Students Coming From Nepal

Bangalore, the capital of the Indian state of Karnataka, located in southern India, is mostly referred to as the IT capital of India and a fastest-growing major metropolis. The place has emerged as one of the favorite and the most sought after destinations for many Nepalese students who are passionate to the studies of Nursing, Pharmacy, and other health care system. It is not a new matter for the Nepalese students to seek for their career in Medical Science, as it is the most prestigious and socially recognized career and profession. Nursing career and profession are not only interest and passion to many Nepalese students, but also a long-preserved and awaited dream, and still an ideal profession. Had here been sufficient allocated seats available in the Nepalese Universities for Nursing Studies, especially in the Bachelor level, perhaps the Nepalese students would not have found themselves in trouble. The surrounding social conditions and contexts of the present Nepal do not seem to favor one to dwell in and accomplish their dream in nursing career, when universities and colleges here in Nepal are not allocating sufficient seats for the passionate students. In absence of expected, favorable environment, the passion itself compels one to search for the other available options. Now Bangalore is such an easily accessible, well-known and affordable option in which many Nepalese students are putting their eye on.

This is the pretext for Nepalese Students to choose Bangalore as a destination for their study. Here may arise a question why Bangalore but not other nation-states. Some people may have question why not Delhi and any other Indian states. Firstly, we know that the US and Australia are the central zones of attractions for many Nepalese youths to seek for their educational career. However, Nursing Studies in the Western and American nations is cost consuming and beyond affordability and access of many middle class Nepalese families. On one hand, Bangalore, in the rapidly growing world of Nursing Studies, is emerging and gaining an international repute in the filed of BSC nursing. On the other hand, Bangalore contains some specific features to attract the Nepalese students in Nursing. Due to geo-political relations and common cultural sharing, students from Nepal have been found adjusting themselves comfortably in the Indian society. Geographical propinquity, cultural sharing, linguistic commonality, similar climatic situations, easier access, similar grounds of human socialization are other appropriate conditions of Bangalore to attract the Nepalese students there. In addition, India is a neighbor country to Nepal and the Nepalese students have not to face any administrative hassles for Visa processing. Besides these facts, Bangalore is a safe and sound state for girls and Nursing Colleges here do provide hostel facilities to the students, nearer to the nursing college premises.
