Which one should I prefer: an average engineering college abroad or a good engineering college in India?

Studying abroad has become a standard in nowadays but this is not always a good choice there is a lot of complications in front of you. As you are not aware of the environment. Average or good college in India is quite better than average engineering college in abroad as in India, there are many colleges which have an international ranking and international collaboration with many international colleges which give education and also give chance for education in their college for two semesters. IITs, NITs, BITS Pilani and many other colleges of India are also so good and have the best reputation in front of the world in which company from all around the world came for placement in our college. I think for Bachelor's course it is not good to go abroad. In abroad, the fee is quite high for engineering in comparison to India. Many students are not able to adjust in the foreign environment. At this stage, when our country needs us for the development of country then why go to another college. Just study here in an IIT or NIT and try to contribute some part in the development of our country, India. Thank you!

Go for Indian colleges. Unless you opt for the scholarships of tuition-free universities like Germany, the cost of studying Engineering abroad is significantly higher compared to India. The Universities in India are not always affordable, however, in other countries, the living costs get added, too.

Main factors to consider are- 1. Return on Investment - One of the major factors is ROI. You are going to spend a lot if you go abroad. So will you earn in proportion to what you spend? Considering this factor good Indian institutes will provide a better return on investment in general. 2. Financial factors - Do you need to take a huge loan for going abroad? If your family is middle class then it will be an unnecessary burden of the loan and interest to be paid. Good Indian colleges have a decent fee and many government colleges have a very low fee. So go for these options. I would suggest pursuing B.Tech from India itself from a reputed engineering college and then going for MS abroad. But if you insist on going abroad follow a rule of thumb i.e; go only if the college ranks in top 100 in the world rankings. Otherwise, it is of no use.

Your preference must be relying on various things. But I would suggest you to choose an average engineering college abroad due to following facts, as education system abroad is better than in India so you'll get quality education and great exposure abroad. Practical knowledge and their approach of education will turn you into a better engineer.

First, let us throw some light on the engineering education in India and abroad. Then you can decide accordingly. The first striking difference is the 'Lack of proper Infrastructure'. Except for the older IITs and some topmost NITs, the infrastructure provided to students are still outdated. While in the foreign universities you would find better facilities and machines. Secondly, the 'Curriculum', while in the Indian Universities is still content with the curriculum they had finalised when Indian got its independence. We are still studying some outdated technology without the practical knowledge. This main roadblock is because the colleges are not autonomous but they are managed by a university, so the question of having a curriculum according to the needs of colleges is meaningless. Thirdly in Indian colleges, the Gap between the Industry and the college pedagogy' is very wide due to which scoring an 80% or above in Indian university won't guarantee you a job with a leading firm unless you clear the recruiting firm's criteria. Next, is the summer internship, while in Foreign universities you get a chance to work for 2-3 months with a firm of your choice ranging from BFSI, consulting domains. This gives you a clear picture of your domain of interest while Indian engineering colleges do not.

The answer to this question would be more precise if the colleges are defined as there are many parameters to judge a college and get the best according to your preference. According to me, there are a lot of options to study undergraduate abroad. If you are getting a good college such as government or university in India, then you can definitely study here. If money is not an issue then you can compare an Indian college with the abroad college in the world QS rankings so that you can get a clear idea. The most important thing is the branch taught in the college that you want. Go and search for the job opportunity in your desired stream both the institutions are providing. Also, studying abroad will definitely make you more updated and technology oriented as compared to Indian students but it can have adverse effect too. It strictly depends in which are you are going. In all, Indian colleges are working nice with the global perspectives too and one can do his Masters and PhD degrees abroad but B.Tech from abroad can be same as in India due to average colleges in abroad.

It is always a better option to do graduation degree in engineering from a good college with good acedemic environment so that you have strong foundation. if your Engineering foundation is strong, you can build on it by higher studies and experience but if foundation is not strong you may face challenges in M.Tech/ MS or in job.
