Choose right Course and College

What to study and where to study are perhaps the most difficult questions to answer. It is the most critical decision that will shape your career. You need to research and shortlist various study options available to you. The following questions will help you to research and analyze information and take a better decision.

• Is the programme going to add substantial value to your career?
• Do you have the fundamental aptitude for the course?
• Is the course you have chosen well recognized by the industry?
• What are the chances of getting a good job in India or abroad after you get your certificates?
• Does your choice of study programme allow you to get a job in the country you plan to study?

It is a good idea to do some basic research on your own end like talking to your peers, attending study abroad fairs, interacting with college representatives and alumni, so that yours is a well thought out decision.

After you decide on the right programme you can go ahead and explore the countries that offer quality education in your area of interest. If needed, take professional help; speak to the consultants and counsellors, experts in study abroad programmes. Some questions that can help you decide are given below.

• Is the programme offered by your choice of institutions is accredited or recognized globally?

Research and collect as much information as you can. Speak to alumni of the programme or institution, take professional counselling, and then decide your study programme and institution.
