Studying in a cross-cultural multinational environment could soon become a dream come true for many TN government college students.
The government arts and sciences students and engineering college students across TN could study a semester in a foreign country soon. The Higher Education Dept or HED has been exploring tie ups in this aspect with many foreign universities. It is known that already the students from leading private institutions have been spending a semester abroad.
It was brought out by a senior official from HED that a semester abroad programme would be offered for the final year students.

As many as 50 students would be chosen especially from the rural areas depending on specific criteria including their academic performances. Afterwards, based on the requirement the programme would be extended for many students also. The TN government would bear the entire cost like travel, accommodation etc. This superb programme will be launched soon.`

Here, the courses that are trending currently would be chosen depending on the feedback and suggestions from the experts and high level authorities of HED. He added that only those universities wit high World QS Ranking Score would be chosen.
