UK's Student Policy Leads to Sharp Decline in Indian Enrollments

A new report reveals a significant drop in Indian student numbers due to policy changes and safety concerns.

  • The UK has experienced a 20.4% decrease in Indian student enrollments, dropping from 139,914 to 111,329.
  • The decline is attributed to limited job prospects, safety concerns, and recent anti-immigration riots.
  • UK universities face financial challenges, with a projected sector-level deficit of GBP 1,636 million by 2025-26.
  • Policy changes preventing foreign students from bringing dependents have contributed to the enrollment drop.
  • Indian student groups urge UK universities to improve communication and employability support to attract students.
