More than 7.7 Lakh Indian students went abroad to study in 2022 [Education ministry data]. It is a six year high!
When we were young, there were hardly any avenues to foray into, we kind of mostly just selected the stream our sibling did… The university he or she attended. End of story.
This generation has an influx of information which leads to influx of choices and an increasing problem of making the right pick.
Once they decide the career (if ever dedicated and inclined enough to do it by grade 9th) They ponder on future university options. As mentioned in the article by the director on this website, the student must prepare way in advance if he wishes to travel abroad. He/she must have an impressive bio.
The right college/university has to be a perfect combination of faculty, facilities, infrastructure and quality of students absorbed, to make it an enriching experience for the student to achieve best exposure and success in individual fields.
Indian law says, a person who is 18 years of age is an adult. The right age to travel for education is post 18. The student by this time is old enough to take care of his or her own finances, psychology and physiology in a ubiquitous manner.
The student has understood and judged his city, state and country’s attitudes; vices and virtues by experience and observation. The individual is ready and ripe to imbibe only what he/she gleans is appropriate and ignore the rest, resulting in optimum advantage irrespective of the country/city he heads to for further study.
The most striking upside of going to another country for education post adulthood is the vistas that open for careers in any country they choose as a result of their maturity, exposure, better judgment and polished decision-making abilities.
Stay Focussed!
