Indian students explore the globe for higher studies

The Hindu  

In the early 2000s, as the IT industry boomed in Bengaluru, it also set the trend of engineering students going abroad for higher studies, mainly to the United States and Canada. Slowly, as decades rolled, the United Kingdom and Australia also emerged as top countries for higher education as even non-engineering students in streams like pure science, marketing and management hopped on flights. Educational consultants have noticed that students now prefer non-traditional destinations like Ireland, Germany, smaller European countries, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, Russia, and even China. With the job market reaching near saturation levels in traditional destinations, many students have found that even if they get placed in the US or the UK, the companies transfer them to countries like the UAE, smaller European countries or even back to India. But even in smaller countries like Cyprus, which is preferred by students of hotel management and other management streams, universities offer quality education with excellent English-speaking faculty,” Farhan explained.
