Here are some general suggestions for Indian Students planning to go abroad before finalizing their education destination, along with some country specific advisories:
The students are advised to check the genuineness of the University (if the University is fake or not). They can contact the Indian Embassy/ High Commission in the respective country for advice/verification of the university. They are advised to trust only government verified institute websites. {NOTE – Trustworthy institute websites generally have a suffix that includes the country abbreviation (e.g. for Germany - .de, for France - .fr, for Netherlands - .nl and for South Korea- .kr)}
The students are advised to check the official websites of Indian Embassy/High Commission in their country of choice for specific advisories in regards to study/travel in the country.
The students are advised to take into account the institute’s official recognition and academic reputation. They must ensure that the degree they earn will have recognition in India or any other country they choose to work or study in.
Students must consider the language requirements in their chosen country. When planning to study abroad in an English-speaking country for higher education, students will most likely have to submit IELTS or TOEFL score.
Students must verify and fill all required documents. {NOTE – Students must ensure that all the documents are translated by a certified translator if specified by the institution or the Embassy of the country they are travelling to.}
Several countries require students to produce a valid health insurance for obtaining a Visa. If the students already have medical insurance, they must ensure that it provides international coverage, and covers medical evacuation/repatriation (travel expenses for returning home if in case the medical condition warrants it)
Students must ensure that their Educational Agent/Counsellor is legitimate. They should check the veracity of the agent by gathering all relevant information from both online and offline sources. They should be aware of fraudulent agents in India who may deceive them when applying to foreign universities; only hire certified agents. This will save the students from facing unwanted troubles like monetary loss, loss of documents, being misguided, etc.
The students are advised to register at the Pravasi Rishta Pravasi Rishta Portal, to maintain a regular communication with the Embassy/Consulates in their country of study.
For redressal of any grievance, the students may use the MADAD Portal MADAD Portal, Consular Grievance Monitoring Redressal Mechanism run by the Ministry of External Affairs. The MADAD portal for overseas Indians provides a platform to file consular grievances and will help to monitor the status of the complaint filed at the concerned Indian Embassy/High Commission. It will also enable the authorities to provide the students with prompt assistance in case of any emergency.
