The narrative around studying abroad is shifting. International education was once largely driven by institutional prestige, rankings, brand names, and the allure of geography for decades. However, in the current scenario, Indian students and their families are evaluating this through a far more pragmatic lens, increasingly prioritizing factors such as return on investment, employability, as well as the tangible career outcomes.
This perception indicates a broader global trend, with Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OCED) and the World Bank highlighting the growing emphasis on skills-based education and employability as key drivers of international student mobility.
