Study Abroad from Kolkata: What You Need to Know
Kolkata: Where Academic Tradition Meets Global Ambition
Kolkata has one of India's richest academic traditions. Home to Presidency University, Jadavpur University, IIT Kharagpur (nearby), and legendary schools like La Martiniere, South Point, and St. Xavier's, the city has produced some of India's greatest intellectuals, scientists, and business leaders. Today, a new generation of Kolkata students is carrying this tradition to the world's best universities. From Amartya Sen to Abhijit Banerjee (both Nobel laureates with Kolkata roots), the city has a proven track record of producing globally impactful scholars.
Eastern India's Study Abroad Hub
Kolkata serves as the study abroad hub for all of Eastern India — from Bihar and Jharkhand to Odisha and the Northeast. Students and families from these regions find it easier to connect with KGC's online consultations from Kolkata. The city's strong humanities tradition means Kolkata students often excel in areas like economics, political science, literature, and social sciences — fields where universities like Oxford, Cambridge, LSE, and Columbia particularly value diverse perspectives. Our counsellors help Kolkata students articulate these unique intellectual backgrounds in compelling applications.
Study Abroad Trends from Kolkata
UK universities are particularly popular with Kolkata students, reflecting the city's historical Anglo-Indian cultural connections. Oxford and Cambridge PPE, LSE Economics, and Edinburgh's arts programs attract many applicants. The US remains the top destination overall, with liberal arts colleges (Amherst, Williams, Swarthmore) being especially popular among Kolkata's intellectually curious students. Canada's affordable options and PR pathways have also gained significant traction. We help each Kolkata student find the right fit based on their academic interests, financial situation, and career aspirations.
