Top in-demand courses abroad
Studying abroad has always appealed to Indian students—not only for the chance to experience world-class education, but also for the access it provides to international career opportunities. The global job market is changing faster than ever, driven by technological transformation, environmental priorities, healthcare innovation, and new modes of human interaction. For students, this means one thing: choosing a course that's not just academically advanced, but also in high demand. If you're planning your higher education abroad, these fields are leading the way in relevance, salaries, and career growth potential. Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML) Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic concept—it's a daily reality. From voice assistants like Siri and Alexa to driverless cars and predictive healthcare, AI and ML are reshaping how industries operate. Companies in finance, logistics, and medicine are investing heavily in AI systems, creating an urgent demand for experts who can design, optimise, and manage them. Popular study destinations such as the USA, UK, Canada, and Germany offer specialised master's programs in AI and ML. Graduates can explore roles like AI Engineer, Machine Learning Specialist, Robotics Researcher, and Data Scientist. With industries relying increasingly on automation and data-driven decisions, professionals in this field are commanding some of the highest global salaries. Data science & analytics Data is now considered the 'new oil' of the economy, but it only has value if it can be interpreted and applied. That's where data scientists and analysts come in. They help organisations predict market trends, improve performance, and enhance customer experiences by turning raw data into actionable insights. Global firms in e-commerce, healthcare, sports, and even government agencies are seeking skilled data professionals. Courses in Data Science abroad typically combine statistics, programming, and domain-specific knowledge, preparing graduates for positions such as Business Analyst, Data Engineer, and Data Visualisation Expert. The flexibility of this skillset means graduates can switch between industries easily. Healthcare & public health Studying healthcare abroad not only provides access to advanced medical technology and research, but also opens doors to working in global health organisations and hospitals. Programs in countries like Australia, Canada, and the UK often include practical internships, enabling students to work directly with healthcare teams. Roles such as Public Health Officer, Healthcare Administrator, Epidemiologist, and Clinical Research Coordinator are critical in building strong health systems worldwide. Cybersecurity As businesses shift online, the risks of cyberattacks, hacking, and data theft have multiplied. Cybersecurity professionals safeguard sensitive information, protect networks, and prevent large-scale breaches. The field is expanding so quickly that job vacancies often outnumber qualified applicants. Studying cybersecurity abroad allows students to train with cutting-edge technology in specialised labs. Certifications and master's programs cover areas such as ethical hacking, penetration testing, and cryptography. Career paths include Security Analyst, Cybersecurity Consultant, and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO)—roles that are essential in every modern organisation. UI/UX design The success of any digital product—whether it's a mobile app, website, or wearable device—depends heavily on its user experience. UI/UX designers ensure products are both visually appealing and functional. International courses in UI/UX design teach students how to conduct user research, create wireframes, test usability, and apply design thinking. Graduates can work with tech companies, creative agencies, or start their own consultancies. Roles like UX Designer, Product Designer, and Interaction Designer are in demand as businesses compete to create seamless digital experiences for consumers. Marketing & digital strategy In today's hyper-connected world, marketing has transformed into a tech-savvy, data-driven discipline. Brands need professionals who can blend creativity with analytics to engage audiences across platforms. Courses in Digital Marketing, Consumer Psychology, and Brand Strategy—offered widely in countries like the UK, Canada, and Singapore—equip students with skills in content creation, social media strategy, and market research. Graduates can step into roles such as Brand Manager, Digital Marketing Strategist, and Market Analyst, often working with multinational companies or global campaigns. Choosing your path When selecting a course abroad, students should balance their interests with market demand. Fields like AI, Data Science, Cybersecurity, and Healthcare are expected to see strong growth over the next decade, while creative and consumer-focused areas like UI/UX Design and Digital Marketing will thrive in parallel with global business trends. A well-chosen course not only boosts employability but also ensures you can adapt to shifting economic landscapes. As the job market continues to evolve, the ability to combine technical expertise with critical thinking and cultural awareness will be the real key to career success.

