Graduating from a top UK university should feel like opening doors and not hitting walls. For the approximately 166,000 Indian students currently pursuing education in Britain, the largest international student group in the country, the reality after graduating with their hard-earned degrees has become increasingly frustrating.  Despite investing thousands of pounds in their education, many Indian students and their families find themselves sending out job applications that s

A short answer to this long-standing question is yes, extracurricular activities do play a significant role in your admissions process. Now, here’s the longer answer: Undoubtedly, a strong academic record will help your application stand out from the crowd. But here's the catch. Take a moment to ponder upon how many of your fellow applicants will have excellent grades in their academic record, too. This is especially the case for the top schools in the country. The best acade

The Optional Practical Training (OPT) is an important and most sought-after pathway for international students in the USA who seek to then work in the country. Initially, it began as a short-term skill development initiative, however the program now allows holders of the F-1 visa to work in the US for up to 3 years after completing their STEM degrees. This pathway is also particularly significant for Indian students who make up a substantial portion of STEM graduates in US un

Indian student applications to colleges in the USA from India have dropped by a whopping 14% this year. It is the first decline since 2020 and one of the largest yet. The American dream now appears to be slipping away. This data is extracted from Common App, a unified system that more than 1,100 American universities rely on to process international applications.  Overall international applications fell 9% by November compared to last year. India, the largest source of foreig

The decision to pursue higher education abroad is, by no means, a minor one. Students spend months deliberating over which university to apply to, which program to select and which intake period would best suit their academic trajectory. Perhaps, one could work on an entirely new article about the human propensity for students to apply to universities without checking the intake dates. For those eyeing the United Kingdom as their study destination, the University of East Lond

For aspiring Indian students hoping to study overseas, 2025 has been a year of uncertainties. If you're nodding along, you're not alone. Thousands of Indian students are discovering that sometimes the best opportunities come from looking beyond the obvious choices. While countries like the US and UK tighten their visa policies and create bureaucratic mazes, Germany has quietly become a recent favourite among Indian students. The country is now a refreshing alternative that In

The Reserve Bank of India recently released data that should make all of us sit up and take notice. Between April and August 2025, Indian families sent just $1 billion abroad for their children's education. To put this in perspective, this is the lowest figure since 2017 and represents a staggering 58% drop from the post-pandemic peak of 2021. For those in international education, the writing is on the wall. The golden era of unfettered growth may be drawing to a close with I

Over the last decade, Australia has gradually scaled its way up to become one of the world's top study destinations. In fact, the most recent QS World University Rankings reiterate this very journey and it is clear why. Six Australian universities have made their way up to the global top 50 and should be on your radar. These institutions have offered Indian students some novel and emerging alternatives to conventional study abroad destinations such as the USA and UK. Why Aust

For those who have been following the international education space religiously, the recent policy changes announced by the United Kingdom is no surprise. The signs were there all along, and they're now reflecting in policy changes as well. However, for many aspiring Indian students and unassuming workers with plans to move to the country, the changes may come as a shock. The country that once welcomed global talent with open arms is now pulling up the drawbridge, and the cha

Saving lives is noble work. Being a doctor is regarded as one of the most respectable careers in India.  Each year, lakhs of Indian students attempt the NEET (National Eligibility Cum Entrance Test) examination to qualify for admission into MBBS programmes across the country. However, of late, the number of test takers has increased multifold. This has compromised the dreams of many aspirants.  But true dreams persevere, don't they? If you are someone who aspires to become a

The University of New Haven's announcement earlier this month is enough to make the entire sector pause and take notice. The University of New Haven has just given the nod to set up a branch campus in Saudi Arabia, the first of its kind in the Kingdom. Certainly, other universities may follow this path in the coming years but it's time to acknowledge what this achievement means for the middle eastern region and for international students out of Asia.  Global education is the

If you have been conditioned to believe that it is only Ivy League institutions that offer partial or full financial aid for international students, we're glad to prove you wrong with this article. Contrary to popular belief, there are plenty of tier one and tier two institutions in the States that offer generous financial support for promising candidates. These Universities offer all kinds of scholarships including those that are merit-based as well as need-based assistance.

The most sought-after countries to study overseas have tightened the screws on their doors. It's not harder to get in and get out. Certainly, this is no new headline. The USA and the UK have made it more challenging for Indian students to pursue international education within their borders. What is interesting here is the fact that despite this, the UK saw the most number of visa approvals from Indian students in the past year. As a matter of fact, the acceptance rate for the

If you've been following the international education space lately, inevitably and evidently you may have stumbled upon a pattern. The signs were there all along, and they're now reflecting on global rankings as well. The United States, the nation that gave hundreds of thousands of Indians the coveted 'American dream,' is now slipping through, all thanks to the astronomical visa costs and the uncertainty surrounding it. The golden ticket destination every Indian family has dre

When young students within the age group of 17-22 make the exciting and yet nerve-wracking call to move overseas in pursuit of newer, better opportunities for themselves, it can be difficult to cope. Specifically, the first few months after arrival are the most challenging. A new country, a strange culture and perhaps a language or an accent you don't make sense of just yet. Well, the good news is that it gets better, substantially.  The beginning of the road is bumpy and mak

With lakhs of Indian international students worldwide and September intake season approaching, thousands of students, as we speak, are finalizing their last-minute preparations for university abroad. As admissions offices across the globe welcome their largest annual cohorts, we've explored things that many students tend to miss in the critical final weeks just before departure.  Based on feedback from our international student community and pre-departure surveys, here are fi

This blog, as the name suggests, is an exhaustive and brief guide for medical aspirants. However, even before we get into the details, chances are that you are unaware of the existence of a country with such a name. But don't sweat it, you are not the only one. Half of the student population in India  have likely never heard of Kyrgyzstan. And this is perhaps why this promising country has seen so little enrollment into its programs. The country is one of the easiest to get i

For the millions of undergraduates who aspire to get into administration and allied careers such as finance, supply chain and marketing management, an MBA has proven to be the prime choice for years. And, for obvious reasons: it's lucrative and offers several electives and specializations. So, for the thousands that do get into the program out of a million aspirants, an MBA means business. More recently though, a newer program has riveted aspirants who were formerly headed fo

The IELTS (International English Language Testing System) is the most commonly attempted English-language test by students aspiring to pursue their higher education in English-speaking countries such as the USA, UK, Canada and Australia among others. The IELTS is segmented into four sub-tests, each assessing a basic skill: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking .  For many students taking up the IELTS, with prior knowledge in English, the first three parts seem workable. Bu

Getting your student visa sanctioned is the final and most important step in your study abroad journey. Many students tend to disregard this decisive process. Perhaps, they think to themselves, “ I’ve received an acceptance from the University of my dreams, what else matters now ?” Yes, the most difficult part of your study abroad journey is behind you. But your visa acceptance or rejection can either make or break your long-dreamt dreams.  Visa rejections are more common tha
