Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right country to study abroad?

Base your choice on the courses you want, tuition and living costs, post-study work permit rules, language of instruction, and career opportunities in that country. Our country guides compare fees, intakes and visa rules side by side to help you decide.

How much does it cost to study abroad from India?

Costs vary widely by country and course — tuition can range from ₹8–35 lakh a year, plus living expenses. Countries like Germany and select European destinations offer low or no tuition fees at public universities, while the US, UK, Canada and Australia have higher fees but strong scholarship options.

What exams do I need for studying abroad?

Most universities require an English proficiency score (IELTS, TOEFL or PTE) and, for some postgraduate programs, GRE or GMAT. Requirements differ by country and course — check our language exam guide for score cut-offs and preparation tips.

When should I start my study abroad application process?

Start 12–18 months before your intended intake. This gives you time to shortlist universities, prepare for language exams, request letters of recommendation, write your SOP, and apply for a student visa without last-minute pressure.

Can I work while studying abroad?

Most study destinations allow international students to work part-time (typically 15–20 hours/week) during term and full-time during breaks. Many countries, including Canada, Australia, UK and Germany, also offer post-study work permits after graduation.