Lacklustre session as investors stay on sidelines
Mumbai: Benchmark stock indices Sensex and Nifty ended flat in a highly volatile trade on Thursday as investors turned cautious ahead of the US-Russia talks on August 15. Extending gains to the second day, the 30-share BSE Sensex climbed 57.75 points or 0.07 per cent to settle at 80,597.66. During the day, it rallied 211.27 points or 0.26 per cent to 80,751.18. The 50-share NSE Nifty rose by 11.95 points or 0.05 per cent to 24,631.30. Among Sensex firms, Eternal, Infosys, Asian Paints, HDFC Bank, Bajaj Finserv and Titan were the major gainers. However, Tata Steel, Tech Mahindra, Adani Ports and Bharat Electronics were among the laggards. The Trump-Putin meeting could have significant implications for energy markets, potentially leading to an easing of sanctions against Moscow. 'After a volatile weekly expiry-day session, Indian equities ended flat as investors traded cautiously ahead of the US-Russia summit. IT and pharma stocks advanced on the back of a softer US inflation data and dovish outlook. Banking and consumer durables also gained on hopes of a consumption-led recovery,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Ltd, said.

No pause on Russian oil imports, India continues imports based on economic rationale
India has not halted oil purchases from Russia in response to the US President's tariff threat and continues to buy based solely on economic considerations, said AS Sahney, Chairman of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), the country's largest oil firm. Purchase volumes may fluctuate monthly based on the discounts offered on Russian crude grades like Urals. While discounts had previously reached as high as $ 40 per barrel, they have narrowed to just $ 1.5 late last month, resulting in reduced offtake. Discounts have since widened to about $ 2.70. However, India's intent to continue buying Russian oil remains unchanged. India became the largest customer of Russian oil from 2022, after western countries shunned Russian oil and imposed sanctions on Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine. Sahney said refiners like IOC buy crude oil from Russia purely on economic consideration and have not been asked to cut or boost purchase in response to US tariffs, he said. "There is no pause," he said. Russian oil has continued to flow to Indian refiners in July as well as this month. "We continue to buy, purely based on economic considerations, that is to say if the pricing and characteristics of the crude make sense in our scheme of processing, we buy," he told reporters here. "No special effort is being made to either increase or decrease (the import volumes). We are buying crude as per economic considerations," he said. Imports from Russia made up for 22-23 per cent of all the crude oil that IOC refineries processed in the April-June period. US President Donald Trump last week announced an additional 25 per cent tariff on US imports from India -- raising the overall duty to 50 per cent -- as a penalty for the country's continued imports of Russian oil. Since the steep tariffs are likely to hit the $ 40 billion of non-exempt exports that India does to the US, there has been chatter around stopping or curtailing oil imports from Russia. "There are no sanctions on Russian crude," he said. "India has not done anything that violates any sanctions". Separately, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) Director (Finance) Vetsa Ramakrishna Gupta on an investor call said the discounts have narrowed to $ 1.5 per barrel, and led to lower imports last month. In the first quarter, Russian oil made up 34 per cent of BPCL's crude intake and the company hopes to return to a 30-35 per cent ratio as long as there are no sanctions, he said. Before February 2022, Russian crude oil accounted for less than 1 per cent of India's total oil imports. However, after Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, western nations shunned Russian energy, leading to Russian crude being available at discounted rates compared to global benchmarks. Seizing the economic opportunity, India ramped up its purchases, significantly increasing its reliance on Russian oil to meet domestic energy needs. Russian crude oil now meets 30 per cent of the requirement. Sahney said at no time was import of crude oil from Russia sanctioned and so India continued to purchase keeping in mind economic considerations. "Such purchases will continue unless sanctions are imposed," he said. "We have not got any instruction (from the government) to either increase or decrease purchase. We are doing business as usual." About talk of refiners being asked to increase purchases from the US in a bid to placate Trump, IOC Chairman said, "Neither are we being told to buy more nor are we told to buy less from US or any other destination. Economic considerations dictate our actions."
