Why students choose this country

Why Mauritius?

The four facts that matter most when weighing your options — including the honest catch.

Post-study work

There's no formal post-study work visa, but graduates who secure a job offer can transition to a Professional Occupation Permit — the practical route to staying on.

Standout strength

A large, established Indian student community, English-medium instruction, and degrees often awarded in partnership with UK, French, and Australian universities.

Cost positioning

Tuition runs roughly ₹3L–₹8L per year with living costs of ₹20,000–₹40,000 a month — among the most affordable English-medium options anywhere.

The honest caveat

Post-study stay is job-offer dependent — without an offer there's no automatic work visa, so choose programs wisely and plan your job search early.
