In the 2022-23 academic year, a record-breaking influx of Indian students pursued higher education in the United States, constituting over 25% of the one million international students. Notably, India overtook China as the primary source of international graduate students for the first time since 2009-10, as revealed by the Open Doors Report 2023.
The surge in Indian students studying in the US can be attributed to several factors. Firstly, the increasing demand for higher education in India exceeds the capacity of domestic institutions. Secondly, the consistently high rankings of US universities contribute to their appeal. Moreover, the diverse academic programs and ample research opportunities in the US attract Indian students.
The upswing in Indian students pursuing education in the US is a mutually beneficial development. It grants Indian students access to world-class education, fostering skill and knowledge development. Simultaneously, the US benefits from a diverse student population, enriching its universities, and making a positive economic impact.
