Seeking Guide for Studying in Abroad?
Seeking guide for studying in abroad?
Many people have the desire to study in foreign educational
institutions. Many educational
consultants provide information related to it. There is no problem in getting
the guidance. There is problem only with whether we are getting guidance from
the right person? Indian student got seat in an Australian educational
institution. After six months only that student came to know that he is not
interested in that field. This happened because of they have got the guidance
from a wrong person and joined in the related educational institution.
Self planning is essential
Self planning is essential before seeking for a guide.
Decide about your interested subject and department. Feel the importance and
reason for selecting the field. Your interest on college or university. What
are all the added advantages of the college you have chosen? What is your
target of studying in abroad? Where would you wish to stay and study in that
country? How is your financial evidence for studies? Ask all these questions to
yourself. If you do not have answers for all these fundamental questions it
means you are in a wrong initiation.
Most of the students wish to get everything easily. Nothing
is equivalent to self planning. Indian students should change their attitude of
developing themselves in others adjustments is the opinion of British council
Delhi Branch Manager Munish Guptha.
If there is a critical decision in the department you choose
, you can get a good higher education in that field. A third party’s guidance
is not required. But in case you are seeking for a guide, use their service. Do
not depend on them fully.
If you meet the guide with a clear approach, ask him about
the educational scholarships provided by the institution you have selected and
also whether some other institutions are also providing the course which you
have selected like all other information. Students you all have the clear understanding about all the needs, you
can identify the right advisor who will take you to the right place. If not you
will be the money giving tree for that person.
How to find an honest adviser?
First a honest advisor will come to know about the
department you wish to study. After that he will enquire about marks or
qualification. Along with your wish and understanding capacity in the
department, he will check with your financial background. He will discuss about
the subjects related to that department. He will encourage you to collect some
details and will make you keep in direct touch with the related educational institution. If you are suitable
for studying Bio Engineering he will never guide you to study MBA.
He will recommend you
and will never speak business to join in a particular college. He will not give
advertisements for that particular college also.
Identification of Invalid advisors
These persons will first check with your marks. After that
they will recommend about some of the colleges from the list of colleges they
have. Some will act like an agent for
some particular educational institutions. They will recommend the subjects which
costs more. Because they will get commission through that. Some educational
institutions are providing agent commission from 5 to 7% in the educational
fees.
Some are getting 3,000 American dollars as commission. They
will never recommend the colleges which is with less fees. That is a business
for them, that is it. They will look at their income alone. They will not
recommend qualitative colleges even if you have scored good marks. Because they
will not be the agent for that particular college.
Agents are not the right choice
If you go to the agents for counselling , your choice of
colleges will be within a limited circle. You may get seat in a very normal
college. Those college seat will involve in sales. You may select a wrong
curriculum. The agent may lie regarding the job oppurtunities post your
studies. They will exaggerate. He will not prepare you to adapt to the cultural
environment of the country. You will
need to overcome more life and travel expenses.
Therefore, you do not summarize all of the opportunities. Do
not be a person of selecting colleges from the agent’s list. In these kind of
situations self planning alone will lead. Keep one thing in mind, without self
planning, a third person’s advise will never be a benefit.
Some Warnings
America, England and other European countries have not yet
recovered fully from the economic recession. In this situation it is difficult
for the Asians to get employment. The priority is being given for the own country
people. You can work according to your own qualification. If you are an
engineer you need to work related to that. You cannot work in a retail trading
company or some other jobs.
If you think that you have joined in a wrong educational institution
or if you are not interested in that field, it is very difficult to switch over
to other college. So it is important to select the right college at the
beginning itself.
Additional information about
America and England
You need to decide about joining and studying there only
after understanding about the academic culture of England. British council
which is the part of British government is providing the official information
about England education. In Delhi British Council hall every Wednesday they are
clearing about England education. This is for free of cost. Parents are also
allowed.
Special guests are invited from several educational
institutions in specific intervals and they are conducting education
exhibition. Have some planning in mind while going for that exhibition. Go with
unique questions and ask them the information which is not available on the
internet. Do not forget to take your copies of educational certificates.
British council is established some agents and partners list
in its website. But all of them are not registered by the British government. The
agents who have got the license alone
will provide you the right information.
According to American educational institutions United States
- India Educational Foundation (USIEF) provides enough information. Through
this toll free number 18001031231 , from Monday till Friday 2:00 p.m till 5:00
p.m you can get information in both Hindi and English languages.
Visit www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk
website for details about recognized British educational institutions. For
American educational institutions visit www.educationusa.state.gov and www.chea.org . Do not believe the agents who
promise to get you the American visa easily. Because the officials will be very
careful in this matter. Once if visa is rejected, it is very difficult to get
it again.
