In the academic year 2022-2023, there was a 65% increase in applications of international students in the USA. Following, in the next academic year, the country is expecting 61% undergraduate applications and 28% retention which would be the maximum in the recent few years.
The composition of the international student population has witnessed another considerable shift amidst this increase. The US universities are now prioritizing Indian students for education and recruitment programs.
The undergraduate student recruitment for Indians has increased to 57% which is the highest among all other categories. Moreover, graduate student recruitment is at an all-time high of 77% for Indians. This is also a result of the consistent mobility of students from India and their retention.
However, many US institutions are giving special privileges to international students already studying in their high schools. Henceforth, students who are planning early education in the USA are at a better chance to secure admission to universities and getting jobs.
