Why should I go Abroad? Was the question he presented before the audience as he opened his session. He answered the question by narrating his personal experiences which compiled his exposure to different academic and social cultures. Studying abroad was discussed in detail by addressing the academic process, Programmes available, authentic universities and ideal country. As the session was nearing its end, he gracefully suggested students choose France for Business and Germany for South Asian Studies. He also gave a spoiler alert that the 3year undergraduate programme is not accepted in every university.
