More than 13 lakh students are currently pursuing higher studies abroad. According to the data released by the MEA recently, 13,35,878 students were pursuing higher education in countries outside India in 2024, an increase from 13,18,955 in 2023. For 2022, the figure was 9,07,404. This shows a growing interest among Indian students in pursuing higher studies abroad. However, students aspiring to study abroad need to make a detailed plan and execute it promptly.

In a bid to help students planning to study abroad, Hindustan Times Digital has created this page.

The idea is to empower Indian students by creating a supportive and dynamic community that fosters open discussion, shares valuable knowledge, and builds meaningful networks. We aim to guide and inspire students in their study abroad journeys, providing a platform where experiences are exchanged, challenges are overcome, and opportunities are maximised. Together, we strive to make studying abroad a transformative and accessible experience for every Indian student.
