Are the degrees from UK, Australia and NZ recognized in India?

Global Reach only represents the Universities that are recognized in the home country where they are established. It is our general understanding that there is a norm of mutual recognition that works. In addition to the Universities being recognised, it is important to understand that the recognition of qualifications work differently. For example, the professional qualifications in Medicine, Law, Dentistry etc are government by regulations of the the various professional bodies as systems vary. The peak body in in India that gives recognition and provides equivalences is ASSOCIATION OF INDIAN UNIVERSITIES (AIU) and its website is www.aiuweb.org  and on its equivalence page it indicates...

The Association of Indian Universities have signed Protocol/Memorandum of Understanding with the following Countries:

Arab Republic of Egypt
Russian Federation
Australia, Germany
Sri Lanka

As per the provisions of the Protocol and Memorandum of Understanding, the degrees awarded by the accredited Universities of these concerned countries, for the full time programmes offered on the Campus of the country of origin, are accepted for admission to higher courses by Indian Universities on reciprocal basis. +2 stage Foreign examinations recognized by AIU

The AIU also has a detailed equivalence bulletin dated 2009 on this link  http://www.aiuweb.org/Evaluation/IB%202009.pdf which gives the general guidelines for degrees from around the world.

What does it cost to study overseas?

It depends on the destination, course and the institution. Generally speaking UK costs about Rs.10 -14 lakhs per annum, Australia costs Rs. 8 -12 lakhs per annum and NZ costs Rs. 8-9 lakhs per annum. There are few scholarships and hence students have to be largely self-funded or avail loans from Indian banks (Indian banks applicable for Indian students). Global Reach has tie-ups with some banks making the educational loans very accessible. 

The above costing assumes that the student is not working part time. Though part time work is not guaranteed, students are allowed to work part time off campus in Australia, New Zealand and in U.K. Several students do work part time and subsidize some of the costs.

Can I work/settle overseas after my qualification?

One can always work overseas after any qualification provided one gets the work permit. However, in order to settle (or permanent residency) one has to be aware of Government regulations. Our counsellors can provide the Government website details and general information. Australia and NZ give additional point advantage to PR applicants who hold qualifications from their countries and students with certain qualifications may be able to apply onshore without leaving the country after their studies. UK too has recently introduced certain initiatives regarding working in UK after studies.
