Top 3 destinations to study engineering abroad

So what if you’ve not made it to Indian Institutes of Technology or NITs, you can still pursue an engineering degree from a prestigious university. Instead of getting an engineering degree from a B-grade institute or a private institute in India, you should go abroad. Studying engineering from abroad offers well-rounded education while giving access to the latest innovations and research facilities. Even recruiters are giving preference to international degrees as they understand that a student experiences an all-round development due to experiential learning, international orientation and exceptional opportunities to intern with top companies.

In the recent years, Asian giants like Singapore and Hong Kong are also increasingly becoming popular among Indian students especially for engineering. With a rise in their popularity, there has been dip in number of students going to the USA & Australia

Also with the rising cut-offs, getting admission in a good college in India has become very difficult. Hence, aspiring engineers are making a beeline for engineering colleges in the US, UK , Singapore, Australia, Germany and New Zealand.

Study in USA- The number 1 study abroad destination: Most colleges in the US have their own admission process. Hence, applying to US universities is very time consuming. US engineering programs are of four years’ duration and there are many schools that offer an integrated 5-year Master’s and Bachelor’s programme. If you’re pursuing engineering from the US, be assured that you will get ample research and internship opportunities. There is a plethora of courses to choose from. However, while selecting an institute, it is important to check their accreditation. ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) evaluates and accredits engineering programs in the US.

Study in Singapore: There are many reasons that make Singapore a popular destination for Indian students. Proximity to India, low cost of education, safety and ample employment opportunities make its undergraduate education a very attractive option for Indian students. Like India, undergraduate engineering programme is of four years duration. Intake is once a year in July. The deadline for submitting the application is different for the schools but decisions are made only after the university receives the result of the Class 12 examination. Some popular Singaporean universities for engineering courses are National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Singapore Management University (SMU). Besides this many leading universities of the world like Duke University, Georgia Tech and MIThave set their campus there or have joint collaborations with local universities.

Study in Germany: The hub of automobile engineering, Germany attracts students from across the globe. With more than 300 institutions of higher education, it is one of the leading countries in the field of research, science and technology. There is a common notion that one needs to be proficient in German language to get admission there, but that’s not true. As a foreign student, you are allowed to work 90 days or 180 half days in a calendar year. This right is not restricted for campus jobs like in the US.
