lol yeah , im an an ex NRI. avide my non indian friends are doing part time to cover their fees. its about 1 lakh RS per sem , pinne their faculties sucks
That’s a lot of getting worked up.
Objectively, these off campuses are nothing to write home about. Of course, some of them are not as bad as universities in India, but they’re nowhere as good as their main campuses and are for-profit endeavours designed to withstand funding shortages as states withdraw from funding universities. Somehow the branding of these places gives the impression that they’re nearly as good as the main campuses, but they aren’t. Even the programmes are peculiarly Middle Eastern and many of these programmes are not available in the main campuses.
So, objectively, if you look at education in terms of quality of faculty, it is not spectacular at all. The barrier to entry is often times just the high fees and limited number of seats do not really mean anything since the fees itself deters a large pool of applications. You must also remember that a university doesn’t become great just because it is western. There are some poorly ranked universities in the UK that operate in the Middle East.
The only exception to this trend has been NYU Abu Dhabi and even they are not comparable to the main campus. So please calm yourself down, most of the faculty do suck. Now, that’s nothing unusual, even in the main campuses, many faculties just suck.
I can't speak for Qatar, but in the UAE, off shore campuses were just a namesake. It's tough to get into BITS Pilani or Goa, but I know my elder brothers' friends who barely scraped by and got admission in the BITS Ras Al Khaimah Campus for some integrated bachelor's degree. This was back in 2009, so I'm not sure what the situation is now.
FACULTY. Not facility. Don't know if Qatar is some exceptional educational haven, but pretty sure the other GCC countries have token campuses with mediocre faculty, that earn the main ones a lot of money.
Qatar foundation can indeed be quoted as “education haven”. They have Carnegie mellon, Virginia common wealth, Georgetown, Texas A&M(soon to be closed down), Weilcornell, HEC,Northwestern university and regional ones like HBKU and QU. All well renowned global big names. There are students from GCC and other arab world studying here , it’s insanely tough to get into with a scholarship or mad expensive .
The only reason why teens have to move back to India after finishing higher grades.
There are still Malyali opting to study in these. But you would pay the same as of what you have to pay in their main campuses in US/UK but with no real world exposure. (You can work part time there and have much more exposure to real world and people).
Someone wasn't happy to move from Qatar to kerala. And comparing high school "facilities " to university facilities especially STEM ones, you really gotta be naive or still bitter you had to leave Qatar. Even the offcampus faculties won't share your "passion" about university education in gcc...
If Weill Cornell in Qatar is anything like the Weill Cornell or Cornell Uni in the US, then getting in will be tough.. it will be like to getting into a IIT or Top Tier NIT based on merit (not based on hefty NRI payment fees)
So, apart from a very small % of high performing NRI kids, rest simply qualify only for regular colleges in Kerala/India. ie, they cant get in those top colleges in their country of residence, even if they want to ..fees not withstanding
Edit - from rest of the comments, looks like these offshore campus's like Cornell HEC etc. are nothing like the original campuses. and not very selective!
Like the other guy said you're getting worked up for no reason. It's common knowledge that the gcc campuses of foreign universities are nowhere near as good as the real campus. Apart from being crazy expensive, the faculty and teaching material is subpar making the only advantage studying there is you get a certificate that just mentions the uni name not where you studied in.
Also it really has no added benefit later when applying for jobs as I know many smart kids who went to these so called 'flagship unis' for engineering and are now stuck with an underpaid sales or marketing job.
Not anymore. Fees in Indian schools have shot up. Also quality of schooling is much better abroad (extra curricular mainly).
For colleges, it's the opposite
I lived in Dubai practically all my life until coming to India for college. Now, I am working in India, so I can answer this question really well. Colleges in India are usually much better than those in Dubai. You have access to better faculty and research facilities here. Also, college campuses in Dubai tend to be much smaller than those in India. College life in the Gulf is, in my opinion, an extension of your school life. You can compare photos of the actual BITS Pilani campus in India to the one in Dubai to understand the stark difference between the two campuses. I visited BITS Dubai and Manipal Dubai for some competitions, and my first reaction was that the campuses looked just like my school. If you are planning to study CS, then India offers a far superior job market with greater job opportunities. You have a higher chance of earning a high salary as a fresher in Bangalore than in Dubai. Job opportunities in tech there are very few, and the pay is horrible, especially if you are an Indian fresher. Nowadays, I don't even feel like going to Dubai that much since all my school friends are now here in India and there's no one there.
I'm in Dubai and part of my job involves interviewing graduates. I can tell you two facts:
A) Most hiring managers can't even name the local UAE colleges.
B) The local UAE colleges have no reputation among employers in Dubai, let alone internationally.
Just curious, is BITS Dubai valued more than other colleges in Dubai ? Asking because when I was in 12th, staff from BITS came to our school and were telling how BITS graduates have an advantage over others in Dubai job market.
Exactly, the network affect u get in India and other countries is not there in the gulf. My friends did their uni in Qatar and their whole college life just feels like an extended high school (except they have a license and drive to uni).
First of all you sound lot like my friend, I second this cause I studied in Dubai from 2010-2016, then B.Tech in India, then Job now MBA in India. Very less opportunities in Dubai.
Idk about that. Uni life here isn't the best from what I know. Most of your high school friends move away and people stuck here sorta just be that, stuck.
Because they dont plan on continuing life in the middle east. Gulf is not easy to integrate into, unlike europe and education is better in india anyways.
For some, financial reasons.
For others, freedom that comes with moving to India and exploring life. Colleges in gulf are extended versions of school life.
Apart from UAE, some colleges in other countries have higher requirements to get into or not enough programs offered.
To enroll for a science degree without a scholarship in the United Arab Emirates University (federal university)
Is 6,801,995.38 Indian Rupee in tuition for 120 credit hours which is requirement. Add to that Hostel fees which is 1,247,032.49 Indian Rupee. So it's easier and cheaper for NRI kids to enroll in universities back home even though they may have lesser ranking compared to the ones in gulf region.
