Will Foreign University Education for Indian Students Regain Momentum In 2022-2023?

There are a lot of students who wish to pursue further studies abroad. Pandemic has completely ruined the dreams of students to study in a Foreign University. Let’s know how far covid-19 pandemic has hit and will foreign university education for Indian students regain momentum in 2022-2023.

In 2020, outburst of covid-19 has poured water on dreams of Indian students who wish to study in foreign universities. It was something that no one could imagine. It was a gap that hit hard on the education of students. Pandemic really hit hard and foreign universities have deferred their applicants’ admissions to the next academic session.

As we all know, it is very difficult for other countries or India to change their policies when it comes to international students.

However, to make sure that students do not face any problem and they can study smoothly, the government and foreign universities are making it as easy as possible for foreign students to study abroad. There are constant changes in travel restrictions and laws, so that students can study in a foreign university without any tension.

Students hoped that there will be a relief from covid-19 in 2021, but nothing like that happened. So, students are hoping that in 2022 and 2023, foreign university education in India will regain momentum.

Admission To Fall for Coming Year

Students are reconsidering their applications from foreign universities because of lack of clarity about the situation, will it be improved or not.

Foreign universities have come to common solutions, they offer prerecorded lectures, live online classes, online assignments, open book examinations etc. until circumstances are improved. Traditional mode of teaching is still not possible in these situations.

But Indian students have a lot of enthusiasm to study in a foreign university. They know about the pandemic situation but they also know that the situation will be improved. Hence, they will get an opportunity to study abroad.

Easy Process of Foreign University

Taking admission in Foreign University is not an easy task. It requires a lot of documentation. We all know that, to get an admission in foreign university, we have to clear some tests like IELTS, SAT, GMAT, GRE and TOEFL but some of the universities have waived their requirements for these tests. Also, many of the universities have reduced or many of them have waive off fees for several courses.

This has been a good approach for foreign university education to make students stress free.

So, I think that foreign university education in India will definitely regain its momentum by 2022 and 2023.

Change Of Plan

India has achieved the target of vaccinating more than 100 crore people. As vaccination has gained momentum, foreign universities are welcoming Indian students with open arms.

The Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (which handles the application process for British universities) has noted a 30 per cent increase in undergraduate university applications despite precautionary travel restrictions,” says Adarsh Khandelwal, co-founder, College, an educational consultancy dealing with studying abroad.

As foreign universities have waived requirements of English language proficiency tests like- IELTS, SAT, GMAT, GRE and TOEFL, more and more Indian students feel confident about studying in a foreign university.

Hybrid Plan

What is a hybrid plan? – Many of the foreign universities offer hybrid plans to students. Hybrid plans give students an opportunity to start a course in India and finish it in another country.

If you are willing to study in a foreign university, some things you should consider are: –
