VRUSHALI Mehta got through INSEAD and was proud of her achievement. However, she was offered a place in INSEAD’s satellite campus at Singapore. Her parents were overjoyed. Singapore is four hours away from India and has emerged as one of the important destination for Indian students. Numerous Indian students go there ever year to study Management, Engineering, IT and Tourism courses. Apart from INSEAD, there are other popular private educational campuses like those of SP Jain Centre of Management and SIM University.
In addition, National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University and Singapore Management University have emerged as top choices of Indian students. Singapore has lower cost of living than most developed countries. Students do not require a work-permit but can work a maximum of 16 hours a week. The institute usually provides assistance to students to apply for Student Pass (visa).
