B.E. Graduates- Click Here For a Bright Higher-Studies-Future Abroad!

Stunned by the number aren’t you? We were too! If you do the math yourself based on recent facts & stats- you’ll see that the only way to set yourself apart from the rest of the (rather crowded) engineering-student world is to equip yourself with a postgraduate degree from a recognized university abroad.  Why study abroad after BE- why not back home? We knew you‘d ask- so here are a few numbers to answer your question.

Saturation Pressure!?

Engineering colleges have been springing up, quite like wild mushrooms during monsoon season, in every other city and town-as you may have noticed.

• From having 1,511 engineering colleges in 2006-07, India was found to have 3,345 in the academic year 2014-15! That’s a 121% increase!
• And – get this: 20 – 33% of engineering graduates fall dangerously into the category of never finding employment (Economic Times)-Nahiii!!!
• And even if you do get employed, entry-level salaries that greet you will make you cringe- leaving you with a PATHETIC salary in a land of rising fuel and grocery prices. Sigh.

A Picture Is Worth A 100,000 Graduates!

Here’s a graph (not for the faint hearted - YYYIKES!) we found-summing up the current BE- graduate-facts in India:

 “Wait- so how come there is such a sudden spurt of growth here”- you ask? This spike can be attributed to an ecosystem which was built by feeding a $110 billion outsourcing market and to the large-scale in-house demand for IT-engineers presented by local software giants like TCS & Infosys.

Watt’s Hot Now!

So basically this is why higher studies abroad after your BE is the best way forward for you. Agree? Great- now we’ll help you get a quick look at current Indian engineering graduates two most popular study destinations- which are *drum roll* - you guessed right- the US and the UK!

An Eligible Bachelor... of Engineering!

Engineering graduates like you- may apply directly to postgraduate programmes abroad.  MS or M Tech courses in the US will require you to take the GRE, and for the MBA – the GMAT. For proving your English proficiency- the TOEFL. The GRE and TOEFL are a general must-have combination for US grad schools. The score requirements for universities vary vastly- so we advise you to check the entry requirements section of the university that you are interested in.

In the UK- the English proficiency test that is accepted is the IELTS. You may want to take note North American universities prefer IELTS to TOEFL too.
