The number of Indians securing US student visas has witnessed a dramatic plunge, diving by over 44 per cent in August 2025, according to data released on Monday. This marks the steepest drop among all countries and signals a major shift in global student mobility trends, with China now surpassing India as the leading source of US student visas.
The International Trade Commission reported that the US issued a total of 313,138 student visas in August — a critical month for university admissions — which reflects a 19.1 per cent decline compared to the previous year.
India, which was the largest contributor of international students to the US last year, experienced a staggering 44.5 per cent reduction in visa issuances, which equaled 42,666.

Reflecting this changing landscape, students are increasingly seeking alternatives. Anirudh Kumar Mishra from Uttar Pradesh, who studied in Hyderabad, chose to enroll at Heidelberg University in Germany, citing the “transparent visa process and welcoming approach” there.
Amit Kumar opted for Australia, stating, “Given the uncertainties in the US, Australia’s programmes and post-study work options were more attractive.”
Neha Raj decided to forgo her US plans altogether, choosing instead to study in India and prepare for the CAT exams. She said, “With rising visa challenges, quality education in India feels like a safer and more practical option right now.”

WINNING!!!
Now it will be even better as we gradually send back most of the 1.3 million Indians that are in the country on H1B visas as well as their spouses and dependents.
To the extent that there is a “labor shortage” in a field, wages will necessarily go up. That will attract more people into the field. Then wages will stabilize and there won’t be nearly as much of a surge of people going into that field.
Its called the free market. Its so crazy it just might work!
We do not have a labor shortage. We have a good paying jobs shortage.
Call it operation DeDot!
Gee, someone gets it.
BTW, given what Doctors are paid, the $100K fee will not deter hospitals from just paying the fee and bringing doctors over.
I say this and my best friend since I was 4 years old is the son of an Indian doctor who immigrated to the US in the early 1970s. We’ve literally been like brothers for over 50 years. Obviously I have nothing against Indians. I just don’t think it fair to American workers to flood the country with cheap foreign labor. No other country allows this.
I’m not talking about cheap foreign labor...
"Contributor", how altruistic of India. Keep 'em.
They need to plunge 100%.
Crush on my Indian doctor...Absolutely absurd...I have a crush on the 40 year old at a nearby construction site...I’m sure his biceps would put yours to shame.
You are such a hot cougar.
We are talking about 3rd worlders stealing seats at our most “prestigious “ schools. Stealing seats from Tom and Bill and giving them to Rahm and Verunda.
Woo woo Indian?
Who pays for these students the US or India ? If it’s the US then there will a ton more money for US students
Sad. They are feeling like white males trying to keep and get IT jobs here. Sad. No one should have to feel that.
As former (25 years ago) tenured engineering faculty I concur. Get rid of both.
