The document summarizes the results of a survey of Indian students studying abroad or aspiring to study abroad. Some key findings include:
- The United States remains the most popular destination, chosen by 54% of respondents.
- Males make up 76% of respondents, though the percentage of females is increasing.
- Most students (64%) apply within the first two years of graduating and 40% seek admission immediately after graduation.
- The most preferred degrees are Master of Science (MS) and Master of Business Administration (MBA).
- The PISA 2018 assessment tested the reading, mathematics, and science skills of 15-year-old students in Malaysia and other countries. It found that Malaysian students scored lower than the OECD average in all three subjects.
- Socioeconomically disadvantaged students in Malaysia significantly underperformed their advantaged peers, mirroring the OECD average gap. However, disadvantage is not destiny, as some disadvantaged students achieved amongst the highest performance in Malaysia.
- Overall, Malaysia has seen improvements in mathematics and science scores since its first PISA assessment in 2009, with stronger gains amongst high-achieving students. However, reading performance remains similar to 2009 levels.

This document summarizes the key findings from a survey of Vietnamese youth conducted by AIESEC in 2014. The survey included both qualitative focus groups and a quantitative online survey to understand how Vietnamese youth aged 16-30 currently study, work, communicate, and engage in social causes. Some of the main findings were that Vietnamese youth place a high value on academic results but also want diverse learning experiences. They also highly value soft skills and teaching methods when choosing a university. Additionally, most respondents were confident they could find preferred employment within a few months of graduating, though many were also interested in pursuing further overseas study. The business services industry was a preferred sector and online channels were seen as the best way to look for jobs. Overall, the

- Most students (66%) start researching graduate schools by their junior year of undergrad.
- Finances are the top influencing factor for students when deciding where to apply, far outweighing other considerations like program reputation.
- Students primarily use online search engines rather than graduate fairs to research schools.
- Social media has limited influence on where students apply or attend.
The document recommends ways for graduate programs to partner with Chegg to increase awareness, engage students during the research process, and ultimately drive more applications through targeted digital outreach and content.
Apprenticeships: An attractive proposition?Ipsos UK
"Apprenticeships: An attractive proposition?” summarises findings from Ipsos MORI’s research among young people and employers. It includes research on young people’s perceptions of Apprenticeships, and whether they see it as a worthwhile career pathway. For example, only 1 in 7 secondary school pupils (aged 11-16) say their school has encouraged them to do an Apprenticeship, but over a quarter (27%) say they would be interested in doing an Apprenticeship after completing year 11.
In this presentation, we also explore how the findings compare to the Government’s vision for English Apprenticeships by 2020. To find out more, please contact krishna.chhatralia@ipsos.com

