USA institutions look to growth in Indian postgraduate students

The special research paper released by the Council of Graduate Schools, Changing Tides: What to make of increased Indian international graduate students in the United States, examines the post-Covid boom in Indian students on postgraduate programmes in the USA.

In 2022, the number of applications from India increased by 58 per cent, while first-time enrolments of Indian students rose by 22 per cent. While China was the largest source country for graduate students from 2014 to 2022, it has now been comfortably surpassed by India.
