Why
Study in India
The Indian economy is
growing at a staggering rate – it’s predicted to become the world’s
third-largest economy by 2030 – and is expected to grow at the fastest pace in
the decade ahead. Studying in India will give you a front-row seat to the
changing world
and gain valuable
insight into the changing business landscape. As a part of a study abroad
program, you’ll be immersed in a culturally diverse environment. In addition to
a multi-cultural environment, India offers the perfect opportunity to explore
the different disciplines of the world.
The cultural
similarities make it easier to adapt to the environment, and most important of
all, as a Nepalese student, you do not require a visa to study in India. The country
offers many scholarships to its international students and is also very
affordable compared to studying in other countries. It’s also inexpensive to
travel to and from India. With the vast higher education infrastructure in
place, learning in India is ideal for students.
