In India the number of
study abroad consultants have grown many folds. This is primarily because there is demand at both sides of the coin. Not only larger number of students are interested to
study abroad but also
colleges and universities across the world taking more and more interest in inviting students from India. But is it necessary to consult study abroad consultants for
study abroad programs and s
tudy abroad scholarships? Before we answer this, lets look at the reasons for increasing demand.
There are couple of reasons on both sides for the increasing demand. In India due to lack of sufficient number of
colleges and universities offering quality education in different streams such as engineering, medical, law, animation, web design etc.the more and more students are looking for options in
USA,
UK,
Canada,
Singapore,
New Zealand and other international destinations. On the other hand colleges and universities are interested in getting more and more qualified students from across the world, this is well supported by the local government as students now will in future drive the economy. For ex. in Canada the average age of the population is growing year by year so the government is encouraging more number of immigrants at students level as they will in future are expected to become the back bone of the country.
No doubt majority of the students planning to study abroad depend on study abroad consultants to short list universities, fill their study abroad application form, get
study abroad scholarships, and even to get
study abroad visa.They don't charge students but a high percentage of the admission fees from the universities. At times, the
study abroad consultants tend to fool students in the name of study abroad. They would give wrong information about the universities and mis guide students to make money by their
study abroad admissions.
So what is the alternate option? These days several colleges and universities have come up with their own centers across the world. They are the most genuine ones. You can also consider taking help of online career counselling and filling
online college application. This not only saves your money but also time, which otherwise you would end up spending on running from one
study abroad consultants to another.
