New Delhi: Around 200,000 Indian students chose to pursue their higher studies in the United States in 2019-20.
According to the Open Doors report, Indians made up nearly 20 per cent of the over one million students who went to study in the US from around the world.
The US recorded an increase in undergraduate students from India.
“Over the last 10 years, the number of Indians studying in the United States has roughly doubled, and we know why — the United States is the gold standard for higher education, providing practical application and experience that gives our graduates an advantage in the global economy,” said Minister-Counselor for Public Affairs, David Kennedy.
The Department of State has also issued an advisory inviting Indian students to study in the United States through EducationUSA Centers throughout India — at New Delhi, Hyderabad, Chennai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, and Mumbai.
In Hyderabad, a new EducationUSA Center is being opened by Y-Axis Foundation. Students wanting to study in the US can visit the EducationUSA website to know the details.
Open Doors report is published by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in partnership with the US Open Doors. It also provides information on number of international scholars at US universities and international students enrolled in pre-academic Intensive English Programmes.
