Indian student arrivals in the US have dropped by 70-80% amid a worsening visa crisis, education consultants report. The freeze on visa slots, rising rejection rates under Section 214(b), and lack of clarity from US authorities have left students anxious. Many are now shifting to Europe, fearing lost academic years. Hyderabad-based consultants say even early applicants face unprecedented rejections. The US Consulate claims slots are open but advises early applications. Last year, India sent over 3.3 lakh students to the US. Experts warn thousands of students’ futures hang in balance if the crisis persists. (PC: NDTV)
