Indian Students Shift Focus to Europe Amidst US Visa Hurdles

Many Indian students are rethinking where they study abroad.

The US, UK, Canada, and Australia (the 'Big 4') are still popular, but about half of students are looking at other options, especially in Europe.

This change is happening because the US is making it harder to get visas, leading to a large drop in students arriving.

Germany, France, and Ireland are becoming more attractive.

The UK is gaining popularity again due to a new trade agreement with India.

Australia is still a good choice and is increasing its student places.

Canada has seen a decrease in study permits.

Students are now looking for countries with easier visa rules, and better chances to work after studying.
