The North East student market is among the biggest contributor to the student campuses of institutions in India.
According to a study by the Govt. of Assam in 2007, up to 50,000 students per year leave Assam to study in the rest of India. This number is even higher for the states like Meghalaya and Mizoram.
Absence of specialized educational institutions force students to study outside this region. Students who want to study in high-demand areas like management, medical, technology, hospitality, fashion, etc. do not have any option but to go to other cities in India.
In recent days, parents are able to spend reasonably on their children’s education more than earlier. Bank loans are also of easy reach.
Adverse Political situation, and lack of local employment opportunities force people to opt for studies in other states like Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, etc.
