0:00 they will explain about the employment opportunities. So this is the most important thing of any any student. So after their program be it bachelor arts, masters or PhD what what will they will they will do. So that is most important. So as you know that in India uh frankly speaking it's little difficult to get a good job after getting your bachelors or masters or PhD. So but compared to Taiwan it's uh much much easier to get jobs after after your program. So basically I I'll briefly go through about uh those good companies or good opportunities that uh most mostly Indian students prefer. Then top companies so few Taiwanese companies as well as uh few global companies which
0:45 which have a good uh footprint in Taiwan. I'll briefly go through about those things. Then uh important one is that program program and universities. So which are different programs generally Indian students prefer to study in Taiwan and which are good universities one Indian students should try for then uh what will be the estimated cost for bachelor students for master students and PhD students. So as you know that in everywhere be it in India or outside India the cost for bachelor students is much higher compared to master students and PhD students. in masters and PhD students mostly students study with their scholarship but in bachelors in India it's very difficult to get scholarship but in Taiwan uh most of the Indian students in
1:32 fact all of the Indian students they study with some kind of scholarship so that is basically my experience of last five years uh basically I'm I'm staying in Taiwan in last five years I have completed my PhD here in Taiwan before that I completed my bachelor's and masters in India one IIT or IIT. So I have fair understanding between Indian education system and Taiwan education system. So I can briefly compare between Taiwan and India. >> Then uh one of the important thing is that scholarship opportunities because uh as you know that particular for bachelor stud bachelor's uh studies it's little uh costly affair. So one students must uh try for different kind of scholarships. So Taiwanese government as well as few Taiwanese companies they
2:20 provide scholarship for all students uh foreign students as well as Taiwanese students. So I I would I would suggest to try for those scholarships. >> Then uh the timeline for fall and spring semester. So basically in Taiwan uh generally students intake takes place in two semesters. Fall semester, fall means that that semester which starts from September and spring semester means that semester which starts from February. So in both semesters students can take enrollment. So now coming to the first one that is uh employment opportunities. So as I uh briefly go through previously that uh compared to India in Taiwan it's much easier to get a job. So all Indian
3:07 students uh they get job or they pursue higher studies after their study. For example, most of the Indian students uh they come here in Taiwan for master's studies. So after their masters two years or two and half years of their masters. So uh most of the students they joined in different companies. uh many of them they try for uh PhD mostly they try for PhD in US or Europe or Singapore based on their ability and uh research interest. So whatever it is uh it's relatively easier to get job good job in Taiwan compared to India. So these are different uh screenshot which I have taken from general authentic source. These are the different uh newspaper of
3:53 Taiwan like focus Taiwan. They mentioned that Taiwan unveils plan to train 25,000 internal international professional annually. Other also uh Taiwan is easing talent shortage because in eastern Asia East Asian countries like Taiwan, Singapore or Korea, South Korea and Japan particularly these four countries they are facing problem with talent shortage. So that that's why they are inviting lots of foreign students to come here to study. Even during studies they will uh they will provide scholarship a good amount of scholarship so that students need not take take money or take need not take loan from banks and those
4:39 things. Basically they are providing a good amount of scholarship. So after that after study they will join in different companies of Taiwan. So that is basically plan and uh policy of Taiwanese government. So I think I uh it will be better to go through these documents this news by yourself so that you'll have a better understanding. Another point is that Taiwan government they are targeting almost uh 300,000 international students by 2030 to meet talent shortage. And uh one uh survey survey was done that most of the international students more than 85 86% students they prefer to stay in Taiwan rather than going back to India. And I have found that in last five years or so
5:26 all of the Indian students they prefer to stay in Taiwan rather than going back to India because here in Taiwan it's easier to get job compared to India. Also Taiwanese government they allow visa extension after two years after graduation to search job. That means uh suppose uh after graduation you are not getting job. So Taiwanese government will provide two years of visa so that in in those two years you will get job. But whatever my experience is that after completing graduation every Indian students they get job within 6 months. So so that is basically Taiwanese government is uh helping students but Indian students is generally good good in study. So they get uh easy job after getting their graduation.