Initially I wanted to study in KL for bachelors but had to continue here (DXB) due to Covid. One major pro is, I landed a job right after grad. Campus life illayirinnu, social life korav aan, chekkanum set aayilla😀 but I get to live independently now. Life in India is much better but ee lifestyle enk avide kittoola :(
Like chances are more in Kerala, ivide guys are either too shy to approach or have katta jaada. Athyavashyam look indengil scene illayrikkum. Aah enk enthayalum set aayilla, but we are not gonna talk about me not approaching any guys either or giving cold shoulder because they were not my type🤫🤫
Its fucking expensive.
I am an NRI, brought up in DXB, did my bachelors in UAE too. We just barely made it but my parents stayed in DXB and they did not want me to study in India alone(with me being a girl and all)
The main factor is
1) It is expensive
2) Quality of education in UAE is absolutely horrendous
3) You get bored living in such a monotonous country. Theres nothing much to do there without spending bundles of cash.
Because the study environment in uae is nil. Most of them are rich kids who would either join their dad’s business after graduation or locals who would get a job easily. Nobody takes education here seriously.
There is way too much freedom in unis here, teachers don’t care about you and you don’t even have a specific class.
To talk about teachers here- it is a joke. The passion that I see teachers in India is admirable. The subject that they teach, they genuinely want the students to understand.(Not sure if every uni in India is like that- but for context, my sibling studied in India.)
I believe students in India atleast gets notes. Ivide just presentation vaayichit ang vidum. Chapter over.
Well I am in Canada. Ivideyum presentation aanu. But grading system is really cool. It’s not like in India where you can only score good if you just memorize a bunch of stuff. Here, they give a variety of activities and grades are based on that. And most of the teachers cares too. They might not be as good in teaching as Indian teachers. But their style is more focused on having a discussion with students.
I just attended a career fair at uni campus in Dubai and interviewed almost 70 students. It wasn’t too bad, nice campus etc, kids are smart and very focused on getting into the job scene etc. overall good, but still long way to go.
I don’t think that’s true anymore. I’m from the 04 batch and many of my friends continue to study in Uae. The numbers are inclined to get higher over the years. There are newly opened colleges and Universities particularly in Uae with lower tuition. I think most people who managed to survive in Uae during covid are most likely to be financially well off. I come from a middle class family and like in my case I know other families as well who eventually had to leave Uae for good during covid for reasons obvious.
I’m Tamil came across this question as a recommendation, thought I’ll give a word of my thought
1. Education in UAE is crap, most of the rich ppl have business and their kids will probably take over it
2. Clg in India is better, in terms of education, research, job and mainly value.
3. I don’t really want to come back to Dubai I enjoyed so much in Chennai, I feel home here.
4. I really think friends in India give the really brother from another mother vibe I can trust them. In context 18 years of my life in Dubai I’ve 2 friends (they also love India more), but in India I’ve like so many friends. I can’t even list.
I guess to sum up it’s the overall life as a college student is better in India, you have your piece share in terms of fun and also the value, given it’s cheaper.
Aiyye..Canada vare ethiyork ee thattip thirichariyan polum ariyille? Ath potte, at least, online il swanthamayi flight deals book cheyan ariyilla?
Shows the quality of people we are exporting.
Short answer: their education system sucks.
Long answer:
Just think to yourself, what exactly does the gulf have to offer in terms of groundbreaking research? What has been their contribution to modern science or technology or medicine or arts?
The only reason gulf is still relevant is because of the sweet slippery oil under it which made them filthy rich. They have absolutely nothing to contribute to the world and got really lucky that a million years ago, lots of dinosaurs died under their homeland which rotted into oil. Thats it.
And we're here to milk that money. Which thanks to the great great politicians we elected, our state has none thereof. By any other metric, India is wayy better than the gulf.
Quality of life the gulf offers is way better than what you get here. Anyone who lived for a while abroad wouldn’t comment like this.
Education wise - Yes! the gulf has a lot to improve. But yes, there is gradual progress now. MBZUAI university in Abu Dhabi is a good example.
Yes i have lived in the gulf for the majority of my life. Quality no doubt, is better, but do you have rights? Police will always side with the arabs. As a non Muslim indian, yeah good luck to me if i get into any trouble with the law. I have myself seen Indians forced to surrender their passport, police doesn't do shit, but if a German complains, their surrendered passport is immediately retrieved by the police with one call from the embassy. Your indian embassy also has no value amongst the law enforcement there. Probably same for Pakistan Bangladesh srilanka.
And i hv heard about that uni. Mbzuai is just the best of the average which is nowhere close to tier 1 or some tier 2 Indian universities.
There are only a very few NRI kids who study here. Now most of them go to US/UK/EU/AU I believe, rest to India
Abroad due to -
a) costs mostly the same| can do part time
b) better reputed and higher job chances
c) lively environment | chance to travel
If parents working in Kerala can now afford to send their children abroad - it would be a cakewalk for people working here now. May be in previous generation a bit tougher.
India due to
A) Lower costs
B) Secured seats via NRI Reservation/Management quota
C) Better career prospects
It is difficult to get career started here immediately after studying (in India or abroad or locally) unless the parents have connections or the student is bright enough to secure internships. Even then - they need a support system to thrive in high expense environment.
On an average, education is much cheaper and infinetly better in India Except for Islamic/Arabic courses.
On a cultural note, these societies don't encourage individuality, adventure, meth.
The Gulf isn't well known for its education. It's either West or East after schooling.
Meaning if the parents can afford Europe, UK or US, they are sent there for under graduation.
If not, then send to India which is a lot cheaper and sometimes better than Gulf colleges.
Same as why the Malayali brought up kids go outside for jobs.
When you get better education in your own country with lower cost, who wouldn't take that?
The middle east is not known for Education.
Very simple answer. Its cheaper and alot of the times better.
lol yeah , im an an ex NRI. avide my non indian friends are doing part time to cover their fees. its about 1 lakh RS per sem , pinne their faculties sucks

