With India's rapid growth in population, the job requirement increases and hence the need for quality education enhances. As the technologies grow, getting above 90% is a common feat and thus the admissions into top-notch Indian Universities have become very difficult for students. With Delhi University announcing their 100% cut-off rate and IIT's choosing even between the multiple toppers in IIT-JEE, the other students have no other option but to settle for mediocre or private education which does not provide a satisfying degree or eats up your pockets. But don't worry, getting a 90% will get you into an esteemed foreign university given the right research, time, and an impressive application.



Why is Foreign Education better?



There are several factors to consider if you decide to study abroad, these might help you:





  • The main reason to prefer foreign education is because of the latest curriculum, evolving even with minor changes which can tremendously increase your employability rate and skillset. Universities with the latest curriculum provide new technological methods of teaching and a lot of hands-on exposure to students that help to easily glide into their careers.




  • If you are looking for course options other than the mainstream ones (because mainstream courses usually have the least employability rate and highest students to job ratio), Foreign Universities can deliver a wide variety of educational courses depending on the field you choose to go to.




  • Even for mainstream options, research in foreign universities is furnished and funded by recognized billion-dollar companies like Microsoft, Google, etc. which gives you more sight into the company standards and may even get you an internship.




  • Going to a foreign country expands your knowledge and makes you more open-minded to the opportunities and ideas the world has to offer. It increases your social skills and lets you meet new people, increasing your contacts and getting you better employability skills.




  • If you are worried about the cost, there are hundreds and thousands of scholarships to choose from that suits your needs, skills, and capability. Just make sure that you maintain the required CGPA. Besides this, many foreign universities also provide work-study options.




  • Because foreign universities provide multiple courses, specializations, and the option to change your minor streams, the employability rate increases. Furthermore, foreign universities themselves bring in lots of high-end companies for on-campus counselling and placements





Confused About How To Start With Your Journey?



Firstly, you should decide on your course and what exactly you would want to be doing 05 or 10 years from now. A proper mindset is always required to achieve anything. After you are sure about the course you would like to pursue, you can proceed with finding out a university that is best suited for you.





  • When choosing a university to apply to, many factors come into record such as employability rate, reputation, placements, cost of living in that country, facilities, opportunities, etc. You can narrow down your top 50-70 universities from this list.




  • Start preparing extensively for the required tests you need to take to get into the course/ university. These may be GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, PTE, SAT, ACT, etc. The cut-off percentage or CGPA will vary according to the University's status, so make sure you get the required scores to make your admission process smooth.




  • Prepare all the required applications and documents well in advance to prevent any confusion at the time of the application process. Your application should stand out and be unique. include your skillset (coding, leadership skills, etc.), achievements, research experience, etc. Keeping it short and precise is the key. Get a good recommendation letter from your professor/ teacher that understands ad recognizes you professionally.




  • Send in your applications well before the given deadline. Some colleges include interviews for which you will have to prepare, having contacts with a few seniors is a good way to get an upper hand in such interviews.





Once you're done with all this, just sit back and relax but at the same time research about scholarships and search up for the student visa requirements in the countries of the universities you have applied to. GOOD LUCK!!!!
