Studying abroad after 2020

Due to the fear of coronavirus, every industry possible except manufacturing had moved to online all over the world. Exclusively education has adapted in pace with the world and moved online. 

Firstly question yourself why are going abroad to study just for an online degree you could do it from India itself or your home country. Many online platforms are to provide online degree from the foreign university at 1/20th of the price. Simplilearn and Ugrad. Best of this is upgrad. I request to use O0is03 as referral code if in case you take up a course in upgrad. https://www.upgrad.com/product-management/?ref=O0is03

Every foreign university and colleges have accepted the online study and were already in implementation(according to the sources of students presently working here). This means if you go abroad to study there will no visiting the campus. The daily routine would be to sit in our room and check in the laptop. Mainly we Indians opt for higher studies not just to obtain a degree but also to experience the way of life and international exposure. people on the same courses to limit social mixing, while traditional freshers' weeks and large-scale lectures are likely to be off the cards. 

This would lead to difficulty in obtaining jobs in future in the same country as we had less exposure to the culture and being confined to the room for longer times could affect our confidence level to clear the interview. Even the part-time jobs were confined. I personally believe to wait a year and let the things settle down. 

Moreover, the same education model which was not recommended by many economists. But there is no other way than go with the pace. If it were a century back every child would lose a year in the education. Thanks to development in online and its ease of use.

Finally, many institutions are offering hybrid classes, with lectures online and small number circularly confined campus teaching throughout the week. This means half-day of class per week in the name of hybrid classes. With this much difficulty to obtain a degree thus the difficulty to obtain a job. I request you all to postpone any plans for studying abroad for at least a year.
