Study in India

The education system in India has savored a special bond between the teacher and the pupil since time unknown. In fact, India was the country to have established what we know as the 'gurukul' system of education. However, with the coming of the Britishers, English has become a part and parcel of Indian education system. Today English is the third major medium of instruction in India after Hindi and Marathi.

With more than 17,000 colleges, 400 universities, 13 institutes of national importance and various other vocational institutes, the higher education system in India is one of the largest in the world.

However, it is the fast integrating world economy and corresponding rise of students mobility that have made studying in India an attractive option. A large number of students fly to India every year from all corners of the globe to satisfy their desire for learning more. Studying in India, the second largest higher education network in the World is an enriching experience in itself. For all those who wish to study in India, it is very important to get prior and correct information about the courses that you would like to undertake, the university you want to apply to and how to go about the application procedure. For an international student, it is also important to know the accommodation facilities, weather conditions, food habits and cost of living in the city in which he or she intends to study.

Living Expenses

The prices definitely vary from city to the city, and of course, the major cities cost more like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata. Rent can be anywhere from 6k to 20k depending on location. The price for food depends on whether you go outside to eat or cook at home. Plus, if you have a cook that's another additional Rs. 1,200 per month to your grocery bill of roughly 3-4k. In general, to live in Delhi, would be around 25-30k a month with extra bills for internet, electricity, and water included.
