A lot of comments against ambitious students who want to lead “luxurious” lives. When in fact most IIT ,IIM professors have recieved their masters and PhD abroad and have worked abroad. Not just them look at leading Indian engineers in top Indian private companies…all educated and have worked abroad. They came back to this country with much more experience and potential, and has thrusted Indian companies light years ahead. Realise that Indian institutions can’t meet standards set by foreign institutions because of funding, expertise, alumni and in general a monopoly by developed countries into keeping their rankings and hence their standards high.
Phir yahi log Sundar Pichai ka naam leke hilate hai. They don’t realize that he attended a foreign university
These are the reasons why students are choosing abroad ,
1.The quality of education
2. No social security ( companies are playing employees life’s)
3.low salary
4.poor road conditions Full of drainage waters in road
5. Caste system
6. Full of corruption from current office to marchary only 1% goes to government rest 99% go to there pockets.
7. Population
8. Finance companies frauds
9. Etc
By seeing this many talented people are leaving india and setting in foreign countries with good pay and quality of Life.
Conclusion: The attitude will be different from person to person.
Pay may be high when compared to India in absolute terms but when compared to cost of living it’s not so high. For example, I’ve lived in Kuwait and there one on average earn around 2 lakhs Rs (1000 KD) per month which sounds very high in Indian Rupees but average rent is 75000 so around ⅓ of monthly salary goes to rent only. So I find it silly when people SOLELY want to go aboard for salary. For few professions it makes sense like for example Environmental manager (in Oil Industry) because such jobs will earn you very little if you can even found a job but in many places like Vancouver, parts of US, UK Middle East there is demand for such professionals…
Do you guys have any idea about the uncertainty faced by the students in the USA for those who are graduating right now?
Compared to that, this is nothing….
I heard h1 b visas are going to be very tough to get though currently I am in 1st year and you ??
@Rishav Kumar dude yeah we get that people are suffering but can we completely eradicate poverty? no cause we aint the government. our futures depend on colleges abroad so we worry about it. just cause we do, doesnt mean we dont care about the poor alright?
@Rishav Kumar so I provided rations to 20 houses. What did u do other than complaining in YouTube. Listen, it’s not that we r not understanding the problem, we do. But know what, after a while, this pandemic would be over. But our 1 year???? We will lose it.
Rishav Kumar This part of the discussion is not relevant here, find a different platform.
@Rishav Kumar don’t try to use poor people to launch ur attacks dude. Such a sad person you are aiming at kids who are just worried about their future. Also just talking about poor whenever you can doesn’t make u Messiah. Act before you preach.
Thank god.. Some one spoke about that. I’ll be missing my interview. I don’t know what would be the consequences. Will I be able to get admission? My results are being delayed? I lacks communication with them. Such thing are giving me sleepless nights.
@Vyom Jayaswalhow should we contact you plz provide us proper information regarding that
Hi Ray, if you are still struggling with it you can contact me. I am the Founder of Eduglobe Consultants and have been sending 200+ students abroad every year. We can guide you during this time of crisis.
These are basically business models to rob off international students (all these big universities out there). I strongly disapprove the online studies, why to pay so much for just online classes better to enroll for any other e -study platform such as udemy etc.
@MAMA CHOUCHOU There are lot of courses out there which they are offer for free now because of covid so you can get the best of it now and moreover, mostly courses are payed but they are *affordable*.
Manish Heera is udemy free?
Why am I WATCHING this in the first place..?
@Anurag Yadav I am doing as much as i can to help the poor ??
@Shiv 96 are you actually providing food to the needy people? Or just talking about it
@Shubhradeep Debnath we can criticise this channel for deviating our focus from the main issue.
To watch these rich kids whining about their first world problems while people in our country are literally starving.

You guys are only planning no? You have not paid up front right? Wait for a year till everything stabilizes and then apply. In the meantime, try volunteering or something, this is the right time for it. These issues are really trivial to what is actually happening on the ground, especially with the workers migrating back to the village on foot and with no money to buy food.
@rohan thomas hey same pinch even idk what else to do except work in a BPO. I felt so demoralised and ashamed to be working there but i doesn’t matter where we start from, all that matters is where we end our journey ❤️
@Ray Can’t a wait a year more? You guys are not even planning to work right. I know ur planning got spoiled and u don’t feel well. But u r talking as if the marriage depends on the MS.
Exactly
@Shruti Vish if I were you , I d wait it out. I heard on the news that due to the pandemic, many unis are using zoom conference. That defeats the purpose of going to uni since there is little networking because of this. Networking is also why many go to uni as it helps the student build a career. A couple of grand for an online degree from a uni? Why not take a course from Udemy? That will save u a lot of money
ive got into usa and canadian unis, havent accepted yet. im so confused about what i should do during my first year.
Studying abroad is a luxury and a privilege, which cannot be afforded in these unprecedented times
Students who wish to come must realise the grave economic danger you put yourself in even if you enroll. Countries are struggling with their own citizens with jobs etc, don’t think that country will help you in these times.
Ajeet Kumar Absolutely true!
Studying in abroad doesn’t means luxury life first end reservation in top collage of India then bark on them many general category student fukk up their life on 3 class indian private collages universities which doesn’t value then m enough to get jobs and about top institute in India only reservation is matter rest of us face racism in private universities of India don’t talk with much information end reservation no one else want to go abroad it’s sc st obc who Block seats of deserve candidate who much student money wasted in IIT coaching rest get nothing only SC ST selected University of delhi sc cutt of zero in PHD mathematics so they are only choice to shine to study abroad rather then admission in stupid Indian private University don’t behave like reservation candidate or uneducated
These candidates didn’t got anything back home?
I think all countries are suffering from this and it may take longer so they are planning to go through online classes…Don’t worry, you can join after the end of this epidemic, if someone has applied to Indian universities then they are facing the same…In our country, most people are deprived of food rather than higher education…So it’s time to think about them and I hope you guys get your desired college soon…
Stay away from Europe and USA for another year. Let vaccines come for corona.
Lol. India is the 6th most affected country now. And today it will become the 4th most affected country by overtaking the United Kingdom.
NOW FOREIGNERS WILL STAY AWAY FROM OUR COUNTRY FOR 2 YEARS ????
Bada aaya advice dene wala ?

They arent coming anytime soon
China has unleashed war on the white people
Well said ????
Im UK visa immigration officer i knew how this moment of covid19 impact to the students who want to apply visas but they need to wait till this pandemic over
Lol
Pretender spotted!!!
Defer admission by a year or so, or apply in India. But first wait for the pandemic to get over. This is an unprecedented situation, even people with higher degrees and secure jobs are not sure where the next paycheck will come from.
You are still from a previleged background where your parents can provide for you if you have to stay back in India for one more year or so. Show some sensitivity to people like the migrants who are walking 100s of Kms with starving children and facing hardships on the road. Be thankful for what you have now and as long as you and your family is healthy, there is nothing much to complain about in your case. So be patient and be sensitive to others ‘ suffering. I’m a former teacher.
For everyone there problems, no one is complaining there pain is more than those migrants. You should realize that corporates are firing people, even after getting aid from govt. Wake up to reality.
Sympathies to the students… (myself one) , but at the same time it is an eye opener to everyone… (employbility depends on skills(in demand))
Hope this gets over soon,,we can only pray
And when such pandemics arise these are the type of people who cry and pound on Govt for not helping them….
Da Phuc ?
