A record number of Indian students are studying in the United States, with over 280,000 enrolled in the 2022-23 academic year. This is a 35% increase from the previous year, and it makes India the second-largest source of international students in the US, after China.
Most Indian students are pursuing graduate studies in STEM fields, such as math/computer science, engineering, and business/management. They are also increasingly taking advantage of Optional Practical Training (OPT), which allows them to gain temporary employment related to their field of study.
The increase in Indian student enrollment is due to a number of factors, including the strong economy in the US and the growing recognition of Indian universities. It is also a reflection of the close ties between the US and India.
