A majority of students who aspire to study abroad hail from Tier 2 and 3 cities, a pan-India study of 25,000 aspirational students by edtech start-up upGrad Abroad indicates.
“We are seeing rising interest from students hailing from cities like Thiruvananthapurm and Kottayam down south, Vadodara and Surat in the west, Lucknow in the north and so on when it comes to planning to study abroad,” said Ankur Nyati, president, Study Abroad at upGrad.
Around 57.2% of the 25,000 respondents who expressed interest in studying abroad hail from Tier 2 and 3 cities, as compared to 42.8% who belong to Tier 1 cities.
