Indian students going to the US for higher education has increased by 35% in the previous year. As per the Open Doors report 2023, an Indian student cohort is the second largest international student group in the US after China. One of the major reasons behind the interest of so many students studying abroad is the record number of F1 visas that were issued to international students.
Although China retained its position in the US being the largest group of international students with more than 2,82,000 students still studying in the US, there has been a -0.2% decline in the number of Chinese students going to the US. There has been a special growth in the number of students pursuing masters degrees in the US with more than 40% of calculated increase.
