What is the correct approach to apply for study abroad and how to work outside India after studies?
To study abroad and work outside India after graduation, follow these key steps:
1. Decide your academic and career goals, including preferred course, country, and budget.
2. Research and shortlist universities based on program strength, reputation, and post-study work options.
3. Prepare for required exams like IELTS (English proficiency) and, if needed, GRE or GMAT.
4. Collect documents: transcripts, statement of purpose (SOP), letters of recommendation, and resume.
5. Apply to universities before their deadlines.
6. Plan finances, considering scholarships and education loans (subject to change).
7. After receiving an offer, apply for a student visa (visa rules subject to change).
8. Arrange accommodation and prepare for departure.
After graduation, many countries offer post-study work visas (PSW) that let you work for a limited time. Duration and rules depend on the country and are subject to change.
