Small cities rivalling metros in candidates heading abroad
Mint Mumbai
|November 04, 2023
Some of India's smallest cities are shoulder to shoulder with top metros when it comes to students and professionals seeking a future abroad, data showed.
Tier-IV and-V cities such as Guntur, Ongole (Andhra Pradesh), Khammam, Warangal, Nalgonda, and Karimnagar (Telangana) are seeing a flurry of applications for the Test of English as a Foreign Language (Toefl) and Graduate Record Examinations (GRE).
According to data shared with Mint, the number of applications for Toefl from Guntur surpassed that from Mumbai to record the second highest number of applications in FY22 and FY23. Similarly, Ongole and Prakasam, both in AP, entered the list of top 20 Indian cities in FY23, pushing capital New Delhi lower in the list for GRE applications.
Noting the increased interest, consulting firms and nonbanking financial companies (NBFCs) are pushing their teams to widen reach, offering discounts to tap a vast catchment of candidates.
