MORE STUDENTS IN INDIA NOT ENROLLING OVERSEAS AS COVID-19 PANDEMIC CAUSES CHALLENGES, UNCERTAINTY

Instead, most universities have attempted to fill the void with technological progress, rethinking teaching strategies and community engagement, said Vibha Kagzi, CEO and founder, ReachIvy.com, an education consultancy that offers a special service to guide students to reflect on their higher education goals abroad during the pandemic.

Some universities in Canada, the U.S., Britain, Europe and Singapore have made arrangements to open up campuses while observing physical-distancing norms and taking safety precautions, Ms. Kagzi said. "So over 80 per cent of our students have started their fall course. In case of longer duration programs, students are opting to start their programs online, knowing that they still get an on-campus experience.”
