The scare of coronavirus infection and subsequent international travel restrictions may lead to many Indian students aspiring to go abroad for studies opting out this year or postponing it till next year.
March-April is the time students start shortlisting instituitions but if the covid 19 threat persists , there might be a fall in actual number of students going abroad.Acc. to the industry experts ,China-a top pick for Indian students who want to pursue medical-would not be considered as an option at least for one year.
Though it is highly expected that universities will adjust to the crisis and will postpone the application deadlines and would ease down the admission process .Also,they will make changes to their academic year schedule if the situation persists longer.
As we go through the news on the Television or in the newspaper, we have come across ads by many Universities that they are providing Online Degrees and Postgraduation courses which carry the same credibility as the Regular courses.
The various Universities have come to the realization that, the number of foreign students joining them will reduce drastically over the time of Corona Virus impact. The revenue of the Universities are going to stoop low as they always made the most income from foreign students.
Thr United that offer abroad studies are providing foreign students the alternatives to moving abroad for higher education. This can be well utilized by the students all over the world as this reduces their expenses to less that half of what they would have to spend to go abroad for the same course in the same University.

Few student’s survey indicating the same fact that the current situation is effected but they do not stop to try and achieve, whatever it is abroad studies or anything, options are always available in the modern technological world.

1) students planning to start their studies in the short-term are more concerned about COVID-19 disruptions to their study plans
2) the main worries of prospective students are related to travel restrictions and financial issues (e.g. decrease of their study budget or the increasing cost of studying abroad)
3) students expect universities to improve hygiene measures on campus, as well as offer a 24/7 helpline, online counselling and support and extend their application periods.
4) students currently in their home countries are more concerned about travel restrictions, study budgets, and challenges to completing their current studies.
5) students already studying abroad are more pessimistic in their expectations of how COVID-19 will impact their future study plans and more likely to consider online learning, or postpone their studies COVID 19 imposed restrictions on student s physical travel in abroad but still they are pursuing and able to get education through Internet technology.
Hi,
Covid 19 Pandemic disease has created a major trauma in the entire world and has affected the mankind in a very negative manner. As of now economic conditions in most of the abroad nations also has faced major disaster.
Most of the IT, Multinational Banks, International Consultancy service based companies have implemented lay offs and unfortunately people have lost their jobs also other sectors like hospitality, Tourism sectors do not have as much of revenue as of now, also we still are not sure in how many sectors people have lost their jobs due to Covid 19 s impact on the economy.
If you have to plan for your higher studies in abroad you need to focus on all aspects in life rather than only focusing on your ambition and career. If you really are preparing to go and pursue your studies in abroad be prepared mentally and wait for the right time. Also as of now Bank loans for abroad studies are also not provided that easily in the current pandemic situation. So its important that you need to Start being flexible in your career and we still are not sure when will the pandemic situation would get completely eradicated were people could start resuming to activities normally.
Patience and Self confidence is what matters for an individual as of now. So its best to ensure safety as of now rather than taking decession in haste.