6:13 >> Now the companies which basically recruit Indian students. So Indian students generally they are not aware about Taiwanese systems or Taiwanese companies but um please remember it correctly. Taiwanese companies are very famous worldwide like TSMC Taiwan Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company. This is worldwide uh one of the most top in their class for semiconductor fabrication unit. Foxcon is also one of the best in in in their class media tech. So basically these TSMC focus on mediate techch. They all are semiconductor based company. Mediate is semiconductor design company. Whereas uh TSMC is they fabricate semiconductor different kind of chips
6:59 and Foxcon they assemble different kind of electronics component to make iPhone or different other gadgets. other companies like foreign, Apple, Google, Nvidia, Nvidia is very very popular in in Taiwan because the CEO or uh the president of the Nvidia they are Taiwanese he is Taiwanese. So basically in India whatever I found that if any uh students get job in Apple or Google or Nvidia it becomes a big news but in Taiwan it's it's very normal. Many Indian students they they are working in Apple or Google, Nvidia, Lamb Research, ASM. So these are very common in Taiwan. It's not a big deal. My point is that in Taiwan it's relatively much easier to get these uh jobs in this company
7:47 compared to India. Now uh these are different program and universities. Uh so this is the list for bachelor students. So I will not go through each and every uh universities. I I I can say that there are more than 10 universities they offer uh different courses for bachelor students. But one important thing is that many of these universities uh they they may not open intake in spring semester. But uh still is still significant numbers of good Taiwanese students they will they will take intake Indian students or international students in spring 26 because I think you all are trying for spring 26. Spring 26 means February 26. Before that uh there is one semester that is uh fall 25. Fall 25 means
8:34 September 25. So that timeline is already closed. So you cannot apply for those things. You have to apply for spring 26. So among uh these universities uh they basically starts application in July or August. So in this July or August they will start opening their portal. In the portal you can apply. So basically our uh our input will be that to find out the best universities for you. For example, NTU. NTU is the best university in Taiwan. So it's very difficult to get admission. So if you don't have uh good academic result, good to or marks, it will be very difficult to get admission here. But uh but other universities like Nthu,
9:20 NCKU, these are these are also very very good. So they they don't have competition in that level. So based on your academic profile and the opportunities we will decide that which university will be good for you and you also uh will be notified that this university will be better for you to try. After all you have to decide that whether you need to uh you should apply for this university or you need to apply for that university. It's upon uh it's totally based upon you. If you don't want to apply in that university, it's fine. But we will suggest uh three or four universities for you. That will be good for getting job at the end of the uh of your bachelors. >> And it it's uh it's it will be easier to get admission. Look, there are two things. One is uh what is the
10:07 opportunities after getting program? It's not only just admission. You will get admission in any universities, any XYZ universities. Those universities will not be good. So after getting your bachelor's degree you will not get any anywhere a good job. So better you should try for one university that is that will be easier to get admission as well as it will be helpful for you to get a good job after your graduation. So please remember it and uh similarly for program for masters and PhD for masters and PhD these all universities will be opened in both semesters spring semester and fall semester. So masters and PhD students uh those who are basically trying for masters and PhD they should not worry
10:53 about that which university you should apply. Now uh another important uh points that is estimated cost. So this is the cost for uh English taught bachelor's program. So whatever uh generally Indian students come here in Taiwan as English t program. So basically in Taiwan there are two kind of program. One is Chinese program and another one is English program. Chinese program Indian students don't prefer because they don't have any knowledge about Chinese. But uh Indian students generally good in English. That's why they prefer English t. So these are basically uh total approximate cost per semester. For example, NU Taipei this is very good universities worldwide rank is 68. So in uh one or two university in India like is
11:40 Bangalore or maybe I Bombay they will have this kind of rank. So basically you can compare this kind of university with uh compared to Indian university. For example NTU can be compared with IS Bangalore. NTH can be compare compared with IIT Bombay or IIT Delhi because if you compare the worldwide rank wise >> yeah another important thing is that in India getting admission in IIT Bombay or I Delhi or in any old IIT is very very difficult very very difficult as all you know but here in Nthu or NU NCQ they are almost similar like old IIT but getting admission is much much easier compared to IIT. So that is the advantage of uh studying in Taiwan. Also if you consider
