    US goes off students’ radar as rupee slides against dollar

    CHANDIGARH: Amandeep Singh, who has just completed his engineering from a private college in Landran, was all set to seek admission in US for his masters. Following the slide in rupee value vis-a-vis the dollar, his destination has changed to China. Though China and Turkey are the new destinations which have caught the attention of students, Canada, New Zealand and Australia are still the favourites.

    Aman Manchanda, an overseas education consultant based in the city said, “The dollar rate has increased in these countries too. But students have lost their craze for the US with slump in market there and difficulty in obtaining permanent residency (PR). In Canada, Australia and New Zealand PR comes after a year.” Thus instead of looking for greener pastures in the US, those interested in an offshore education tag are either looking for domestic market or countries which are offering incentives like tuition fee waiver and an early PR. Dr Vishal, orthopedic surgeon in PGI, said, “For practicing medicine in the US one needs to clear an entrance exam which used to cost some Rs 3.5 lakh. But with the rupee sliding down, the cost would now rise to Rs 5 -6 lakh. Thus it’s not feasible anymore and it seems that there are better options back home after completion of MD/MS.”

    For those coming from north India, including Chandigarh and Punjab, Canada has not lost its sheen. Akriti Sharma, a pass out from MCM College, said, “The best part about Canada is that the PR comes within a year. Plus work permit can be attained and I have relatives there for support too, unlike in Singapore where foreign students cannot get employment at all.” Turkey is offering a wide range of scholarships to woo students. “Europe and US are almost out of reach for students. Whereas Turkey taking advantage of the rupee fall has started offering 75% waiver in tuition fees for Indian students. This is an emerging destination and we are giving this as an option to those who want a foreign tag,” said Manoj Kalra, a Panchkula-based immigration consultant.

    With the sliding rupee value, my chances of studying abroad seem bleak now. I hope by the time I graduate, this crisis ends

    Initially, I had planned on getting a loan to fund my education abroad and pay it off myself without putting pressure on my parents. But now this too seems like a tough call

    My plans of studying abroad may not work out now but it has made me more committed to getting into the best university in India

    Melvin Thomas | IIIrd year PEC

    I have already started working on finding government-sponsored scholarships for my further studies abroad as it has become unthinkable to pay all of the fee without taking help

    I ended my three-year relationship with New Orleans this past August. I have had flirtations with other places, but whenever I was done it was New Orleans I came back to.

    I know I am not the only one New Orleans is committed to, but regardless, every time I was welcomed back with open arms.

    On Aug. 28 though, we called it quits for our longest separation yet: four months. A fling in Greece was just the beginning. The real change was the possibility of a new love: Istanbul, Turkey.

    I have never been on a blind date, but I am sure the feelings of anxiety, insecurity and even fright are very similar. What if they don’t like me? Should I have worn something else? What if they’re hideous? How do I get out of here without them noticing?

    The initial meeting was, as expected, very awkward—new city, new country and a new language. The thrill of the honeymoon period was great; I loved everything about every new place. I was eager to spend time exploring my new home.

    However, the honeymoon period ends, and you get frustrated with the lack of pork even though you do not eat it, no English, and the stares you get for being obviously out of place. You are homesick for the familiar, but in relationships you do not just give up at the first sign of trouble.

    At least that is what they tell me, I would not know from experience. My longest relationship was with a place, and despite my first comment, I did ditch at the first sign of trouble. Life is about growth, and I will get it right. I just decided to root somewhere else for a little while.

    I enjoy Istanbul, though. The nightlife is reminiscent of a former love, but the culture is unique.

    Turkey as the “bridge between two continents” is amazing. I can have breakfast in Europe and dinner in Asia. I have been to the palaces of sultans and places of worship that service Christians and Muslims alike. I remember walking into Hagia Sophia and gasping because the sight was breathtaking. I enjoy taking the dolmus (a share taxi) to Sariyer, a neighboring town, to grocery shop.

    I am proud to be able to recognize Turkish words and places, even if the only words are “what,” “thank you,” “please,” and food names, and even if the places are the locations of dance clubs and shopping malls.

    I am forced to think about what I do and say. I am constantly on alert, and though it is exhausting, it is necessary. New Orleans and I were falling into a routine, and when New Orleans becomes dull, it is obvious you need to make a change.

    My time here has helped my love of New Orleans grow stronger. Friends and I challenge each other with fun facts about our home cities, and so far I am up a few points with the “yes, you can drink alcohol on the street legally” argument.

    I am committed to my new home and it is possible we will have an affair again in the future, but my former love can count on me returning at least for a little while. I just had to make New Orleans miss me.

  • Academics balk at ‘spying’ on students to nail migrant scams

    Academics balk at ‘spying’ on students to nail migrant scams

    Polly Curtis, education editor

    guardian.co.uk, The Guardian, Monday November 10 2008

    Universities are being asked to set up surveillance units to monitor the movements of international students in a government-led crackdown on bogus student immigration scams, academics say. New rules to force universities to report overseas students who miss too many lectures to immigration officers will harm the academic-student relationship because lecturers are being asked to act in a “police-like” manner, according to a group of 200 academics and activists opposing the moves.

    A letter to the Guardian, organised by Ian Grigg-Spall, academic chair of the National Critical Lawyers Group and signed by leading academic lawyers, the head of the lecturers’ union and Tony Benn, claims that the rules could breach the European convention on human rights, which guarantees the individual’s right to privacy. “This police-like surveillance is not the function of universities and alters the educational relationship between students and their teachers in a very harmful manner,” it says. “University staff are there to help the students develop intellectually and not to be a means of sanctioning these students.”

    The rules will require all universities to obtain a licence to admit students from outside the EU. They will then have to sponsor students, who will be required to have their fingerprints taken and be issued with ID cards. Lecturers will have to report any student who misses 10 or more lectures or seminars. Students will also have to prove they have funds to cover fees plus £800 a month for the duration of their courses. Universities have separately raised concerns that the system of registering overseas students, which is planned to take place at six centres around the country, will struggle to cope.

    About 350,000 overseas students attend British universities every year. Universities are heavily dependent on the £2.5bn a year they pay in fees.

    Almost 300 bogus colleges have been uncovered in the past three years, many involved in immigration scams.

    Sally Hunt, general secretary of the University and College Union, said: “We have grave concerns that new rules on monitoring foreign students have been pulled together without any consultation with the people who would implement them. We do not believe it is appropriate or effective to task colleges and universities with the policing of immigration.”

    A Home Office spokesman said: “Those who come to Britain must play by the rules and benefit the country. This new route for students will ensure we know exactly who is coming here to study and stamp out bogus colleges who facilitate the lawbreakers.

    “International students contribute £2.5bn to the UK economy in tuition fees alone. The student tier of the points system means Britain can continue to recruit good students from outside Europe.”
