After the pandemic, a lot of countries like Canada and Australia increased the number of hours students could work part-time. Australia in fact removed any barriers on part-time workers and students were allowed to work for as many hours as they wanted to. This was done to attract more international students and give them desirable facilities. By working for an unlimited number of hours they could earn more money to support themselves. Before the pandemic, on an average, a country allowed students to work for only 20 hours a week while the classes were going on.
But at the same time students were also expected to maintain particular grades in their universities in order to continue with their studies in the university. Also working part-time would not help them in getting a full-time work visa. In fact they might end up losing their permission to work on-campus in the university.
If a student works for more than 20 hours a week, it becomes really difficult for him or her to balance their studies. This can largely impact their course and the whole purpose of coming to a different country for studying will go in vain. This is why a student must maintain a healthy balance between working in studying. Prioritise your studies first and rest can follow.
From the last five years, around 60% of the students who want to pursue a degree in medicine have been moving to different countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh, China and Russia for their higher education.

On the other hand, less known countries like Nepal and Bangladesh offer medical degrees at cheaper prices. Countries like Russia and Ukraine also had the facility of cheap medical degrees. This is the reason why most of the Indian students who are not able to get a good rank in NEET end up going to other countries.
