Indian Education Vs Overseas Education
 
Education is organic, it keeps growing and evolves with time and the human mind. This is the major reason why education provided in different nations of the world is different. The principles on which education systems are formed are different for every nation. However, the aim is similar, i.e. to instill creativity within the human mind.
With a rich history of knowledge, we Indian boast a lot about our Educational system. But many immigrants who settle abroad, and get the change to study in both environments, consider the international education system more practical and unforceful.

Indian Education System

• Indian education system makes our theoretical knowledge of the subjects very strong which is very important for conducting research.
• India grants Right to Education to every child so that every child gets compulsory schooling. Government schools provide free education to all its students so that no one is deprived of education.
• Our educational curriculum has a wide range of subjects from the school level itself starting from the regular subjects like science, English etc to the subjects for honing extracurricular skills like painting, music, dance etc. I agree these subjects are available at very few schools and many students don’t take up such subjects but things are changing gradually.
• Our education system has a compulsory moral education subject for building good moral amongst the students.

Overseas Education System

• The biggest reason you should consider a study abroad program is the    opportunity to see the world.
• Studying abroad has always been considered not only prestigious and of high quality, but also a good investment in the future. This is the starting point on the path to build a successful career as well as internship opportunities and employment abroad.
• The international recognition of diplomas and degrees, the opportunity to stay and work in the country after graduation, higher starting salaries for graduates of foreign universities.
• The student receives not only a foreign university diploma, but also gains invaluable experience in learning, communication and living in an international environment that will benefit him throughout his life, making him more adaptable to the requirements of a rapidly changing world with its processes of globalization and growing competition.
• Studying abroad has always been considered not only prestigious and of high quality, but also a good investment in the future. This is the starting point on the path to build a successful career as well as internship opportunities and employment abroad.

 
India being a developing nation lacks funds and hence there is a need to gather funds and use them to enhance the education system. Beginning with more research-oriented education, there are a lot of things that we need to achieve, such as flexibility, updating the curriculum, global knowledge, etc.
It is essential to understand the difference between Indian and foreign education especially if you are aspiring to study abroad. Here is a comparison between Indian education and foreign education.
Some major differences between Indian and Overseas education:

1. Option to switch

• In India students cannot switch their major subjects in the middle of courses .
• Most of the universities in European colleges and US-based colleges allow students the options to switch subjects and don’t limit them to just one subject.

2. Approach towards Education

• Curriculum in Indian educational institutes focuses more on the theoretical education and rely on the research that has been conducted in the past.
• The curriculum of foreign universities follow a more practical approach in education and encourage fresh research other than what has already been discovered.

3. Research Initiatives

• Despite the continuous help offered by the Indian government, there are limited research funds; therefore, research initiatives are also less.
• Research in foreign universities is funded by some of the biggest organizations of the world, such as Google, Microsoft. Hence research initiatives offered there are better.

4. Curriculum

• Modifications based on the latest and approved research studies are implemented quite late in the curriculum of Indian universities.
• Universities in the US and some other developed countries update their curriculum every few years, hence offering more advanced education.

5. Exposure

• India has not yet been able to internationalize education in order to attract students from various countries to choose courses offered by Indian Universities.
• Foreign Universities have a mixed group of students coming from various countries. Therefore a student gets better exposure.

 
India offers its students a wide range of courses & specialization to choose from. Besides the core fields, ie., engineering, M.B.B.S & management colleges, there are excellent options in Aviation, Microbiology, geology, nautical science and agriculture.
The common trend, among students who wish to Study Abroad, is a choice from among Engineering, Management, Medicine & Hotel Management.
