Factors Affecting Student’s Migration for Studying Abroad: A study of the Majha Region of Punjab

The global rivalry in the market for students to study abroad has been much fiercer in recent years. As a result of the increasing level of global competitiveness, a nation's and/or an institution's capacity to understand and satisfy the needs of the market is critical to its success in recruiting and maintaining foreign students. Migration has begun to take the place of senior secondary school as the primary route to higher education in several parts of India, notably in the state of Punjab. The choice to pursue an education in a foreign country is one that is heavily impacted by a variety of variables. The research was conducted on a group of one hundred and twenty students from the Majha district of Punjab (India) and have aspirations of moving to a new country. This research is an effort to analyze some of the elements that impact students' choices to study abroad based on the demographic features of the students themselves. The "t-test" was used to conduct the analysis independently. According to the data, it was shown that male students had a greater interest in studying in another country than female students. Rural kids, in contrast to their urban counterparts, have a strong interest in traveling outside of the country. In addition, students who are married and students who are part of traditional households have a greater influence on the choice to study abroad. The research has repercussions for both the development of policies and the evaluation of student mobility in actual practice. References Chen, L. H. (2007).
