KATHMANDU, JUL 12 - India has always been the most sought-after education destination for Nepali students. Although it’s difficult to trace exactly when Nepali students started going to India for education, the country has been an education hub for Nepalis ever since the Gurukul system of education started. The trend rose further after the advancement in the academic system with the initiation of formal education several decades ago. Since then, the flow of Nepali students to India for education has been increasing significantly. Although the trend of going to traditional India n education destinations like Patna, Banaras, Deradun, Naitital, Darjeeling and Gorakhpur for school level education has slowed, the attraction to India for higher education has been increasing every year. The number of Nepali students traveling to India for higher studies further rose after the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia — other popular destinations for higher education among Nepali students — adopted tighter visa rules for students. Apart from its proximity to Nepal and affordable tuition fees, the fact that the two countries share similar culture makes parents feel India as a secure destination for their children’s higher education. There has been enormous progress in the India n education system in the last two decades, establishing itself as a leading education hub in Asia. Both the government and the private sector have made huge investments in research, laying emphasis on educated workforce with a commitment to lifelong learning. India leads the world in production of world-class Information Technology (IT) and management professionals, being the world’s second largest education network. Colleges like National Institute of Technology (NIT) and the India n Institute of Technology (IIT) are considered among the best engineering institutes in the world. A report of the University Grants Commission, the main regulatory body for university education in India , shows that 20 central universities, 215 state universities, 100 deemed universities and over 16,000 colleges are spread across the country. India is also a country of contrast and vast differences. Besides expensive private colleges and universities, there are also relatively low-cost public universities for the low-income group. India is a very diverse country and its people and their culture vary with the change of states. It also attracts thousands of students across the globe providing opportunity to study in a multicultural classroom. Interacting with the people from different cultures teaches tolerance, acceptance of diversity and helps to build close cultural connections which consequently helps in promoting teamwork and confidence. A world class education system with strong government monitoring makes India a popular destination for Nepali students pursuing higher education. Most of the students going to India prefer Engineering and IT followed by Management and Nursing.
