As the government lifted lockdown and eased Covid-19 related restrictions, it led to a surge in people willing to travel abroad for study-related purposes.
Incepted by Abhinav Jain in the year 2007, Gateway International has successfully carved a
niche for itself in the segment by helping thousands of students go abroad for studies.
Additionally, under the guidance of co-founder Ashray Jain, the brand has positioned itself as one of India’s best study abroad consultants. Jain answers a few questions about Gateway International, problems faced by students, and prospects of studying abroad.
Why is there a growing trend to study abroad?
Being in the realm of travel and immigration, I realised one of the primary reasons young Indian students are enthusiastic about travelling abroad for studies is the lack of reputed colleges and universities and the lack of seats in some of the top-tier colleges in India. Additionally, most of the students go abroad because of the abundance of job opportunities post the completion of their courses, and this trend has been increasing with each passing year.
However, it is also true that the Covid-19 pandemic impacted this growing trend due to
numerous countries imposing restrictions on travel. Now that things are getting regular, the
trend has picked up pace again. Students have again started to apply for admissions to
various universities and colleges. With flights starting to fly across the globe, this is
something to feel happy about.
How Gateway International helps students?
With a dedicated team of experienced counselors, we help students select the ideal college that suits the student’s interests. Post that, we assist in filling out an error-free application form, which most Indian students find hard to do, given that the format is different from our country. Our experts also ensure that the students draft the most appropriate statement of purpose, which is a critical part of the entire admissions process. We then assist our students in their preparation for the interview so that they can secure a seat in the colleges/universities they applied for.
Why are UK, USA, and Canada sought-after destinations?
There is no doubt that the UK, Canada, and the USA are the top study destinations for Indian students. The reason is the country’s welcoming economic immigration gateway, the
express entry system, which grants additional points for Canadian education. In addition,
many Canadian provinces extend an opportunity for permanent residence for eligible international graduates of their universities. Moreover, Canada also has many top-ranked
universities which offer quality education at a much lower cost than US universities. Both
countries also allow students to take up part-time jobs while pursuing their studies. This is
one of the major reasons both countries have a substantial Indian diaspora. Other factors
also include a favorable academic environment and flourishing job prospects.
Why is Gateway International special?
We, at Gateway International, unlike the other competitors in the market, provide a plethora of services to the students. Our services include application and admission assistance, test preparation, financial aid and scholarship, and visa assistance. Apart from this, for the convenience of our students, we also provide pre departure and post departure services as well. Our pre-departure services include currency conversion, international sim card, travelling assistance, pre-departure briefing, and insurance. In contrast, our post departure services include airport pickups, accommodation, getting part-time jobs, and many other endless services. With a wide range of services, we ensure our students are just focused on their careers rather than worrying about anything.
Future mission
We started Gateway International with a vision to stand as the top overseas education
consultants globally while guiding as many students as possible to attain their full academic
potential. Our mission is to assist students in making the right choice regarding pursuing higher education in overseas educational institutions so that they can make a future for themselves. We want to position ourselves as the top-notch study abroad consultant that is helping our students in every possible way to make their dream of studying abroad come true.
