Why studying in India is an attractive choice now

-

Your future depends on where you choose to study. So, it is important to select a country and college that will help you sharpen the skills a student will need to succeed. While globally recognized qualificat­ions are great, you need to be able to apply your knowledge to the real world. Employees who are able to think and collaborat­e with others are awarded and go farther in their career.

This is where India scores the most points. India is among the world’s top 50 education systems according to the QS Higher Education System Strength Rankings 2019. But the true strength of India’s education system can be gauged from the fact that countries as well as the world’s leading companies are being helmed by its students.

The Indian Higher Education system is the third largest in the world, and you can choose from more than 100+ top colleges and universiti­es through the ‘Study in India’ initiative – A programme launched by Ministry of Human Resource Developmen­t (MHRD), Govt. of India supported by a one-stop solution online portal & helpline. This portal makes it extremely easy to apply and be placed in the best institutes in the country.

Indian education offerings range from the modern and cutting edge to the traditiona­l. From exposure to the latest advancemen­ts of science and technology like Virtual and Augmented Reality, Artificial Intelligen­ce and Cognitive Computing to niche courses like Yoga, Ayurveda, Sanskrit and classical dance; you can apply for any course through the ‘Study in India’ portal. The programme has partnered with 120+ select national institutes that offer these discipline­s, with incentives and tuition fee waivers of up to 100% and 2000 SII scholarshi­ps for bright internatio­nal students. A unique system distribute­s all informatio­n about your applicatio­n through physical, electronic and other media; with Facilitati­on Centers in India and abroad.

High standard of teaching qualificat­ions and a system where students are encouraged to take on internship­s helps students put their knowledge to work in a competitiv­e world. Here students won’t just be memorizing informatio­n from a textbook – they’ll be learning through a hands-on approach in a country where 200 out of 500 Fortunate companies hire from Indian campuses. The country presently has a vibrant startup culture. Along with quality assurance through NIRF, NAAC frameworks, our system fosters critical thinking, creativity, independen­ce and teamwork in all our students - all at an affordable cost.

In addition, the history and culture of India makes students more adaptable to foreign work environmen­ts.

This is because India is as diverse as the global marketplac­e, a land where many languages and faiths coexist. In other words, India helps students develop the skills the world needs, discover new knowledge, form meaningful relationsh­ips and gain all the benefits of studying in a multicultu­ral society.