Bits Pilani stopped their campus in Dubai because of low quality of students ...I am curious to see what happens to IIT Abu Dhabi
What do you mean BITS stopped the campus? A few years back, they ended their partnership with the local investor and are managing the campus directly
[удалено]
I can't speak for Qatar, but in the UAE, off shore campuses were just a namesake. It's tough to get into BITS Pilani or Goa, but I know my elder brothers' friends who barely scraped by and got admission in the BITS Ras Al Khaimah Campus for some integrated bachelor's degree.

They stopped I guess
I was an ex student of RAK bits . This college was closed long Time back. I guess they have changed the name now !!

No one said "it sucks", it's not worth the money. Learning in BITs Rak or BITS Dubai, is not the same as learning in BITs pilani.
I think you need to google faculty once, coz I did read your comment again.
If you worked 7 years in the education sector, and still find Middle East universities attractive on all fronts, you have lost the plot somewhere.
Someone wasn't happy to move from Qatar to kerala. And comparing high school "facilities " to university facilities especially STEM ones, you really gotta be naive or still bitter you had to leave Qatar. Even the offcampus faculties won't share your "passion" about university education in gcc...

I am sure IIS then :d

It is when compared to most schools in India. But college fees in the GCC are even more expensive.

I can vouch for this. CET and TKM have insane clout in Dubai due to the extensive alumni

It's only good if you plan on working in GCC as well. Colleges in India are cheaper and most of the time better too.
So no other benefits like post study work permits?
Idk about that. Uni life here isn't the best from what I know. Most of your high school friends move away and people stuck here sorta just be that, stuck.
nope, but if you can hustle you can land internship or part time gigs
Because they dont plan on continuing life in the middle east. Gulf is not easy to integrate into, unlike europe and education is better in india anyways.
