In 2023, the demand for overseas education surged, with a substantial increase in the number of Indian students choosing to pursue higher education abroad. Recent data indicates that approximately 8,50,000 Indian students are enrolled in universities and colleges across the “big four” destinations: the US, Canada, the UK, and Australia.

Breaking down this enrollment further, it is observed that the following is the distribution:
Postgraduate Programs: Postgraduate courses accounted for 60% of the total student population. These students sought advanced degrees such as master’s and doctoral programs.

UG and PG Diploma Courses: A significant 25% of students opted for undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate (PG) diploma courses. These shorter-term programs provide specialized knowledge and practical skills.

Undergraduate Studies: Undergraduate students constituted 15% of the total enrollment. They pursued bachelor’s degrees across various disciplines.

The allure of quality education, global exposure, and career prospects continues to drive Indian students toward international universities.

In 2024, we will see similar growth in overseas recruitment with much broader bases and the development of a larger number of destinations.

If you are planning to take higher education abroad, reach out to us at sp.mishra@indiacareercentre.com or +919963300577 for comprehensive guidance in the process.

Planning to study abroad involves several crucial stages. We can break down the process into 8 steps:

Counselling:
Seek advice from a study abroad consultant. They provide information about university options, admission processes, scholarships, visa requirements, and other essential aspects. Consultants help you identify the right course, country, and university based on your academic background, preferences, and budget.

Course, Country, & University Selection:
Research and choose the course, country, and university that align with your academic goals. Consider factors such as curriculum, faculty, facilities, cost of living, language requirements, cultural norms, and weather conditions.

Standardized Test Preparation:
Many universities require English language proficiency tests (such as IELTS or TOEFL) and standardized exams (like the GRE or GMAT). Prepare well in advance by enrolling in test preparation courses, taking practice tests, and using study materials.

Admission and Acceptance:
Apply to your chosen university. Follow their admission guidelines and submit the required documents. Await acceptance letters and respond promptly.

Application for Scholarships:
Explore scholarship opportunities. Apply for scholarships based on merit, need, or specific criteria. Scholarships can significantly reduce your financial burden.

Arrange Your Finances:
Understand the cost of tuition, accommodation, and living expenses.
Explore funding options, including personal savings, loans, sponsorships, and scholarships.

Visas, Entry Papers, and Passports:
Apply for a student visa in your chosen country. Gather necessary documents, attend interviews, and follow the visa process. Ensure your passport is valid throughout your study period.

Departure Preparations and Essentials:
Book flights, arrange accommodations, and plan your arrival. Familiarize yourself with local customs, health insurance, emergency contacts, and essential items to carry.
