- Getting an admission back home is a nightmare for all Indian students. At first there are only a few good colleges and universities. Secondly, the admission criteria along with the number of applicants turns a lot of kids off. On the other hand getting an admission abroad is always possible.
- One gets to brag about studying abroad. Nothing beats telling your friends, family and relatives (in accent) that you’ve studies in a foreign country. The accent adds oil to the fire.
- Quality education after all. Studying in India for like 12 years or so in schools or 3-4 years in a graduate course is enough to test anyone’s patience. In a country like ours where standards of education are so poor, there is this inner urge to get onto some quality education.
- Leaving on a jet plane! Indians especially the middle class society loves to board airplanes. It’s a feeling out of this world. And when you’re going abroad on a 12 hour flight, heaven!
- Education or a holiday? Or both! It’s great to combine education with a holiday especially when you’re in a foreign country. Indians like to indulge in clubbing, trips etc. a lot.
- Making money by working part-time is one of the most obvious reasons most of Indians apply for education abroad. You take up any little course you’d like to pursue and bang! You get a Visa for going abroad which wouldn’t be possible in case you apply otherwise.
- The opposite sex looks better on the other side. You’ve probably stared at every possible guy/girl here in India. So it’s time to start looking further. Plus you get a clean slate abroad, if you know what I mean! 
- The prospects for settling abroad increase. At least that’s what a majority of students think as they aim for settling abroad. Not to forget the one/two year work permit that you obtain after completing your education abroad.
