Advantages of studying abroad

1. Opportunity to get ‘PR’ 

India is a fast developing country whereas countries like USA, Canada, Europe and Australia have more evolved systems and infrastructure. The lure of a better career, developed infrastructure, facilities, and amenities attracts many students to find jobs in the countries where they have studied. Also, studying in those countries gives an edge to obtain jobs and permanent residency later. 

2. Better placement opportunities

Currently, India’s employability rate is 37% whereas USA and Canada have an employment rate of 58% and 60% respectively. Such stats motivate learners to explore jobs in these countries. Therefore, it is often seen that most students choose international universities for better placement opportunities.

3. Vast selection of programs and institutes

4. Exposure to various cultures

The cultural interface for international students serves as a gateway for diverse perspectives and experiences. It becomes a meeting point where different cultures converge, blend, and intertwine. It is a space where traditions, languages, and customs collide, creating an atmosphere of vibrant exchange and mutual learning. Through this interface, international students have the opportunity to broaden their horizons, challenge their assumptions, and embrace the richness of global diversity. 

5. Earnings while learning

Most university students work while they study at the campus. This varies from country to country, but on average students work 12-20 hours per week. Through this, they can manage their own living expenses and can even look after their tuition fees for further years.
