Choosing to study an MBA programme can be a life changing decision, since the first MBA was established in 1908, students with an MBA course have enjoyed an advantage in business, many of the Indian business graduates feel pursuing an MBA course abroad as an excellent way to gain skills that equip them with hands on experience required for gaining leadership positions as teaching techniques in foreign universities combine class room teaching with practical dissertations.

Why choose to study MBA abroad when there are good business schools like the IIMs and the Indian School of Business right here in India? Though the IIMs provide excellent   education and good   Placements, getting into the top notch business schools in India is difficult as students have to crack the entrance  exams which are very tough and very few  lucky ones manage to gain admission in to these schools while those who do not have to make do with much lesser known institutions. The quality of programs offered by the mediocre institutions does not match up to the international standards with insufficient faculty and inadequate facilities and with very few or zero placement assistance which renders many of the Management graduates unemployed and seeking other jobs.

Global MBA graduates have dominated the current job market leaving lesser opportunities to an Indian graduate. The global market tends to demand a graduate with an experience through work/projects in an international setting. Employers are more than happy to have business graduates with international experience who would be job ready right from day one. A foreign degree and international   experience categorizes the student as a class apart and provides higher and good job prospects, social status and a fat pay globally or on a national level. Students can earn a better taught and recognized course abroad in just one year and push start their career early as against studying a 2 year MBA program in a top school in India.

There are various cost effective programs with scholarships options offered by various universities and colleges in countries like UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, etc. It is essential to seek the advice of expert consultants who can guide the students in choosing the right choice based on their background.

  • Confusion regarding  fee or no fee

Germany  is the one of the best study option  even if you are  from  middle class financial background   but there is certainly a misconception that  all programs  are free it would be worth noting that  certain specific programs at  public universities do not charge tuition fees however even in that case  a semester contribution  that ranges between 250 to 500 Euros  need to be paid mandatorily  However  tuition fees  in Germany are  comparatively lower  than  in many developed  countries.

  • Food is  a huge worry

Many have a preconceived notion that one can’t get food that appeal to Indian taste buds and that   for vegetarians it’s all going to be even more difficult but the reality is that Germans, like experimenting with food and their recipes have had fair bit of transformations and influences. It is not difficult to locate restaurants serving Indian, Chinese food in Germany so relax you don’t have to stay hungry while you study in Germany

  • Germans are not much sociable

This is more of a preconceived notion and bias that people have towards Germans they might be more formal in their approach towards strangers but once you break the ice they are friendly and approachable like any human beings in fact it won’t be surprising if you get a couple of German friends before you enter your first semester study in Germany

GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES IN ENGINEERING AND MEDICINE

Engineering studies abroad 

Engineers are most sought after professionals in almost all the countries and figure in the Skilled Occupation lists of countries which facilitate migration. Engineering courses in countries like UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and Germany provide state of the art facilities for students in comparison to those provided in India. Some of the overseas universities/institutions provide paid internship and placements during the course period so that the students get adapted to the requirements of the employers while seeking jobs and working students gain benefits in the form of competitive wages. Niche programmes such as mining, Mechatronics, Environmental engineering, Petroleum engineering, Bio-medical  engineering, Aircraft maintenance, Audio and  Video Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Design Engineering, Agricultural engineering, Fire Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Electro-mechanical engineering, etc, have opened up newer areas of employment opportunities for the youth today.

New Avenues for Medicine studies abroad

Pursuing an MBBS degree has been a favorite amongst the Indian student fraternity. The perks of recognition, high pay, and social status have been the common driving factors that have motivated students to pursue a career in medicine. The global demand for doctors is on the rise; however, we have not been able to meet the demand, especially in developing countries including India. Medicine studies in developed countries is open to all willing  to excel in their career, without any reservations  based on color, religion, caste, creed or additional financial burdens

Though US, UK  tops the list in providing quality medicine studies, for those who cannot afford to spend huge money and match stringent entry requirements, several new avenues  have opened up  in Europe and Asia  the most  prominent among  them are  Philippines, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Georgia ,Hungary, Poland  Russia, Malaysia, China  etc ,where these programs are taught in English  where medicine education is not only  cheaper, entrance requirements are also less cumbersome, notwithstanding the excellent  education system and infrastructures that are truly international. There are a few good institutions in these countries which provide excellent and world class facilities for medicine studies with advanced infrastructure and facilities, easy availability of cadavers for studies and clinical placements in hospitals. Entrance exams and heavy capitation fee payments are no more a worry for those who opt to study in these countries. There are many institutions that cater to international students however, the onus lies on the students to identify the genuine institutions before embarking on Medicine studies abroad.

* Like in all other countries a foreign qualified doctor is required to undergo the prescribed test/certification in India by the Medical Council of India before practicing in India.
