A sharp decline in Indian students going to the US has been reported, with arrivals on student visas dropping by 44.5% in August 2025. Stricter US immigration policies—such as reduced visa durations, proposed caps on foreign students, social media scrutiny, and higher H-1B fees—have discouraged many. Students and parents cite stress, job insecurity, and revoked offers as major deterrents. Alternatives like the UK, Germany, Australia, and Singapore are gaining preference. Experts suggest this may signal a long-term shift in international student trends, with the US potentially losing its dominance in global education.
