Home to over 50 cities with a population of 1 million people or more, you will have no shortage of flourishing destinations laid out before you when deciding where to study abroad in India. You could spend a lifetime exploring the Indian subcontinent and still not see everything you want to see, so let’s start here by narrowing down your options to just the most popular destinations.
New Delhi is the country’s capital city and home to many of its most highly ranked universities, so naturally this is the first choice for many of where to study abroad in India. Mumbai, India’s largest city sitting pristinely on the coast of the Arabian Sea, is also an exceedingly popular destination for study abroad programs in India. Both are major global cities; New Delhi being at the heart of Indian politics, and Mumbai serving as the country’s commercial capital and major economic power.
Other popular cities where to study abroad in India include Hyderabad, Chennai, and Jaipur. India is a very culturally, ethnically, and linguistically diverse country, so your experience studying abroad will differ significantly from region to region. One thing to decide early on is whether you would rather study abroad in northern or southern India, then work your way down from there by researching several possible destinations.
Get answers to the questions travelers ask most
Many international students aren’t aware of it, but India is actually a popular destination for studying abroad. The main reason is lower cost of education and daily living compared to other countries known for their study abroad programs.
Studying abroad in India is significantly more affordable than other countries. Tuition fees per academic year range from USD3,000 – USD7,000. Universities in India are allowed to set their own fees, so these vary from one school to another. International students can expect to spend around USD3,500 per year for living costs.
As an international student in India, make sure you bring the essentials: laptop and other electronic devices, IDs, wallet, any medication, and documents, such as the right visa. Check the climate of your host city to pack the right clothing. Don’t forget cash and cards as well. It helps to check out resources and create a packing list, so you won’t forget anything.
India boasts a global higher education sector, which means its universities and colleges are open to international students from around the world. Student visas allow multiple entries, making it easier from and to the country. Young people from Bhutan and Nepal can study in India without a visa, while those from Pakistan require security clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs before getting their visa.
