Universities in the UK have the highest academic requirements. According to the QS World Ranking 2023, four of the top ten universities in the world are located in the UK. The nation permits foreign students to remain and work there for two years (3 years for those with PhD or doctoral qualifications).
The UK is also favoured because of its better educational system, skill set, and employment potential. Thus, students look for post-study employment options to lengthen their stay in the UK.
“The United Kingdom is becoming more and more popular with Indian students due to the favourable stay-back alternatives, post-work stay-back opportunities, and evolving residency rules. E.g., the British government’s introduction of the Graduate Pathway visa in 2019 resulted in a substantial increase in the number of Indian students enrolling in U.K. universities,” said Amrita Ghulati.
3. CANADA
The previous 8-9 years have seen a gradual but steady rise in Canada’s reputation as a top location for higher education. Indian students currently consider it to be one of the top destinations for higher education.
A top-notch education combined with internship opportunities and lenient government immigration and post-study work legislation is the ideal combination for Indian students.
