Top 3 reasons why Indians prefer to study abroad


India, which has a population of over 1.2 billion, is a top contender for sending its students abroad among other Asian countries like China. Though India itself is home to many prestigious colleges and universities, like the IITs and IIMs, yet many youngsters today are venturing out of their motherland to pursue higher studies abroad.
At YesVidya, our team of researchers and consultants are often asked about what propels young folks to go abroad. We have compiled some salient reasons below:
  1. More course choices – Irrespective of how quickly India is progressing, traditional courses are still preferred over unconventional ones. These courses are considered “guaranteed employment” courses that drive most Indian parents to push their children to take it up. Some such courses are typically science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

One of the major reasons many students today want to study abroad is because their choice of study hasn’t gained momentum or isn’t yet popular in India! Even if you come across some colleges and universities providing these courses, these institutions lack the expertise to place their students for better job opportunities.

However, there are a lot of options to access such less-explored and unusual courses in countries like the US, UK, Canada. 

  1. Admission accessibility: In India, due to its huge population, lakhs and lakhs of students contend aggressively to achieve their dream jobs. Admissions to top-tier colleges are highly competitive with very fewer seats. Moreover, let us not forget the tough entrance exams that one needs to pass to get admitted to these courses. These days, if you have the academic holding and are financially secured, you can escape this rat race and study your dream course abroad. As the admission procedure is reasonably easier, these days Indian students prefer to study abroad.

  2. Immigration: Most Indian students pursue a foreign course mostly because they want to settle abroad. These days, countries like Canada and the US are welcoming more and more immigrants into their homeland by alluring them with lucrative job prospects. A recent study has shown that 80% of students from Asian countries prefer to continue living abroad after completing their graduate studies.
Studying abroad is considered as a golden opportunity by most Indians to stay ahead in the game. If you want to discuss your scope or need help with your application process, YesVidya is here for you. Contact us today for one of our in-depth consultations.
