That point hits home: 'Life is better outdoors in a western country, but is better inside homes in India'

India doesn't have enough good colleges to support the growing student community. And now abroad is also not an option. Nice. 😊

While working in Europe, whenever I ordered food from Uber eats, the delivery guy was mostly from Indian subcontinent. It was -20°c outside. I tried to tip them few times. Their life was really difficult. It's better to stay in India than be a 2nd class citizen outside. People often don't realise what we get here.

This is exactly what Dr. Amartya Sen, honourable Nobel Laureate in Economics had told about India. He spoke of the lack of primary education and the lack of quality education in formative years. While the no of colleges may be stupendous, it's important to understand that a building cannot stand on weak foundations or no foundations at all.

Very high population is the biggest problem in our country. It increases competition in every field 😢.

I have a close friend who lived abroad for years, then came back to India because he was homesick even after so many years. Now, here's the twist, after living in India for 2 years he realised that his life abroad was better and wants to go back. Moral of the story: insaan kahin khush nahi rehta, grass is always greener on the other side. So jahan ho khush raho, move kar rahe ho toh wahan khush rehne ki koshish karo. Baaki life is all about struggles. You'll struggle in India, you'll struggle abroad as well. Embrace it and change your mindset first. Life is not gonna be all hunky dory all the time🤝

Doesn’t matter what anyone says, but studying and living abroad has been the best part of my life. Working part-time is part of the process and teaches you so much. What a lot of students don’t realise is that part-time jobs teach you soft skills that are valued highly by many companies. And it also helps in getting full-time jobs, unbelievable?

I moved to Australia in 2017 for my masters. After going through some tough years, I am now well settled and working as an Engineer. The answer is - not everyone succeeds and not everyone fails. So stop putting everyone in the same basket.

I have studied in India but I have worked in couple of Gulf countries and now in Ireland. One important thing what you missed is the attitude of the youngsters. We had been driven in our society that do the work what you have studied so and so. I work as lead engineer and I interview student engineers who come for internship, graduate engineers, mid level and senior engineer as well. You can see these students start working when they are 15 and they never have a feeling that I need to do 'this' job only. Even if they are well educated they take breaks, do any jobs like bartender, mechanic, waiters and they are happy with it. But Indians never work until they finish graduation and depend on parents. Even parents don't allow them to work if they wanted to because of emotional and "what ppl will say' issues.Basically no life skills are there. This is the root cause for all depression and problems.

Majority of Indian students won't go foreign if only our education system focuses on required skill subjects instead of useless information which is readily available on Google in just one click 😞

I can speak to my own experiences in the United States. While incidents like the one mentioned do occur, it's crucial to understand that many students, myself included, have had positive experiences here. I've been in the US for five years now. Regarding crime, certain areas in the US have higher crime rates, and unfortunately, some Indian students may fall victim to it. It's essential to understand that they aren't necessarily targeted due to their nationality. The Indian students I know are doing well and have landed great jobs, and they're pretty content. This can be attributed to the effort we put into qualifying for reputable universities and being aware of the potential drawbacks of lower-tier institutions. When applying to the US universities, I really dug into the details. I looked at small details, like which state the university is in, where exactly it is in that state, the crime rate around, and the diversity of the people there,and what not. I actually turned down offers from three good universities because of higher crime rates and less diversity in the area. I ended up choosing one that matched my preferences better. Making impulsive decisions to leave the country without thoughtful consideration can lead to negative outcomes. Definitely I miss my country, no doubt about it. If I feel like I've gathered enough experience someday, I might just head back home.

I'm currently completing my bachlores in CS in the US and I want to say that this life is just not for everyone. I am really happy and glad I came here, but that's because it is exactly what I wanted from my life. The people that end up unhappy are in most cases (I think) just going to different countries because everyone else is doing it. If you are really strong academically, this is the best opportunity, but if you are average/below, it messes you up because you'll feel like no one wants you here.

maturity is when you realize family friend and mental health is biggest treasure.

One of the major reason for going abroad I observed in my friends is independence and escaping the family pressure. Indian families are not equipped to deal with modern way of living and going abroad is a better way of moving out of the house. Its an easy escape and a win for all.

You are absolutely right. Because this is something I have faced when I was looking for a college that could be afforded. This is how I decided to chose to go to abroad and I think I can see a struggling but when overcome, the same could become smoothing.

So happy my dad decided to buy 4 small houses in NYC when he was working abroad in US. He retired at the age of 43 cause the rent from these 4 houses is enough for us to live happily in INDIA

Talented people will survive anywhere! Whether it is India or abroad. Leave India only if u know u can generate good value. Going abroad out of FOMO or Jealousy would end up bad

What an irony. The owner of IITShaadi isn’t from IIT. 😂😂