This document summarizes key trends in international student mobility and recruitment strategies for universities. It finds that undergraduate students continue to drive growth in international enrollment. Most growth comes from a handful of countries like China, India and Saudi Arabia. Global interest in studying in the US, as measured by SAT registrations, is rising fastest in Asia and the Middle East. Top universities are gaining an increasing share of international undergraduates, with nearly 30% enrolled at the top 50 institutions. Successful recruitment strategies focus on leveraging data to inform outreach and understanding major mobility trends.
Aiea 2015 Emerging Opportunities for International Student Recruitment Michael Waxman-Lenz
Emerging Opportunities for International Student Recruitment. A joint presentation by representatives of The College Board, International Education Advantage (Intead) and James Madison University. Discuss trends and practical execution of international student recruitment.
The document discusses research from World Education Services (WES) on trends in international student mobility and recruitment in US higher education. It provides data from surveys of over 100 admissions professionals and current/former international students on topics like declining international enrollment, changing recruitment strategies, and student concerns about issues like gun violence and post-graduation plans. Key findings include a 10% drop in new international enrollment since 2015/16, increased use of social media in recruitment, and over half of students wanting to work in the US after graduation.
The survey of 18 college students found that most plan to take at least one online class, supporting the hypothesis. Key findings include: 78% of students plan to take an online class; most attend community college and live off-campus within 30 miles; and the top reasons for taking online classes are greater college choice and requirements to take them. The study suggests colleges are justified in expanding online programs given student demand.
Career development practitioners, also known as career counselors, advisors, officers, or teachers, help students with career planning. A survey found the top ways they spend their time include developing career action plans, attending open days, and interviewing students. Students find talking to practitioners, industry visits, and guest speakers most helpful. However, practitioners have less time for students as their time allowances often decrease. Completion rates for further education are also dropping, so students need better career guidance and information.
Half of potential transfer students will not reach out to admissions until they are ready to apply. With their list of schools they are considering as small as 2-4, it's ever important to ensure you are "top of mind" for potential transfer students.
As we enter the spring recruitment season when transfer recruitment becomes a big priority for many schools, it's important to stay informed of top trends and resources for building your brand, capturing student interest, and engaging and converting prospects through enrollment.
This presentation will focus on top ways colleges are using new technology to go beyond the table in the student lounge and focus on high impact and measurable methods of finding and connecting with their prospects.
Fulfilling the American Dream: Liberal Education and the Future of WorkRobert Kelly
The document summarizes key findings from surveys of over 1,000 business executives and hiring managers regarding their views on the value of a college education and the preparedness of recent college graduates. Some of the main findings include:
- Most executives and hiring managers express confidence in colleges/universities and see a college degree as important or very important. However, many think colleges need to improve in ensuring graduates have the skills needed for the workplace.
- Employers find it difficult to fill many open positions and want colleges to better prepare graduates for success in entry-level jobs and ability to advance.
- Executives prioritize skills like critical thinking, written communication, and problem-solving but feel graduates are less
Optimistic About the Future, But How Well Prepared? College Students' Views o...Robert Kelly
Key findings from survey among 400 employers and 613 college students conducted in November and December 2014 for The Association of American Colleges and Universities by Hart Research Associates.
From November 13 to December 3, 2014, Hart Research conducted an online survey on behalf of the Association of American Colleges and Universities among 613 college students—all of whom were ages 18 to 29 and within a year of obtaining a degree, or in the case of two-year college students, within a year of obtaining a degree or transferring to a four-year college. These students included 304 four-year public college seniors, 151 four-year private college seniors, and 158 community college students who plan to receive their associate degree or transfer to a four-year college within the next 12 months.
Prior to the survey, in September 2014, Hart Research conducted three focus groups among current college students. One group was convened in Waltham, Massachusetts, among seniors at private four-year colleges and universities. Two groups were held in Dallas, Texas—one group among seniors at public four-year colleges and universities and another group among students at community colleges who expect to receive their associate degree or transfer to a four-year college within the next 12 months.
The focus groups and survey were undertaken to explore college students’ views on what really matters in college, including what learning outcomes are most important to them personally and for their future success. The research also explored current college students’ sense of the job market today, their confidence in being able to secure a job, and how effectively they think that their college learning has prepared them for this. The research was designed to understand the learning outcomes students believe are most important to acquire to be able to succeed in today’s economy and how well they feel that their college or university has prepared them in these areas. It also explored their participation in various applied and project-based learning experiences, as well as their perceptions of the degree to which employers value these experiences when hiring recent college graduates.
The survey of college students was conducted in tandem with a survey of 400 employers, and explored many of the same topics to provide a comparison between these two audiences.
This report highlights key findings from the research among college students. Selected comparisons with employers are included where relevant. A report of selected findings from the survey of employers was released by AAC&U in January 2015.
Millennials face significant financial hurdles in pursuing higher education. Only 19% of students attend their top choice school due to cost, and most students (57%) did not attend their first choice last year. Financial aid is a major factor for 60% of students, and many cannot afford their top picks without assistance. Significant student loan debt burdens many graduates, with over 30% paying more than $300 per month. While a bachelor's degree on average leads to $17,500 more in annual earnings, rising costs mean students must carefully consider their options such as community colleges. A degree remains important for employment but real-world experience through internships provides valuable skills.
IntlSchoolAdmissionIndustryReportFINALloResTK Ostrom
International schools face significant challenges in the admission process due to rapid growth in student population and competition from other schools. The survey found great variability across international schools in admission staffing, tuition/financial aid models, and the influence of admission offices. Most admission leaders have multiple responsibilities beyond admission and have limited involvement in strategic decision-making. They seek further professional development opportunities to strengthen their leadership skills.