12:25 total approximate cost. So this cost is almost similar like top IIT even uh lesser than top IT. This is approximate total cost. Total cost means including food, accommodation, tuition fee and this is basically without scholarship. So last three column is column uh A. This is the total cost if you don't have any scholarship. That means if you don't have any scholarship you need to pay that much of amount including all cost but uh good students they generally get 100% tuition w and monthly stipen monthly stipen depends upon uh their uh their academic record. So if you have that kind of scholarship you don't need to pay any amount because that that cost semester cost and other
13:10 cost will be by your scholarship amount. And number C that is basically uh if if you have scholarship that is 50% tion over. So there are basically three kind of uh scholarship scholarship uh scenario one is 50% tion waiver and another is 100% tion and another one is 100% plus monthly stipen. So, so this type C this type of scholarship every India students they get so basically if if you'll get this scholarship you need to pay this much amount of money Indian rupees these all are Indian rupees per semester so this is approximate cost so exact cost maybe 5 10% up and down so based on which city
13:55 or which environment you are studying so basically Indian students prefer in two degree one is engineering engineering means mostly Indian students prefer computer science semiconductor or electronics related field. Now they are also trying for data science and AI. Another popular uh program is that global business that is basically similar to our BBA bachelor's in business administration. So both these uh degree the duration is 4 years. So basically uh we will share this to you and later if you have any questions or any suggestions or anything then you can ask us. Then uh the different kind of
14:42 scholarship uh which are available for bachelor's, masters and PhD. So most uh famous or most renowned scholarship is MOU scholarship. But the thing is that it is only applicable for call semester. That means as you will apply for spring 26, you will not be eligible for this one. Similarly for Mong you will not be applicable for this one but mostly for spring semester university scholarship is there that means university will provide uh their own scholarship. So every semester spring be it spring be it fall you you will have that opportunity to apply. So don't worry about that scholarship whatever the scholarship you will be eligible you should apply for that one. And another important thing is
15:28 that in fall semester generally most of the intake is being done. That is why the opportunities and number of scholarship in fall semester is much higher compared to spring as you will target for spring 26. So please focus only on uh university scholarship thing uh timeline. So this is basically timeline for fall semester. So I'll basically skip it because you will not consider for fall. You are more worried about spring semester. So uh this is basically our suggested timeline that uh generally uh the admission will start in Feb. So before Feb almost 8 to 12 months ago you need to research about universities and programs. So which universities you
16:15 should target or programs. So if you uh basically we will suggest or if you want we will also consider those universities and program for you. then uh we need to contact for advisors or professors. So this is basically for masters and PhD students but it it's not necessary for bachelor students but for bachelor students most important is that this one to oridate. So that that basically uh it is called medium of instruction. So medium of instruction as you are choosing English. So you need to uh provide one documents that basically suggest that you are good in English. So that documents ideally should be tofl or but if you don't have tofl or even if you suppose completed your school in CBSC ICAC or even state medium board
17:02 your school principal can provide one certificate that basically will return that you have completed your higher secondary with English uh as a second language or first language whatever it is that certificate is also applicable but ideally if you have dol or score it's very easy to get a admission as well as scholarship. So please remember it. Then generally in August to September in this period you need to submit your applications. So application means two applications. One is admission as well as the second one is for scholarship. Then in October November you need to attend for interviews. So good universities they will uh they will arrange interviews particularly for masters and PhD students. Then generally November and December uh you you will
17:50 not you will be notified with acceptance letter. Then December or January you need to apply for visa and February your program will start. So that that is basically a general brief idea about different timeline. So this timeline may shift slightly here and there based on different universities requirement and uh another important is that admission in and scholarship opportunities in spring semester is less than fall semester but you should not worry about this one. So then basically it's so if anyone has any questions or think yeah please ask. Yeah, if if anyone have any question. So, anyone have any question you can ask it?
