In 2018, I had the opportunity to meet a group of Taiwanese professors coming to Mumbai to promote Taiwan’s higher education to Indian students, but there were not many Indian students interested in Taiwan due to a lack of adequate information. I think this is an unfortunate thing that Indian students miss out on a high chance to “ Study for Free” in Taiwan, because of the various programs and resources/scholarships available in Taiwan.

Then I decided to set up EduCare Taiwan!

To increase awareness of the benefits of studying in Taiwan and provide correct and “student-oriented” consultation.

I found that the majority of overseas consultants in India do not charge students, but they receive the commission payback from the student’s tuition fee from the university to which they introduced the students to. So the overseas consultants are not working for students to find the best fit courses to study, but to guide the students to those universities which pay them the commission!

In the spring of 2019, I found EduCare Taiwan. I thought EduCare Taiwan can fly high because :

• The high quality education that Taiwanese universities provide – Top 5 Taiwan universities have better world QS rankings than Top IITs,
• The affordable cost- tuition + living cost a year = 6 lacs without any scholarship. However, more than 50% of the students will receive different kinds of tuition waivers and scholarships. For a student with a GPA of 8 and good supporting documents, the family only needs to prepare 4 lac for him/ her to complete his/ her post-graduation or Ph.D. ( or even both combined). This is an even cheaper cost than studying in India.
