On the occasion of Teacher’s Day which is celebrated on September 5 every year, the birthday of India’s second president Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, SEMrush – a trend data provider proves via recent study that India remains the education capital for local people.

INDIAN STUDENTS NOT WILLING TO LEAVE MOTHERLAND

An Education Research has found that Indian students are not eager to leave the motherland to go to college. Google search volumes show how much more interest there is in attending colleges in Rajasthan, Gujarat and Kerala.

Rohan Ayyar, Regional Marketing Manager India, SEMrush further added, “We can rightly say that India is one of those rare places in the world where ancient traditions and modernity coexist in harmony. With Nalanda being the world’s first university, it’s no surprise that local students want to continue education here”.

COLLEGES POPULAR IN TERMS OF GOOGLE SEARCHES THAN UNIVERSITIES

The study also discovered that colleges are much more popular in terms of Google searches than universities. But when it comes to the last ones, India takes only the 4th place in ranking, following Germany, Singapore and Canada. And these choices are pretty understandable and coincide with the overall world state of education.

According to the German Academic Exchange Service, there are about 13% of international students in Germany. As for 2016-2017 data, the number of Indian students exceeded 15,000. They prefer engineering sciences, mathematics and natural sciences, law, economics and social sciences.

At the same time the National University of Singapore, the oldest and the largest university in the country, ranks in the top 30 globally. It’s famous for its entrepreneurial opportunities, research and international outlook and is renowned for its outstanding achievements in engineering and technology. Finally, in 2018, Canada is considered to be a home to nearly half a million international students.
