Accommodation measures in Abroad

Students must ensure that everything is in place starting from loans to finding accommodation along with other related services before they move abroad. At the University Halls, only 20 per cent of the students find accommodation, from all the students that apply to the aforementioned universities.

Accommodation is sought outside in PBSAs and other private apartments by the remaining 80 per cent of the students. Moreover, help is sought with their post-admission requirements. Around 70-80 per cent of the students who are planning to go abroad seek this help. This help is especially sought by those who hail from the Middle East, Southeast Asia and the Asia Pacific regions.

The loan applications on its platform increased four times in 2022 compared to 2021. In gender ratio, around 57 per cent and 43 per cent were males and females respectively. Earlier, only students from tier-1 and metro cities moved abroad for their higher education.

Currently, as the world is rapidly digitising, the boundaries have been blurred. Thus, exposure is given greatly to the abundant choices that are available for pursuing higher education. Students who are increasingly choosing to study overseas are currently from tier 2 and tier 3 cities.
