Here are some highlights:
1. 76% of students were surveyed and are planning to go ahead with their education abroad in the next 6-8 months (September or January intakes).
2. 15% of students said that they are going to take a decision about studying abroad in the next two months, while 9% are considering pushing back due to the coronavirus outbreak.
3. When the above students were informed about the steps being taken by international universities, then they decided to re-think. 27% of the students weren’t aware of the contingency measures taken by universities for the next intakes – blended learning options.
4. 70% or more students prefer an international healthcare system. Canada and UK ranked among the most trusted international healthcare systems by Indian students followed by USA, Germany, Sweden and Finland.
5. 75% of the surveyed students are headed for post-graduate programs, while the remaining 25% are in the undergraduate category.
6. The study found that the UK was most preferred as a study destination for Indian students. It got 28%. Australia – very close at 25% want rate, while Canada, USA and Ireland are the other top choices voted 18%, 16% and 13% respectively.
With very strict measures in place during the Covid-19 pandemic, international universities are enhancing other features and opportunities to make sure they are still attractive to Indian students.
