Dear Sir , My daughter is currently an XI th grader at an ISC school in Navi Mumbai . She chose Commerce early on and has excelled in all the subjects so far. Post HSC , She would want to pursue an undergrad degree in Finance/Economics in a top university in India . The situation is that she being an USA citizen, we are not sure about the eligibility and intake criterion of Top Universities colleges for Foreign Citizens. can you help us understand the same .Will she have to take up CUET ,CET,NPAT and likes of same or would there be different qualification criteria, she being a foreign citizen . Hope I am able to articulate my question well . Thank you in advance .
Ans: Hello,

Firstly, thank you for contacting us. To answer your question, while the application process for foreign nationals may have slight variations compared to Indian students, your daughter should not face any issues when pursuing an undergraduate degree in finance or economics at top universities in India as many institutions have a well-defined process for international students. While she may still need to take entrance exams, the process is generally straightforward, and her excellent academic performance will put her in a great position. I’d recommend visiting the specific university websites to understand the details, but overall, she should be in a great position to pursue her goals in India.

Additionally, since she is already a US citizen, she might also consider pursuing her degree in the USA, where there are abundant opportunities in Finance and Economics, with no visa concerns to worry about.

Subject: Guidance for studying abroad and scholarship opportunities Dear Career Counsellor, I'm reaching out for guidance on behalf of my son, who recently passed his SSC (MH Board) with 91% and aspirations to study business management abroad after his 12th grade. As a middle-class family, we're looking for economical options with scholarship opportunities. Considering his strengths in maths and science, we're unsure whether to opt for the commerce stream in 11th grade. Please advise: 1. Suitable countries for affordable studies in business management 2. Scholarship opportunities available for Indian students 3. Recommendations for the 11th grade stream (commerce or otherwise) aligning with his interests and strengths Thank you for your valuable guidance and support. Best regards,
Ans: Hello,

First of all, thank you for reaching out to us and congratulations to your son on his outstanding SSC results. To answer your question, given your son’s strong academic record and aspirations in business management, I would suggest considering countries like Germany, Canada, the USA, and the UK. Germany and Canada offer relatively low tuition fees with scholarship opportunities, such as the DAAD for Germany, while the USA and UK, though higher in costs, provide various merit-based scholarships. In particular, the USA offers the potential for high-paying jobs after graduation, which can help recoup the investment in education very quickly. For the 11th-grade stream, considering his strengths in mathematics and science, opting for the commerce stream with mathematics would be a solid choice. This would provide him with a strong foundation for business management while keeping future options open. Additionally, incorporating subjects like economics could further complement his interests and prepare him for the business field. I wish him all the best in his academic journey.
