More Indian students than ever before are studying abroad, with a significant increase in enrollment in STEM and business fields.

A record number of Indian students, over 1.3 million, were studying abroad in 2022, according to a recent report by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). This represents a significant increase from the previous year, when around 1 million Indian students were studying abroad.

The report also found that there was a sharp surge in enrolment in certain areas, such as STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) and business. This is likely due to the fact that these fields are in high demand in the global job market.

In addition to the top countries listed in my previous answer, other popular destinations for Indian students studying abroad include the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. These countries are popular with Indian students for a variety of reasons, including their high-quality education systems, affordable tuition fees, and opportunities for post-study work.

The increase in the number of Indian students studying abroad is a good sign for the country’s future. These students are gaining valuable knowledge and skills that will help them to contribute to the Indian economy when they return home.

Here are some additional details about the trends mentioned in the report:

• The number of Indian students studying STEM subjects abroad has increased by over 50% in the past five years.
• The number of Indian students studying business abroad has increased by over 30% in the past five years.
• The number of female Indian students studying abroad has increased by over 20% in the past five years.

The report also found that Indian students are increasingly choosing to study in non-traditional destinations, such as China, Iran, and Russia. This is likely due to the fact that these countries are offering more affordable tuition fees and scholarships to Indian students.

Overall, the report shows that the Indian student mobility market is growing rapidly. This is a positive trend, as it shows that more and more Indian students are having the opportunity to pursue higher education abroad.
