Looking beyond the U.S. for college
Indian students have always viewed the U.S. as a top study destination. However, the ongoing visa challenges, growing concerns around job opportunities after graduation, rising costs, and shifting immigration policies are causing anxiety among applicants and parents. With this looming fear of 'what next', let's explore destinations beyond the U.S. Canada Pros: Appointment of a new Foreign Minister, Anita Anand, and three other Indian-origin leaders: Maninder Sidhu as Minister of International Trade, and Ruby Sahota and Randeep Sarai as Secretaries of State Recent improvements in India-Canada diplomatic relations Postgraduate work permit for up to three years and an easier pathway to permanent residence than most other countries. There is even an express entry route. Diversity, inclusion and a supportive environment for Indian students in the campuses Cons Increased financial documentation requirements and tighter visa rules. Since January 2024, there has been a significant increase in the required proof of funds amount to be shown for the Canadian study permit. Increase in the number of visa application rejections due to policy fluctuations Rising living costs and competition in large cities Germany Pros Approximately 2,300 English-taught programmes Public universities are tuition-free. Up to 18 months post study visa to look for a job. Geographically at the centre of Europe and well connected A strong economy and job market Cons Studienkolleg requirement: Indian high school qualifications (Class 12) are not directly eligible for most public Bachelor's programmes. Students must complete a one-year Studienkolleg foundation programme and pass the Feststellungsprüfung (FSP) before they can begin undergraduate studies. Some Studienkollegs accept B1 for entry, but this is rare and usually for private institutions. Public Studienkollegs often require B2 German. At the Master's level, no German language proficiency is required for admission. While courses are taught in English, German has to be learnt for daily life and work opportunities. Coursework is known to be demanding. Netherlands Pros Many English programmes available in top universities Acceptance rates are higher as compared to other countries.

New Zealand Pros Safe, student-friendly, and supportive environment English-speaking environment makes adjustment easier Pathway programme options allow you to study your dream subject even if you don't initially meet the entry criteria. Cons Far from India and a bit disconnected from the rest of the world. Can be slightly 'boring', as the cities are smaller and quieter. Dubai Pros Globally recognised Indian as well as international universities have campuses here Easy work permit availability for internships/part-time roles Safe, multicultural environment with a strong Indian presence Cons Weather can be harsh, especially in summer Restrictions around free speech and modest culture expectations Some institutions lack strong global rankings or focus on research Japan Pros High-quality education, strong global ranking, and a growing Indian student population Universities offering scholarships, English-taught programmes and favourable part-time work policies Recent growth in English-medium liberal arts programmes Safe, low-crime country Unique cultural immersion alongside technological advancement Cons Major language barrier; even in a city like Tokyo, getting by without Japanese can be an issue.

Natural drinks in demand, Kerala to pop ‘neera' again
KOCHI: fter years of dwindling production, neera, the nutritious, unfermented sap sourced from the flower of coconut palms, is experiencing a renewed surge in demand in Kerala. While the state, a pioneer in neera production, saw output plummet after 2018 due to floods, climate change, and Covid, neighbouring states such as Tamil Nadu and Karnataka capitalised on growing consumer preference for healthy, natural beverages. However, there is now hope for neera lovers in Kerala with renewed interest among entrepreneurs and coconut farmers for the produce. 'While the Palakkad Coconut Producer Co Ltd (PCPCL) continues to operate successfully, another farmer-owned company focusing on value-added coconut products, including neera, has started functioning in Thrissur. Furthermore, a biotechnology firm in Kalamassery, Kochi has developed an energy drink — Energy Neer — from neera,' said Deepthi Nair S, director (marketing), Coconut Development Board, Kochi. The Thrissur Coconut Producer Co Ltd (TCPCL), which was formed a year back, focusses on the cococonut-based energy drink and is all set to expand its operations. 'We started on a small scale, mostly limited to Thrissur. Now that we're finding a good market for neera, thanks to consumers turning health conscious, we are set to expand our operations. We'll roll out the product in other districts, besides Thrissur and Ernakulam, and also plan to export the produce at a later stage. For that we've planned to increase production from the current 100 litres a day to 1,000 litres in the next one year,' Vinayan E V, chairman of TCPCL, told TNIE. Consumer preference for natural products has also resulted in demand for tender coconut water, which is being packaged and shipped to north Indian states in large quantities. 'Around 200 truckloads from Pollachi and 150 from Madurai — each truck with 10,000 to 12,000 tender coconuts — are transported daily. Consumers have become health conscious and demand for natural products are up,' Deepthi said.
