Hi. Right Question at the Right time. Abroad Education is Many students dream even today. May students are waiting for the right opportunity and the right people who can help them get their dream education abroad.
Corona is not permanent, it s just a bubble in the running water. We will pass this too. And the dreams of many will come true soon. We will incubate their dreams.
Just a matter of TIME.
Corona is a potent threat with implications on studies abroad. The virus has had a major impact in USA, UK, Australia, Germany , Spain and Italy the preferred destinations for Studies abroad by Indian Students. The Unknown Chinese scare would definitely rule out China as yet another destination for Studies. The irony is that the state of existing flux cannot be defined in attributes of timelines. There is a big question mark over opening of institutions in near future. Obviously the admission process which starts March onwards is in doldrums. The capability and capacity of institutions to commence courses on line as regular activity is suspect specially for technical courses with a majority practical content as part of curriculum.
In my opinion, at this point in time it would be pragmatic to assume that earliest one can think of concrete beginnings in acdemic sessions abroad is January 2021 with admission cycles readjusted to September / October
The scare of coronavirus infection and subsequent international travel restrictions may lead to many Indian students aspiring to go abroad for studies opting out this year or postponing it till next year.
March-April is the time students start shortlisting instituitions but if the covid 19 threat persists , there might be a fall in actual number of students going abroad.Acc. to the industry experts ,China-a top pick for Indian students who want to pursue medical-would not be considered as an option at least for one year.
Though it is highly expected that universities will adjust to the crisis and will postpone the application deadlines and would ease down the admission process .Also,they will make changes to their academic year schedule if the situation persists longer.
Hi,
Covid 19 Pandemic disease has created a major trauma in the entire world and has affected the mankind in a very negative manner. As of now economic conditions in most of the abroad nations also has faced major disaster.
Most of the IT, Multinational Banks, International Consultancy service based companies have implemented lay offs and unfortunately people have lost their jobs also other sectors like hospitality, Tourism sectors do not have as much of revenue as of now, also we still are not sure in how many sectors people have lost their jobs due to Covid 19 s impact on the economy.
If you have to plan for your higher studies in abroad you need to focus on all aspects in life rather than only focusing on your ambition and career. If you really are preparing to go and pursue your studies in abroad be prepared mentally and wait for the right time. Also as of now Bank loans for abroad studies are also not provided that easily in the current pandemic situation. So its important that you need to Start being flexible in your career and we still are not sure when will the pandemic situation would get completely eradicated were people could start resuming to activities normally.
Patience and Self confidence is what matters for an individual as of now. So its best to ensure safety as of now rather than taking decession in haste.
As we go through the news on the Television or in the newspaper, we have come across ads by many Universities that they are providing Online Degrees and Postgraduation courses which carry the same credibility as the Regular courses.
The various Universities have come to the realization that, the number of foreign students joining them will reduce drastically over the time of Corona Virus impact. The revenue of the Universities are going to stoop low as they always made the most income from foreign students.
Thr United that offer abroad studies are providing foreign students the alternatives to moving abroad for higher education. This can be well utilized by the students all over the world as this reduces their expenses to less that half of what they would have to spend to go abroad for the same course in the same University.