This document summarizes a keynote presentation about identifying and addressing selection bias in a student program. The presentation discussed how initial reviews of applicants in 2015 showed bias against female applicants, with males rated significantly higher. In response, the program implemented blind reviews, a standardized rubric, and recruitment efforts to increase diversity. These changes led to no significant differences in ratings or performance based on gender or race in subsequent years. The presentation provided recommendations for other programs based on lessons learned to promote fairness and reduce bias in selection processes.

This session will present key findings from a new national report, conducted by Aslanian Market Research and The Learning House, Inc.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
What today’s “typical” online college students look like, and the major ways in which they are both different and similar to traditional students
What are the most powerful marketing messages to reach this audience
What are the most popular online subject areas and degree programs
OK. We are past the May 1 "finish line" and now have a good (or somewhat good) handle on what our class looks like for the fall ... Except there are a few issues:
Summer Melt will still happen
We need to fill upper-level courses with transfer students because of retention issues
The President decided she actually wants 20 more students than we had originally planned
Do any of these sound familiar? It's most likely that if you are not "in the top 1% of institutions" you are dealing with one if not all of these challenges (or others!) as you try to shift gears to 2018 but are still on the hook for 2017.
How do enrollment managers find that balance between long-term strategy and just bringing in their class? This webinar will provide some insights and suggestions for bridging short-term enrollment gaps while not sacrificing long-term strategic planning.
This document summarizes the results of a 2014 survey of education agents regarding their business and clients. Some key findings include:
- Agents are primarily based in China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand and send most students to the UK, US, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
- They typically counsel students for pathway programs, undergraduate/postgraduate degrees, English courses, and medical studies.
- Parents are the most influential in the decision making process for undergraduate studies, while agents and counselors play a larger role at other levels.
- Better employment prospects, personal development, and courses not available in home countries are the biggest motivating factors for students to study abroad.

India’s Higher Education System - May 2016Careers360
With nearly 8 million students entering the higher education
domain each year, and a GER hovering around
20%, India would see a sustained growth in number of
enrolments as well as institutions in the coming decades.
As good institutes are in short supply, the scope for
higher education services providers will only grow in
the coming years. The report presents an overview of
the status of education in the country, number and type
of institutions and their growth, aggregate enrolments
and growth, nature of research conducted in Indian
institutions, opportunities for joint degrees/sandwich
programmes and research collaborations.

Status of Engineering Education in India - February 2014Careers360
India has the world’s largest engineering education system
with over 1.8 million engineering seats on offer. But the
amazing numbers hide a range of issues like questionable
graduate quality, grave shortage of good quality faculty, crisis
in placements, poor research and publication activity and an
alarming reduction in the number of aspirants. We examine
the overall scenario of the engineering education system in
the country.
Management Education in India - August 2014Careers360
With the AICTE and UGC operating at a tangent and the courts
reversing their orders frequently, management education is
at crossroads now. Already plagued by issues of empty seats,
unbridled capacity expansion and major issues of RoI the
reputation of the degree has taken a beating. What is the way
forward in this scenario? This white paper examines the status
of MBA/PGDM system as it exists today and raises pertinent
issues that matter to the B-Schools. From entrances to RoI we
look at all aspects of management education with an objective
to understand where the domain stands.
Management Education in India - September 2013Careers360
Issues that plague the business education scene in the
country include increase in number of seats, falling student
interests, rising fees and decelerating return on investments.
In short, management education is going through a crisis.
The paper, while enumerating the ills that adversly affect the
system (also based on our survey of 577 B-Schools) present an
overall picture and flags issues that the different stakeholders
of the system namely the B-Schools, the recruiters, the aspirants and the media must confront and address

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Study Abroad: Survey of Indian Students
Graduate scores
The positive discrimination policies
of the state as well as overall lack
of opportunities have resulted in a
substantial chunk of 75-90 percen-
tile students not getting the course
of their choice in India. The survey
results too reflect the same. Just
over 60% of the respondents belong
to the 70-90 categories. Nearly 33%
belong to 80-90 category. However,
it is interesting to note that the per-
centage of respondents between
90-100 is not substantial.
QUICK Take
l Target the 80-90 percentile students.They are in the top 15% of
the class but still do not get courses of their choice.
l The really top quartile students seek and gain admissions directly
from universities and they are primarily driven by scholarships.

