When it comes to higher education abroad, many Indian students automatically think of the USA, Canada, or Germany. But here’s the twist: studying in Taiwan offers advantages that 90% of Indian students still don’t know about. From low tuition fees to world-class tech jobs, Taiwan is quickly becoming Asia’s best-kept secret for international students.
At EduCare Taiwan, we’ve helped hundreds of Indian students discover these advantages, and now we’re sharing the truth with you.
1. You Can Study Without IELTS or TOEFL
Some Taiwanese universities don’t require IELTS or TOEFL. If your bachelor's degree was taught in English, a Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificate is usually enough. This simplifies the process, especially for students from Tier 2 or Tier 3 cities who may not have access to coaching centers.
This flexibility makes studying in Taiwan not only easier but also faster to apply to compared to traditional Western destinations.
2. Scholarships Are Plentiful and Easy to Access
Taiwan offers hundreds of scholarships — from government grants to university-specific funding. In many cases, students get up to 100% tuition coverage plus a monthly stipend of ₹25,000 to ₹40,000.

3. Taiwan Offers ₹1.2-2.4 Lakh/Month Jobs After Masters
Graduates in engineering, biotech, AI, and electronics often land jobs at tech giants like TSMC, MediaTek, ASUS, and Foxconn. Starting salaries after a master’s can be as high as ₹1.2 to ₹2.4 lakh per month.
Unlike the US H-1B visa lottery, Taiwan’s stay-back and work visa policies are simpler and more welcoming for international students.
4. Living Costs Are Surprisingly Low
Living in Taiwan is far more affordable than in the US, UK, or Australia. A student can live comfortably on ₹20,000–30,000 per month, including rent, food, and travel.
This cost advantage makes studying in Taiwan a viable option for students from middle-income families.
5. High-Quality Education in English
Top universities like NTU, NTHU, and NCKU offer fully English-taught master’s and PhD programs. These institutions are ranked in the QS Top 200 and have strong ties with research and industry.
