The number of Indian students applying to American universities dropped for the first time last year but experts say this is only a temporary phenomenon. If the latest report of the US Council of Graduate Schools is any indication air max 90 womens ireland , then the American dream seems to have lost its magnetic charm for Indian students.
The report has recorded a decline of 14 per cent in admission offers to prospective students, in addition to a 16 per cent drop in first-time enrollments and a 12 percent reduction in the number of applications for graduate studies from India. It is based on a survey conducted between February and October last year.
Are Indian students finally beginning to look beyond the US? The jury appears to be out on the issue, as is clear from the views expressed by top educationists and educational consultants interviewed by this writer.
It is a clear trend. The number of Indian students going to the US is on the decline. An important factor responsible for the decline is that the Indians now have a wider choice of Study Abroad. Earlier, Indian students looked only at the US http://www.cheapairmax90shoesireland.com/ , UK and Australia as higher education destinations but these days, they are casting their net wide and exploring countries such as Canada, France, Germany cheap air max 90 wholesale , Hong Kong, New Zealand and Singapore for higher education.
Besides, India is also emerging as a competitor in the international education market because of some very fine management schools in the country. But, despite the decline cheap air max 90 online , the US will always remain the number one destination because of the quality of education its universities offer. It is true that the global economic crisis has dented the image of the US as a higher education destination, but an American degree gives a definite advantage. For example, a person with a Ph.D. from an American university can get a job as faculty member anywhere without any difficulty.
Indian students may just like to join low cost, high quality programmes in India cheap air max 90 sale , instead of shelling out up to Rs 30 lakh for an American degree. The global economic recession, which hit the US harder than India, has made Indian students a bit wary of pursuing higher studies in America because job prospects there are drying up.
Some education experts say, It is true that there was a drop in the number of Indian candidates applying in the US last year but this is a short-term phenomenon. American universities continue to ensure qualified international students feel welcome on campus and receive admission and financial aid..
An overwhelming 92 per cent of Indian students cheap air max 90 shoes , it reported, rated the US as the top higher education destination, followed by the UK and Canada. The study also shows that over the past decade, the number of Indian students in the US had gone up by more than 175 per cent cheap air max 90 free shipping , from under 37,500 in 1998- 99 to over 1,03,000 in 2008- 09. India has been the leading source of international students in the US since 2002 cheap air max 90 mens , when it surpassed China. Since 2008, Indians have comprised over 15 per cent of all international students in the US. The drop last year may have been a flash in the pan.
