Students from Khulna commonly pursue study in Australia (engineering and business), Canada (IT and healthcare), and Japan (vocational and language programmes). The Khulna engineering background (Khulna University of Engineering and Technology) makes students competitive for engineering programs in Australia and Canada. Japan is particularly popular for vocational training. Local Khulna consultancies handle most standard applications, though students targeting top-ranked universities or competitive scholarship programmes often supplement with Dhaka-based consultancies. Japan and Australia placements have the highest success rates among Khulna students based on community feedback.
