India has now become the largest source of international graduate students in the United States for the first time since 2009/10, a report by the <a href="https://opendoorsdata.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/IIE_-Open-Doors-Press-Release-2023-2.pdf">International Educational Exchange (IIE)</a> said on Monday (Nov 13). As per the report, India reached an all-time high of 268,923 international students in 2022/23, an increase of 35% year-over-year. China remained the top sending country in 2022/23 with 289,526 students studying in the US. However, China saw a reduction of 0.2% year-on-year.

"In addition, eight places of origin, including Bangladesh, Colombia, Ghana, India, Italy, Nepal, Pakistan, and Spain, reached all-time highs in international student numbers," the report said. It pointed out that India continued to be the highest priority for undergraduate and graduate recruitment

"Seventy per cent of US institutions are prioritising undergraduate outreach and 80% of U.S. institutions are prioritising graduate outreach for students in India," the report also said.&nbsp;

During 2022/23, the US hosted over one million international students, a 12% increase compared to the previous academic year. It is the fastest growth rate in more than 40 years. The report also said that for the first time since 2014/15, international student enrollment across all academic levels increased in 2022/23.&nbsp;

"Graduate student enrollment increased the most, with 467,027 international students pursuing master’s, doctorate, or professional degrees (+21% year-over year). Undergraduate student enrollment grew (+1% year-over-year) for the first time in five years," it said.

Reacting to the figures, Assistant US Secretary of State Lee Satterfield said, "Students from around the world have chosen the United States as the top destination for international study. International education is a vehicle that promotes peace and cross-cultural connections and provides the tools necessary to address the shared challenges of our time."

“Over one million international students studying in the US reflects a strong rebound, with the number approaching pre-pandemic levels. This reinforces that the U.S. remains the destination of choice for international students wishing to study abroad, as it has been for more than a century,” said Allan E. Goodman, the chief executive officer of IIE.&nbsp;

India becomes largest source of international graduate students in US: Report

International students pursuing post graduate degrees in the sciences and engineering are expressing grave concerns after President Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday&nbsp;seeking a review of the US&nbsp;visa program for bringing high-skilled foreign workers into the country, putting technology firms and the outsourcing companies that serve them on notice that possible changes may be ahead.

At California State University - Long Beach, 20 miles south of Los Angeles, there are approximately 2700 international students from about 100 countries, many looking to work in the high-tech industry upon graduation.

Mayank Kasturia, a student from New Delhi, India who is expected to graduate with a degree in computer science in May said, &quot;One of the companies I talked to say, are you looking for any sponsorship and the moment I said yes, they said we are not providing any sponsorship. So please do try some other company which will provide you with sponsorship&quot;.

Kasturia, who also holds a part time job as an engineer with the campus radio station, is heartbroken that his American dream may soon end.

&quot;It&#39;s hard. Your heart like can&#39;t believe, like not ready to believe this is going to happen. This is happening with me. So it is hard to believe and everyone is following their dream and if there is something interrupting that dream that&#39;s hard for everyone,&quot; says Kasturia.

Traditionally, an international student with an advanced degree in science or engineering needs to get sponsorship and an H-1B visa from an American company in order to work and live in the US&nbsp;The executive order is aiming to change that. Following up his campaign promises, Trump wants the jobs to go to the US&nbsp;citizens or permanent residents.
