ROI Over rankings: Why Indian students are rethinking their study abroad choices
Indian students pursuing overseas education are increasingly prioritising return on investment over university rankings. Rising costs, evolving visa policies, and shifting global opportunities are driving a more outcome-focused approach, where employability, internships, post-study work rights, and long-term career prospects matter more than institutional prestige. Destinations like Germany and France are gaining popularity due to affordability and job prospects. Universities are now expected to demonstrate clear career outcomes rather than rely solely on rankings and branding.
