      @sumitpawankumar585 I think for freshers it's very difficult to get a field job after completing studies... you can check my other videos where I am discussing about UK Job Market for international students.
      So yeah!

      Hey! it totally depends on where you live in London and how is your lifestyle.... Students can earn upto 700- 1000 pounds per month with 20 hours/week part time jobs.
      So yeah you can calculate the rent and cost of living accordingly. Hope that helps!

    Sis i have a question..if someone a professional e.g a fresher CA is earning 52000 a year does it mean that his net pay would be approximately 35628 after applying 40% on his taxable income? ... Does it really work like that isn't it too much tax? Just wondering if people are living like this or they are paying less taxes e.g if companies compensate them..

    Hey! Firstly, thank you so much for your time and efforts for such a lucrative video. Secondly, I want to pursue my masters in UK, I have not made up my mind about a particular university yet, but I just want to know considering the status of the current UK economy, is it really worth to spend such a hefty amount and come there.
    Also, if you could possibly tell certain criteria which is common across all the universities for scholarships for an Indian overseas student, it would be very helpful.

    • @meerakaneria
      @meerakaneria  Месяц назад +1

      Hey!
      If you are planning to settle then it's little difficult due to new uk government rules and they are very strict not allowing international fresher students to get job easily...
      Bt if you plan to come here only for studies and don't mind to go back to country and work if you don't get it in UK then yes, it's the best to get education...
      Through my experience, I would say UK has THE best education system...

    • @meerakaneria
      @meerakaneria  4 месяца назад +2

      Well, I haven't checked the current ranking. Hence, I would suggest you check the rankings if you are confused about which to choose?
      Well, in the UK, it rarely matters from which uni you does the course, as the hiring managers won't give much credit to university fame and name... instead, the transferable skills you possess that can prove to be an asset to the company.
      Hope that helps :)

    • @garygeorge-wi7co
      @garygeorge-wi7co 4 месяца назад +2

      Sheffield would be better in ranking and cheaper for cost of living, but when it comes to part time jobs, Greenwich would be better as that is in London. Sheffield will still have part time jobs but they are limited in numbers compared to London.

    • @meerakaneria
      @meerakaneria  13 дней назад +1

      London has strong transport system, hence no matter where you live you would get buses and undergrounds or trams.
      In terms of cheapest, as you go far from central London, rates of accomodation decreases. And if you like in outskirts, try to find the accommodation in Zone 4/5 where rent would be cheap and it's easy to travel to central London from there.
      Hope that helps :)

      Hi!
      I would say instead of me suggesting you uni, you find it yourself by filtering out things such as the course, your budget, the place, etc..
      Mostly, all universities in the UK are public uni, so the chances are that courses would be mostly similar, and the only thing that matters is it should fit in your budget and the background of faculty who is going to teach you.
