Indian Students Studying Overseas ... why ?

That is one reason I flew away from India! You wont even get a proper receipt for how much you pay!

So, if one gets such, the final cost won't be this much. Such assistance is never possible for a NRI student in India.

In addition, most students in US also can support themselves with some kind of work that pays reasonably well (again I'm talking about locals and not F1 visa kinds). That too helps reduce the cost burden on parents, if they are spending for the child's edu. Such thing is hardly heard of in India (may be possible nowadays with more employment opportunities but I doubt).

Some factors to consider...

a-e: Yes, there are several additions and subtractions too!

There are some schools, the tuition is free for your children if you are an employee of that school for five years or more. That works only if your child is bright enough to make it to that school.

Also, suppose they dont make in that school, and get to some what lower level school, still they pay 50% tuition of their school to those students !

Now that's not fair! :angry2: If everyone get a reciept then how will the head of the Indian Medical Council have 1800 crores cash and 1.5 tonne (1500 kg) of gold! :lol2:

Let us talk about safety! How many sexual assaults (esp students in university) were reported in India?

You know how many happening here?

Girls get sexually assaulted easily here if they are not very careful!

Reason #2: Freedom to do what you want. For example: you have be in a Live-In Relationship while in College and not care abt what anyone thinks, that is, IF any1 thinks in a disapproving way. That's not possible in India.

pretty much.

:lol:

1. First and foremost is to improve their economic situation.

2. Migration to US is a major factor.

3. A well settled future once you finish and land even in a half decent job. Settled for life even in some cases. I think 50% of the students make this cut.

4. An Master's education from here is atleast of some-value in India and valued in other parts of the world. The value ranges from low to high. If you buck up with experience you can really market yourself in your field.

5. Peer pressure, Family pressure to up the ante. Prestige of settling and working abroad a big factor.

6. Believe it or NOT, I've seen some guys say to increase their DOWRY. :).

மேலை நாடுகளில் படிக்கும் மேல்தட்டு இளைஞர்களிடமும் வரதட்சணைக் கொடுமை தொடர்வது கண்டனத்துக்குரியது. :frown:
