China gets more Indian students than Britain
Hemali Chhapia| TNN | Updated: Jan 7, 2018, 06:06 IST
HIGHLIGHTS
MUMBAI: The old guard of blue-chip foreign education, Britian, has been upstaged by an unlikely rival: China. Fresh data shows that there are more Indian students right here in the Asian neighbourhood than in the United Kingdom. Though Indian students have been going to China to study medicine in significant numbers since 2010-11, experts attribute the latest shift to the "NEET mess" (the change in medical admission criteria in India) that took many by surprise and saw even more medical aspirants flocking to China after struggling to clear the new centralized admission test.
And now there is another preferential change: many Indian students are looking to pursue engineering there too. "It is a cost-effective destination, its medical degrees are recognized by the Medical Council of India, and the course is conducted in English," says study abroad-expert Pratibha Jain. There are now 18,171 Indians in China versus 18,015 in the UK, the numbers for 2016 reveal.
"China was a natural choice to turn to for most Indian students who did not clear NEET as there is a language issue in the case of Russia. Also, there is a popular perception that doctor graduates from Russia find it difficult to clear the MCI qualifying exam to practise in India." The average tuition fee for a Chinese medical university is between $2,000 and $3000 annually, plus an additional $1,000 to cover living expenses.
In 2015, the number of Indian students in China was over 13,500. as India ranked among the top 10 nations sending the highest number of students to Chinese varsities. In fact, China has now become the third most favoured nation of international students after US and UK. It has also paced up as a host destination and is the fifth-ranked choice for Indians leaving the shores for an education.
UK on the other hand, had slid in popularity after it did away with posteducation work visas. "Apart from the fact that China is not as expensive as the West, they offer jobs. Also, more and more Chinese universities are finding a place in the global rankings, indicating that they are of global quality," says Karan Gupta, career and education consultant.
South Korea continues to send the maximum number of students to China, but a close second is the US and Thailand comes next. Pakistan and India follow. When this decade opened, China was not on most students' radar; now, having made rapid strides in the unlikely field of higher education, it is attracting several thousand foreign students every year. Most of them are studying humanities, followed by medicine.
As far as Indian students there are concerned, the largest slice is pursuing medicine. But as Maria Mathai, director, MM Advisory, points out, "What started with medicine is now expanding to engineering too as we see a lot of Indians now enquiring about computer science courses in Chinese universities."

China is our friend and all but sorry there is no comparison between universities of UK and China. UK has one of the best education systems in the world with universities that encourage innovation and out of the box thinking. There is a reason that along with US it has the most universities in top 100 or 200 in the world. Chinese education suffers the same brain drain that our system does.

people to people contacts. between China and India have been there since thousands of years..
at some point of time. chinese students used to come to nalanda to. learn..
no amount of jingoism can reduce that..
chinese and indian people to people contacts will always overshadow the quality of sino pak people to people relationship.

What does China have that can rival the standards of Oxford, Cambridge, Kings College, Imperial or London School of Economics?. There is no comparison. These schools have produced alumni that have changed the world. Chinese education system suffers from severe problems that's why thousands upon thousands travel to UK and US and even Malaysia to study.
China is at least 20 years behind in Social Progress, Education and Quality of Life than the UK.

They got a low score in annual gaokao exam to enter Chinese universities and were not accepted. Of course they had to go overseas.

The reason is simple.
1. UK universities are lesser in number and under strict laws and restrictions.
2. A lot of Indian students go to China to study medicine when they don't get seats in India. Just need to pay a lot of money (but less than many private medical colleges in India) and you'll be a doctor in a few years. I personally know some of these students. They couldn't get seats here.
It's actually hard for them to work in India afterwards because they've to do more formalities. They still go because being a doctor is everything for their family.
Same reason so many Indian students in Ukraine.

Its the same in Pakistan the ones not selected in NUST , LUMS and IBA go abroad or settle for private universities. China would be comparable to Malaysia/Turkey bracket rather than US/UK/Canada/Germany when it comes to quality of universities.