Graduation Year
Most study abroad decisions hap-
pen within three years of gradua-
tion. But the interesting trend here
is that the number of students seek-
ing to go abroad immediately after
their graduation has gone up from
14% in 2013 to 40% in 2016. And
half of the respondents belong to
the undergraduate stream (mean-
ing they seek a first degree directly
after school).
True to its nature, about 1/3rd of
the respondents (30.89%) have also
graduated at least 2- 4 years before
they apply. They continue to form a
sizeable cohort of aspirants.
Quick take
l Incorporate undergraduate recruitment plans in your
communication schemes.
l Do not ignore the Masters’students from India.They still
constitute 1/3rd of the cohort.
l The profile of the Indian student is going through a downward
revision.They are getting younger and their preferences appear to
be fluid. Catch them young.

Experience profile
Energy sector graduates are the most mature.Very few seek to study
immediately after their graduation. Just 3% of the respondents
expressed interest.
As in all other sectors, nearly 20% of the respondents wants to move
abroad immediately, within a year of graduation.
Manufacturing appears to be the biggest sector where the candi-
dates seek to move out and earn degree within a year of joining
the sector. Nearly 46% of candidates out of the sample is from this
sector.
Across the sectors, most experienced students work for about two
years before they decide to study abroad. The fact that most of
the Master’s degrees mandate or encourage prior work experience
contributes to this phenomenon.

Test taken
Most candidates invariably take the test before or during their
application process. GMAT is the most popular test as 61% of the
respondents admits to have taken the test. We have also calculated
the percentage of the test takers for each test individually.
Across the board, about 80% of the students take the tests by
the time they begin the second month of their application process.
When we conducted the survey between September-October, just
about 20% of the candidates was yet to take the test.

Preferred Location
Across individual years and cumu-

preferred country with 66% of the
respondents preferring that nation.
Interestingly Canada appears to
be second most-preferred nation,
though the number of students
finally seeking admission in that
country is far lesser than that of the
UK and Australia.
Thanks to the increased visa
restrictions in the last few years, the
UK which still retains the third posi-
tion as the most attractive nation,
has been relegated to the fifth place
with just about 5.75% of the respon-
dents seeking to go to that country
in the last year.
Quick take
l Canadian universities undersell their programmes in India.
With its innate immigration-friendly image, this country has
substantial potential to recruit from India.
l Germany too is getting attractive to Indian students thanks to
the low fee/no fee image and the high quality of engineering
education offered there.

All other programmes appear to be
in single digits. The only exciting
find is that between the last two
cycles of this survey Executive MBA
has picked up growth indicating
the need for re-skilling from expe-

well with the exponential rise in the
number of engineers in the country
over the last few years.

Scholarship
An interesting finding is that the percentage of
students who will not pursue studies without schol-
arship is now down to 38%. When we began the
survey exercise almost 81% of the students needed
some form of scholarship. That figure now stands at
a respectable 62.36%. In other words, scholarship is
no longer the defining criterion for pursuing studies
aboard. The easy availability of loans and increased
income levels have positively contributed to this
phenomenon.
Fee
India still remains a developing country. An over-
whelming 73% of students said they would want the
full fees to remain within 50K. So any cost above 30k
per month might be a dampener.

NOTES
7. With over 8 million students entering the higher
education realm each year, India’s demand for higher
education is burgeoning. And, as GER improves at
the primary and secondary school levels, the market
size would only grow exponentially.

all the registered participants on the Study aboard
portal during September for the 2016 intake and
beyond. At least 7462 response were recorded of
which about 249 were discarded for want of authen-
ticity or completeness.
