Transcripts
okay studying in India versus studying
abroad disclaimer I do not get paid
either ways if you study in India or
study abroad part I do get paid in
comments so please make sure to comment
if you like this video
first major difference is that there is
a lot of competition what do I mean by
that so first of all the best
universities in India the best colleges
in India are IIT Bombay IIT Bangalore
and IIT Delhi apart from these three
colleges none of our other colleges even
come in Qs rankings except I am
Ahmedabad none other college comes in Qs
rankings and also these three iits come
up to 150 so IIT Bangalore is somewhere
around 150 IIT Bombay is 170 and IIT
Delhi is 200 something so that's the Qs
rankings I now consider this getting
into Cardiff University Glasgow
University now these are better than
according to QSC rankings these are
better than IIT Delhi IIT Bombay IIT
Bangalore so if you trust the Qs
rankings getting into these iits is so
difficult but at the same time getting
into Glasgow University extra these are
so easy like even if you have 70 percent
marks you might just end up in these
colleges so what is the reason for
what is the reason for this it's pure
demand and Supply you do not have a lot
of seats in IIT Delhi you do not have a
lot of seats in IIT Bangalore there are
just 60 70 seats no still for 60 70
seats there are one lakh people are
playing but at the same time in these
top Qs ranking universities the
admission the applications that go to
these universities are one student one
is to seven one is to six that means
they accept every sixth person so that
is why getting into a good Qs ranking
University abroad is easier so this
point goes to study abroad
second point of difference is cost and
definitely cost is a big major cause of
concern when you study abroad now there
are some scholarships you have talked
about those scholarships on this channel
I would leave the link of entire
scholarship playlist in which you get to
apply for like 20 30 scholarships you
can apply for all those free of cost
I'll leave the link at the end of this
video make sure to watch this video till
the end but when I talk about cost that
point definitely goes to study in India
okay so one point goes to study abroad
one point goes to study in India next
point would be proximity to family I
know this might not be a big point for
you it's a big point for me the more I
stay close to my family the better it is
for me why because at the end of the day
we are living such a short life and I
would want to live this life with the
people I love the most and if I am in
India I can get to meet my parents more
often than if I was studying let's
suppose in Canada because I talk to
students from Canada they get to visit
their family once in their entire term
of three years I don't want that so this
point it came to study in India it's an
important point for me
next point is job opportunities now
unless you're graduating from a very
good high prestigious Institute of India
the job opportunities are not that great
I come from Commerce I graduated from
one of the best universities of India
and I did end up getting jobs but many
of many of my friends also did get jobs
but there's there were some people who
did not end up getting jobs even from
the best Institute of India that's a
cause of concern
and at the same time when you look at
job opportunities abroad when you talk
about Canada almost everyone gets placed
now do they get placed in the same field
they don't but the amount of money that
they make is what makes them more than
happy with what they're doing I mean I
talked to students from Canada who did
not end up in the field that they were
studying for but still they're happy
because the money that they're making in
that field is good I recently did a poll
on my Instagram page and the poll said
would you rather be sad and take a
high-paying job or stay happy and take a
low paying job and turns out people
ended up wanting to go for a high-paying
job so that makes me feel like giving
this point to study abroad because yeah
definitely the jobs that you will get
there will be better now there are some
people who tell me that Muradi are one
of those reasons why there is brain
drain happening in India and are you not
patriotic at all because you see you try
to send every student abroad why is that
and uh the answer to that patriotism
part is gandhiji studied in an
International University BR ambedkar
studied in an International University
studied in an International University
started in an International University
so were these guys patriotic enough to
come back to the to their own country
and help the country and then I have
recent examples also and in recent
examples you have the rubaiyamani who
came back almost the entire family who
studied abroad came back you have ratan
Tata I mean I'm pretty sure you cannot
say anything to ratan Tata he also
started abroad he also came back you
have many such other examples uh you
have Dr Manmohan Singh I had written it
you had do you have Dr manwan Singh who
came back so uh patriotism completely
depends on you and I would highly
recommend you guys to get skills if you
are so patriotic get skills from abroad
and then use those skills in your own
country because only that way you can
bring back the knowledge from Western
World and that is important and not only
Western world certain way but that's
important till we live in a nutshell
most probably will never grow okay so
that was with regards to some criticism
I got in one of my videos continuing
with study abroad versus study India so
we are at 2-2 next point is when you're
studying abroad you get to discover new
things and you get to grow because you
come out of your bubble till class 12 or
till your graduation you stay in a
bubble you stay without it with your
family and you stay in that reserved
Indian environment but when you go
abroad you learn tons of new things you
get exposed to new things now if you
sustain well in those environments you
will grow and you will learn a lot so
this point definitely goes to study
abroad 3.5 versus 2.5
next point is option to change subjects
now that is highly unlikely in India
that you will get an option to change
your subject but doing the same thing in
either United States or any European
College very much possible so another
point that goes to study abroad okay
study abroad is fighting
okay honestly speaking I don't see many
benefits of studying in Indian colleges
unless you end up in a very good Indian
top tier top 10 rank University of India
otherwise if you just go to an average
private university in India that would
just be a very very very bad decision
now having said that the only benefit
you have and I genuinely feel like the
only benefit you have in studying in
India is that it's cheaper
but one thing you should know and this
is something I've been telling everyone
again and again again and again again
and again this is your education that
you're talking about your education
decides what you will do in future
with your education you can change
entire past history of your family
entire past Financial history entire
past social economic history
so if you end up being well educated
there is nothing that's going to beat it
and please don't be a fool to not talk
to your parents about your funding
options ask your parents how much
they'll be are ready to spend on you
this is something I've been emphasizing
again and again
and I'm not saying in starting in India
is bad I am a product of studying in
India but if you are studying in India
it's more important for you to be more
focused and doing tons of other things
tons of other things doing
certifications doing courses starting
startups whatever you want to do in
India is slightly difficult trust me
studying in India I feel like is
difficult why because if you don't do
anything your future is in danger
starting abroad you have a post study
work visa if you have a post study work
visa you'll get a job because their
unemployment rate touches one person
sometimes look at our unemployment rates
look at the jobs that we get average
salary right now in India is 17 000
rupees 17
000 Indian Rupees is an average salary
of a graduate in India at the same time
in Germany that's 20 times a person is
earning 20 times more money in Germany
as opposed to Indian average bachelor's
degree
so just keep in mind that if you are
starting in India there is way too much
pressure on you and I am completely for
studying in India if you are ready to
take this pressure if you are ready to
go beyond the limits and stay at the top
of your University because
if you're not actually doing that well
in India you might just face a lot of
issues later on but on the other side if
you're studying abroad even if you're
doing average studying abroad you will
end up somewhere and there is something
no one talks about everyone says
studying abroad is difficult you just
have to manage there and yeah managing
it is difficult but in India you have to
strive for success and both of these
things are absolutely amazing trust me
if you end up at either of those
situations no nothing is wrong but you
should know what your future is from
here and if you study abroad and strive
and be in the top ranks Nothing's Gonna
Stop you man
me
please stay in touch with me if you're a
smart person
and if you like this video I would
recommend you to watch this video
