The Indian embassy plays a crucial role during your stay abroad. Within 24 to 48 hours of your arrival in the country, you must register yourself with the ministry of internal affairs. This legalises your stay in the country. The second step is to register at the local Indian embassy. Not only is the embassy a home away from home, but people at the embassy can also help solve any problems you may face during your stay. The embassy is also a great place to connect with other Indians in the country you choose to study in.

The common notion is that foreign universities are expensive, although with scholarships this is an exaggerated issue. What many fail to consider are time and effort. Studying in an Indian college leads to a lower average salary than earned by our western counterparts. This salary sets the tone for all future promotions since companies often look at your previous salaries during compensation appraisals. Additionally, most senior positions tend to be scooped up by individuals who have an international outlook through global exposure. Finally, studying in a foreign country is an incredible learning experience helping students get a better academic as well as soft skill development.

A good score doesn’t automatically qualify a candidate for a scholarship, however, it is one of the primary factors that the admissions department looks for in a scholarship application. There are other attributes such as a candidate’s academics, extra-curricular, financial background, and application essays (SOPs).
