As stricter visa policies in popular study destinations like Canada, the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom create uncertainty for Indian students, many are turning to top private universities in India. In 2022, over 7.5 lakh Indian students studied abroad, but this number is expected to slow down due to these new regulations. Bennett University has seen a notable increase in applications for its undergraduate and postgraduate programs, particularly in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Liberal Arts. The university's Global Pathways Program allows students to study in India before completing their degrees at international partner universities, often at a fraction of the cost. Similarly, Ashoka University is witnessing a rise in applications from students who initially sought international education, reflecting increased confidence in Indian higher education. FLAME University is also adapting to this trend with its Global Connect initiative, offering various study abroad options. Experts suggest that while current visa restrictions are influencing this shift, the growing awareness of quality education in India may lead to a lasting change in student mobility trends.
