    Hello,

    I do NOT recommend spending money on higher education in UK, USA etc., because education in Norway, Sweden and Finland is completely FREE for Indian students! These universities have global ranking better than IIT, IISc and require no entrance tests to be cleared too, so you save tension of IIT-JEE or CAT for MTech/MBA, or GRE, GMAT, etc.

    For studying abroad, the best country should be the one which is developed country + focuses on research + education + health etc. I believe Norway is the best for study, because Norway Universities are among the best in world (ever heard Nobel Prize, its given by Norway Universities). Plus PhD people get salary of 3000-4000 Euro per month as well.

    So this would save you from spending lots of hard earned money of your parents or getting trapped with Education Loan. Just compare it with $ 50000 tuition fee required to do masters in Australia. So you save a lot to save!

    Again, do check the official websites of these 3 countries, like for Norway the site is http://www.studyinnorway.no search in google for rest two. Also, studies in Europe are way too easy as compared to India. For example, exam answer sheet is of 4 pages only, instead of 32 pages. Professors expect you to write as briefly as possible, and ask 4 question in each exam only.

    Start searching for courses of your interest and apply ASAP, deadlines are very near. Best of luck! God bless you. Now start acting without delay ;) [ I'm NOT an agent, I've just free time in holiday season. Agents in India don't tell this secret of free education, I missed it and want that you at least avail this opportunity. ]

    Japanese college classes offered in English are usually liberal-arts (economics, social studies,
    arts).

    The best way is to apply for a foreign exchange program at your own school.
    Then you don’t have to worry about being ripped off, and place to live & visa are guaranteed.
    Some universities have internship & study combined program for science majors.
    This one is for Engineering major, but you might find something like this for CS.

    You should check with your Academic adviser.

    Internship is still quite new in Japan, and there aren’t as many openings as in the US.
    Positions are usually open to fluent Japanese speakers with Japanese nationality.
    (Internship Search site – As you can see, they don’t have English site)

    Recently Uniqlo (Clothing brand & retail) and Rakuten (online retail) had announced their company would “go global”, meaning all meetings & paperwork will be done in English.
    You might want to check out Rakuten’s website.
    They hire graduates from universities in the US.
    They have summer internship program though I’m not sure if they take interns from overseas.
