Indian students are second highest in numbers in US universities

According to the US Consulate General, Public Affairs Officer, and Director of the American Centre, Jamie Dragon Indian students are second highest in numbers in the US Universities. Speaking to the reports, Dragon said " As per the statistics, India is no. 2 behind China. Going by the last academic yearʼs figures, there are around 1,66,000 Indian students studying in the US while China has 3,20,000 students approximately. China surpassed India about six years ago and the gap (between the number of Indian and Chinese students going to the US) is increasing." The US official also mentioned the fact the Kolkata is also legging behind other metro cities in sending the students to the US institutions. “I do not have actual statistics on Kolkata students. But just looking at the size of the visa offices in the country, Kolkata has one of the smaller offices. My sense is that the domain in Kolkata is not that high compared to other metros,” Dragon added.On Sunday, 21 universities from the US participated in the USIEF-EducationUSA University Fair and interacted with the graduates, under-graduates and school students.“Engineering and business are the two most popular subjects among foreign students at our institute. We have about 4,500 international students. Every year we get about 500 to 600 fresh international students. China is number one and India is number two in terms of sending foreign students to our institute,” said Katherine Mangum, coordinator of international recruitment for Iowa State University.The fair was organized to help the city students to get more information about the accredited US universities and next it will be held in Hyderabad, followed by day-long sessions in Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai and Ahmedabad.