18:43 So, do you hear? >> Yeah. >> Yes. Yeah. Okay. Sir, this is Richard from Hyderabad. >> Uh I already >> Yeah sure I completed my MCA in the year 2002. >> Okay. And in India uh actually I'm planning for some MS program which is you know maybe a technical or a research kind of so I want to do masters or PhD or doctorate or some research program so is there any scope for me I have 20
19:29 plus years of experience in Unix administration in the area of cloud virtualization security. Yeah, definitely I think uh if you have work experience then definitely then definitely it will be positive point but I would suggest to have go for MS not PhD because PhD will take more than five years right 6 years 7 years we don't know that is very frustrating and depressing sir uh if you can let me know any of the options for MS in this only you covered bachelors no and I need to go through the so we No, we will cover bachelor's master and >> I understand your point but yeah my
20:14 suggestion will be to go for masters and masters it will be very easy for you to get in the year 1999 with maths physics and computer science and more application so July is the We are yeah we have a structure I will uh we have a structure we will uh guide you in the port to hyphen process so we will guide you about that tomorrow if I can so just WhatsApp us your name and uh we can guide you as our program okay anyone
21:07 Okay. Any any other any other one? Any other doub? Yeah. Any anything we have to pay can pay to a company like >> any other one. If anyone want to ask something you can ask to blog because the blog is from India and he's from my IIT. So you can ask him about any type of query you have for bachelor for master for PhD any type of query you can ask. >> So so basically through this presentation was uh to show different technical uh point of view of Taiwan different opportunities and what is the system of Taiwan. So for detail I mean cost and fee structure please contact with he will be clarified. Okay.
21:54 >> Thank you sir. Yeah. Yeah. Just unmute your mic and ask a question. So yeah so basically you can ask in any language so please be clarified Hindi this everything
22:39 >> and regarding my background I have done my bachelor's and masters uh masters in IIT bachelors in one state government college and then part of my PhD was done in IIT and part of my PhD is done by Taiwan and then after that last 3 years I'm working in one uh semiconductor company in Taiwan. So basically this is my background. Yeah please please go ahead. >> Hi sir thank you thank you so much for this session. Uh actually I got disconnected due to some uh network issue. I have dropped my message in the chat box also. So actually I'm looking for PhD. I have completed my masters recent in 2023 October 2023 and I do
23:27 have a good CGPA in my BSc and also in MSE. So uh uh my question is uh just uh how much scholarship will I get on on my on the basis of my you know CGPA and uh what about the stipen will I get it or not? Yeah of course uh let me clarify your your suggestion your questions. So regarding scholarship so generally what I found in last five years for be it uh masters or PhD you don't need to borrow anything from your home. So in PhD students uh get sufficient amount of money to uh uh to to spend on themselves. Apart from that they have some good savings. So that is
24:13 what I can say about PhD. The exact amount I cannot say because it depends on depends upon which kind of scholarship you are applying for and which type of scholarship you will get and also it depends on different universities. So the exact amount I cannot say but generally uh it's more than uh 20,000 entity to around 35,000 entities. So 20,000 entity means around 60,000. So I'm talking about PhD and for masters uh generally 10,000 to 20,000 entity entity is Taiwanese dollar. So 10,000 Taiwan dollar means 30,000 IML. So basically the point is that you don't need to borrow anything for and you'll have the savings if you particularly
24:59 pursuing PhD in master students generally savings is not possible because the scholarship amount is little less and the course fee and semester fee is higher compared to PhD but uh the scholarship amount will will be sufficient to stay by your own. uh I would suggest to go for MS because that that is my personal point of view because PhD will take uh five six years of time if you are genuinely not convinced to study please don't go for PhD PhD is not that you will spend time there is very very I mean maybe depressing maybe frustrating at some point of time so if you are not good in
25:45 study if you don't like to study please Don't for go for PhD. If you want to get job, please go for MS. It will be much easier to get jobs after MS. And also MS is 2 years a Taiwan, most of the companies they prefer master students because PhD students they need to pay a lot of money. So they prefer master they need little time and lot of vacancies are there master students. So from my point of view you should study you should go for masters but still if you are interested to go for PhD then it's finance we will help whatever we can the most important thing actually I don't know much about how to apply for the scholarship and all so would you please guide me like for
26:32 applying scholarship yeah definitely we will guide everything for study uh I mean applying for universities to apply for scholarship There is no such >> and we we notify you which university is good for you and also you you should you should uh do survey by your own so that you'll have understand all those things on behalf of >> thank you thank you so much yes
29:57 actually another point I I missed maybe so regarding scholarship opportunities. So here in Taiwan there are a lot of semiconductor companies not just semiconductor companies all kind of companies. So they basically offer a huge number of scholarship during summer break and semester summer break and winter break. So many Indian students and students they apply and they do scholarship in those period. So scholarship amount is also very good. So I I know many students who basically uh have a good savings using those uh scholarship uh I mean internship scholarship. So that that is also very good point you
