Undergrad abroad: Why some are choosing foreign universities over IIT

The Hindu  

Sindhu has always been an exceptional student, excelling in equal measure both in academics and extracurricular activities. It is reflective of a growing trend where an increasing number of Indian students are opting to study abroad for undergrad due to the immense competition and limited opportunities in India’s higher education landscape. Why parents are looking abroad While the competition for seats at top Indian institutions is intense, the rigid structure of undergraduate programs at many Indian universities is also a significant factor driving students abroad. This narrow academic focus often discourages students from pursuing their true academic passions, especially when compared to universities abroad, where diverse fields of study and a holistic education approach offer a more enriching experience. This stark difference in funding enables universities abroad to provide state-of-the-art research facilities, world-class faculty, and cutting-edge educational opportunities that are often lacking in Indian institutions, particularly at the undergraduate level.
