About India

India’s astounding diversity of religions, languages and cultures is unique and unparalleled. The society of the vast subcontinent, varied and complex in its rich heritage is among the oldest in the world. Five thousand years of history have nourished the growth of a great civilization. It has been vitalized through cross cultural contact and characterized by unity in diversity of culture, race, caste, religion and language. 
India has always been one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world. From the time of the Harappan civilization, proper urban dwellings and sanitation technology was available. Not only that, even the Vaastu Shaastra had knowledge on things like material engineering, hydrology and sanitation. In today’s world, India has made its name known even in the fields of space, medicine, agriculture and technology.

Why Study in India

If you’re considering studies in engineering and technology, in particular, the quality of India’s offerings in these areas are particularly impressive — known for their constant pursuit of teaching excellence and boundary-pushing research.
But India’s offerings are far from limited to these fields of studies. From politics to philosophy and biology to business there’s something for everyone in India’s massive higher education system.

1. Its Home to the World’s Second-Largest Higher Education System
What do you get when you combine 343 universities and 17,000 colleges? The second-largest education system on the planet. Comprising bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, the vastness of the Indian higher education system and its global network of students and faculty directly translates to increased diversity and enhanced opportunities for both academic and personal enrichment.

2. Its Affordable
Compared to many of the world’s finest institutions, India’s low cost of education is a bargain. Additionally, various scholarship, loan, and financial schemes are available to offset the cost. But it’s not just less expensive tuition fees which make studying in English a smart financial choice. The cost of living in India is also budget-friendly. How much so? According to Numbeo, rents in the US and UK are 509 percent and 456 percent higher, respectively, than in India.

3. Its Diversity Extends Beyond Academia
If your goal is to see the world, a visit to India is an amazing start. This large country offers incredible things to see and do — from the mountains of the Himalayas to remarkable scenic — and often undiscovered — beaches like Goa, Lakshadweep and Andamans.
When it comes to hospitality, nobody can beat the Indians. Where else can you find a popular saying insisting “Athithi Devo Bhava” or “the guest is God.” Factor in opportunities to explore your spirituality, magnificent history and architecture, mouthwatering cuisine and extraordinary shopping, and the list of reasons to visit India continues to grow.
Worried about culture shock? Indeed, it’s a fact of life when traveling to a new country. However, the benefits of stepping outside your comfort zone are far outweighed by the temporary period of adjustment.