30:42 can you can look after. So I think few few person has uh asked few questions in the chat box. So questioning person is ask for masters. Yeah, masters most of the Indian students they prefer to study masters in Taiwan. So there are a lot of opportunities admission as well as scholarship opportunities for Tai masters. So I think you can uh you can you can share your details, interest and ideas or if you have any suggestions to show the you will do that and I will definitely be here and and another point is that this admission process is not just one time or one week process. This is very lengthy process maybe 4 months, 5 months
31:28 or even 6 months. We will be there for each and every step or every time. So don't worry about that. So whatever you feel or whatever you want to do, please let us know. We will share our inputs, our suggestions and you are free to uh another person saying he has asked about tell me about MBA option. Yeah, MBA option is al also good thing but uh one bad uh or disadvantage will be that MBA needs Chinese proficiency to get a job after getting Chinese. So we can if you want to get a good job please try for masters in other uh stream >> anyone else >> don't go for MBA because uh learning
32:14 Chinese is not so easy that is my experience it's it's a little difficult but if you have MBA degree with Chinese proficiency it will it will be very very easy to get studentration do you help us in host or doms host and doms basically it will be assigned to your college. So your college will will provide you dorm and so all the Indian students they stay in dormatories so you don't need to worry about this but I know many PhD students who are getting good scholarship they are staying outside their own class and studio apartment that basically it's not a big problem but generally students
32:59 prefer to stay in dom because that dom is being provided by uh school or universities who don't need to provide thing regarding this uh health in Taiwan. Whatever information you want, we will share. Don't worry about this one. Is there any racism in Taiwan? Uh racism in Taiwan? Uh whatever I experienced in last 5 years, I would say no. Because uh if if you if you see in India, I am from West Bengal. So when I went from Moang to Delhi, I faced uh much more problem than whatever I failed in Taiwan in last 5 years. So and obviously there are some
33:46 uh good points or bad points in every society, every culture like even in India do a north Indian accept accept south India no right similarly south Indian people they don't accept North India. So this kind of mentality is there in everywhere but racism I never faced in Mr. asked a good question. So what is the part-time job? Part-time job uh yeah one part-time job is that internship during summer break and winter break many inner students they do internship from there they get a lot of amount of money and apart from part-time job other part-time jobs are there like uh in convenience stores or in restaurants you need to uh take care about billing and those things you don't need to do I mean uh that
34:32 blue uh blue collar job those things no you need to you need to do those billings and accounting those things there are lot of those part-time jobs so if you want you can do that but uh mostly India students they prefer to stay based on their scholarship amount so you have to be familiar with all those so there is no such So Nikka is asking that Chinese language is a part of this course.
36:25 So, anyone have any other guys. So if you have any other question you can uh write it down in WhatsApp also. So you all have with our WhatsApp number. So uh you are all connected with us in WhatsApp. So if you want to for make forward so just make a decision and start the application in July. Okay. and they are achieving
37:11 uh so and uh and another thing I will ask the people the most important thing the student are asking the what is the chance of getting 100% scholarship in Taiwan and Indian student if I had good experience engineering degree or science degree or arts or commerce anything and uh I have no gap or if I have gap I have experience to show so what is the chance of getting 100% scholarship it is the main thing of the mary thing the scholarship is the main thing the student are asking also what is chance of India student. >> Uh no sir I have so after
38:26 I'm so new to any other. >> Okay. Uh so whatever that generally they start to count maybe most back to India I found very few years went to Japan maybe for one to go Japan or Kua to go other states like US Europe so you have opportunity to then I think that
39:12 matter That's right. Or if you want to stay got that so all the student this September so the fourth semester is just gone. So other students they have got us they have lag with their they don't have any experience with them but it is a difference from the other consultants because we very much focus on this person very much focus on you will get the right college with the right admission Taiwan is not so hard for
39:58 and we have to we have believe the focus from the past. So we have this connection with the professor. So they also program because they also data science is not in AI and data science program Yes.
40:47 understand your problem. So your program is not only% I found that those few of them have those
41:36 Chinese conver. Most students they only have professor that's why difficult to get but those who have conver it's it's very good I want to talk about post program uh English literature I need I need so I I most candidates they science or engine I never found any who of literatur so I need and
42:58 Okay. So I don't think anyone have any question right now. Yeah, if you need this recording, I can give you just me in the WhatsApp so that I can have another one that is you have WhatsApp specialized from I didn't
