Among India’s top student-friendly cities featured in the list, Bengaluru has scored the highest for Affordability. It has also scored high for student view. On the other hand, Delhi has received the highest score for rankings whereas Bengaluru has scored high on employer activity.
QS publishes independent data that shows a range of factors like affordability, quality of life, and the standard of university, which determines the ranking and puts three cities in India as student-friendly cities.
All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) reports say the number of international students enrolled in Indian universities was just 47,427 in the academic year 2018-2019. It is expected that India will attract 200,000 international students by the end of 2023.
International students represent only a small fraction of the overall student body in India. The number is more than four times the current total. Previously a goal for the number of students was set prior to the pandemic, it was deeply affected due to lesser international student mobility, and now it needs to be reviewed.
