Most students in India preferred to pursue higher education in the big cities of the country till a few years ago. However, in the recent past, the number of youngsters travelling abroad for the purpose has witnessed a steady increase.

The favourite destinations of Indian youth, including those from Kerala, for studies and exploring employment opportunities are the UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, the USA and Russia.
