Set to go Abroad for Higher Education

"Today, Youngistan does not mind shelling out lakhs of rupees, travelling that extra mile, but they definitely want the best of education. Whether it's in the US or India, there are no boundaries for them"

While the US has always been the top education destination for many international students due to various reasons, students feel an international degree carries a lot of weightage. Moreover, the quality of education is much better compared

to some Indian institutions.


Good laboratories, inspiring guides and job opportunities are the major attractions for a foreign PhD. Interestingly, besides opting for the usual engineering and management courses, students are looking at pursuing other courses like graphic design, molecular science, Arts, law and humanities.
