteria, these are the 3 categories it can be classified:
1. Academic performance: Your academic performance in the bachelors should meet their requirement.
2. English language: You have to be proficient English speaker. Some institutes also demand the IELTS test for it that too with some certain level score.
3. Course capacity: If the capacity of the intake is low and got full before you enroll, you may miss the opportunity even if you meet the above two criteria.
So, these are the criteria you must be well aware of before planning to study abroad.
Which are the countries I should choose from?
As said earlier, looking to the education and safety; the US, the UK, Canada, and Germany are the most favorite countries for studying abroad among Indians. But if you are worried about the cost you can also prefer other nations like Belgium, Hungary etc.
What to study?
The reputed foreign universities like the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge offers many courses. Among them, MBA, Law, Computer Science and IT, Medicine is very popular. There are also courses to study about Bible, Art, and Botany etc. The US based MIT offers a wide and deep range of courses like Natural language processing, computer networks, Operating systems engineering etc. You should select the courses according to your major in bachelors.
Opportunities after studies
