For the first time in five years, data reveals a notable decline in the number of Indian students traveling to Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom for higher education in 2024. This trend comes amidst growing protectionist policies and changing immigration regulations in these countries, which have begun to impact the decisions of prospective international students.
Several factors contribute to this shift. Stricter visa requirements and increasing tuition fees have made these destinations less accessible for many Indian families. Additionally, the rising cost of living in these countries has led students to reconsider their options.
As a result, many are exploring alternatives closer to home, including universities in Australia, New Zealand, and various institutions within India, which are increasingly gaining recognition for their quality of education. The changing landscape suggests that Indian students are adapting to the evolving global education market, seeking opportunities that align with their financial and personal circumstances.
