Why These Destinations?
Germany attracts students with its policy of free public university education and an open job market. Ireland offers student-friendly visa rules and ample post-study work opportunities. The UAE is appealing due to its rapidly growing job market, while Singapore is favored for its postgraduate programs and proximity to India.
Economic Advantages Abroad
The economic benefits of studying abroad are significant, with average annual salaries for graduates in the US ranging from Rs 53.95 lakh to Rs 95.45 lakh, compared to Rs 5.8 lakh to Rs 10.8 lakh in India.
