Is there any difference between studying in Bangalore and studying abroad in terms of how companies view foreign degrees in Ireland/Germany?

Yes, companies often view foreign degrees differently than those earned in Bangalore.

Degrees from top Bangalore institutions are respected, especially within India and certain sectors. However, studying abroad in countries like Germany or Ireland can offer added advantages:

- International exposure and global perspective are valued by many employers.
- Germany is known for strong engineering and technology sectors, and offers post-study work visa (PSW) options.
- Ireland has many multinational companies, especially in tech and pharma, and also provides PSW opportunities.

The impact depends on your field and the employer’s preferences. A foreign degree may give you an edge for roles needing global experience, while top Indian degrees remain strong in core sectors.
